Ex-staffer accuses #MeToo supporter Joe Biden of sexual assault


March 27, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – An ex-Senate staffer for former Vice President Joe Biden has come forward to accuse the Democrat presidential contender of sexual assault, presenting an apparent conflict with Biden’s own public declarations that sexual misconduct claims from women should be generally met with the presumption of truth.

Tara Reade detailed her story this week in interviews on Hill TV and the Katie Halper Show, Law & Crime reports. She says that in 1993, then-Senator Biden assaulted her in a “semi-private” stairwell on Capitol Hill.

Law & Crime notes that Reade was one of eight women who accused Biden of inappropriate, unwanted touching in early 2019 (a notorious habit of the former vice president’s, which has often been captured on video). Reade says she did not share the full scope of her story at the time partly because she feared retaliation, and partly because the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund ultimately decided not to pursue the case because a suit against a presidential candidate could have risked the group’s nonprofit status.

So far, the Biden campaign has not responded to Reade’s allegations.

Biden actually did what Trump bragged about.

Is it your point Biden gets a pass allegedly violating a woman who worked for him?

Do you know why times up legal defense fund didn't take the case further? Or why this is being raised again given she's one of the people that accused him last year?

Also...
"presenting an apparent conflict with Biden’s own public declarations that sexual misconduct claims from women should be generally met with the presumption of truth."

What now? What conflict? Has Biden said it shouldn't be investigated?

Our new Supreme Court Justice was accused of worse. The defining word is Accused but without evidence, we can't know if it's true or not.

Notice the article title. Joe Biden came out in support of the #METOO. Meaning he believes in principle his own accuser is truthful until proven false.

Weird. I wonder why. What do you think the fact no other law firm was wiling to take the case signifies?

I have a hunch. Joe Biden is a Democrat and Reade works for Bernie.

???

When did he do that?

What's yer point?

How is Joe a better choice?

Man, Barack is looking more and more legit all the time. Not a good President but at least he didn't assault women.

Well not women. Yet the man who accused Obama failed a lie detector test.

No response from the Biden campaign. Media won’t follow up and this will go away.


Edit: they responded today:

Biden campaign adamantly denies allegation of sexual assault

 

[redleghunter]

Perhaps Joe just forgot. I would believe that.

So would I, but you guys do like ancient politicians, so it's par for the course.

Biden has a long well-known history of repeatedly violating the personal boundaries of others, including skinny-dipping in the presence of female SS. I don't find these charges implausible.

 

[Hazelelponi]

While Biden may have agreed to the principle of guilty until proven innocent - to garner more votes I'm sure - I'm against the concept 100%, even in Biden's case where it might seem plausible since he is creepy around women...

 

[Mountainmanbob]

Biden's case where it might seem plausible since he is creepy around women...



It is beyond me why some of these women don't stand up to these men and slap them then and there. I would, I did it to one of my co-workers who once got creepy with me.

Employers freak at the thought of a potential lawsuit, I think even they would prefer the offending party to get slapped.

MountainLady is looking good and I wouldn't want Biden anywhere close to her. I've seen videos of him kissing and touching people improperly.

His memory is what really concerns me. He probably doesn't even remember where his hands or lips have been????

Yeah he breaks personal space constantly, I find him utterly creepy.

His memory doesn't help matters, your right.

Put a mask and thick gloves on that guy.

We actually dont know. Bill Cosby's victims didnt accuse him until later on in his life when he was old.
