This has been hinted at before (Touchy Feely Joe sniffing hair and feeling up necks and what not) but now Tara Reade is alleging that Joe, unsolicited, put his fingers somewhere else way back in 1993.
Her current allegation:
Her original allegation from 2019: https://www.theunion.com/news/nevad...d-her-while-working-in-his-u-s-senate-office/
Mainstream Media: https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/joe-biden-faces-sexual-assault-211641946.html (why is this buried in Lifestyle??)
The Intercept: https://theintercept.com/2020/03/24/joe-biden-metoo-times-up/
So... what’s your take? I think she’s definitely credible. I certainly question her motivation for coming forward now (as opposed to last year when she defended Flores publicly and only told part of her own story). But I understand that coming forward with a bombshell accusation against a leading Presidential candidate isn’t an easy decision to make and that’s why so many of these stories come out decades later.
Apparently she went to TimesUp org for legal support and $ but was told they couldn’t defend her against a public candidate and lose their nonprofit status.
What kills me is that we need to hold our candidates to a higher standard than the current President (we should) but end up shooting ourselves in the foot when we do.
Does this change your support for Biden? Do you just write this off as a desperate attempt by “Bernie Bros” to undermine Biden and revive their campaign?? I’m not really sure, but I do know that if Joe Biden is still on the ballot in November, I’m voting for him.
