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.
