Published 5 years, 11 months ago
Description
After weeks of stories in conservative social media outlets about Tara Reade’s sexual assault claim against presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden – and after weeks of deafening silence from the Progressive Left and specifically the, MeToo movement, now, only after the story’s become a thundering echo in the canyons of social media, are we starting to hear the voices of the Uber-Left questioning the issue.
This morning, Joe Biden, in a typical Friday “document dump” fashion, went on MSNBC to deny the allegations leveled against him by Tara Reade.

After weeks of stories in conservative social media outlets about Tara Reade’s sexual assault claim against presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden – and after weeks of deafening silence from the Progressive Left and specifically the #MeToo movement, now, only after the story’s become a thundering echo in the canyons of social media, are we starting to hear the voices of the Uber-Left questioning the issue.
This morning, Joe Biden, in a typical Friday “document dump” fashion, went on MSNBC to deny the allegations leveled against him by Tara Reade. A document dump is an exercise where politicians feeling heat on an issue either make curt, generic denials or provide so much information that no immediate answer can be divined.
(CLIP 1)
Reade filed a lawsuit earlier this month claiming Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993. As reported at NPR.org (hardly a conservative outlet:
“When Reade met up with the senator, she said, he pinned her up against a wall and penetrated her vagina with his fingers...‘His hands went underneath my clothing and he was touching me in my private areas and without my consent,’ Reade told NPR. She said Biden asked her whether she wanted to go somewhere else...Reade said that she pulled away and that Biden pointed his finger at her and said, ‘You're nothing to me, nothing.’”
Reade’s lawsuit comes after years of blowing the whistle on Biden. Reade quite publicly accused Biden of inappropriate touching over a year ago and just recently a 1993 clip from Larry King Live surfaced that document’s Reade’s Mother exposing Mr. Biden for his actions. Reade’s efforts to get the media interested in the story has come to the point of almost begging. Hardly what the #MeToo movement was supposed to be about.
But it isn’t just one person calling Biden out; it isn’t just Reade. As The Washington Times reported on April 12, 2020:
“Biden’s conduct towards women first came under scrutiny just before he announced his presidential campaign last spring. Eight women, including Reade, came forward with allegations that the former Vice President made them feel uncomfortable with inappropriate physical displays of affection...Biden acknowledged the complaints and promised to ‘be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future.’”
Nevertheless, Biden took to MSNBC this morning (remember that document dump thing I was talking about?) to issue his denial. He tantamount to said the accusation was insane. Bear with me, this clip is long...and disturbing:
(Clip 2)
His insistence on a few points presents questions and opportunities for some eyebrow-raising.
Biden kept insisting that he, nor anyone to his knowledge (a very lawyerly use of words), had any knowledge of a complaint being filed. He said it over and over again. In the end, that doesn’t mean squat. A US Senator is not someone who handles day-to-days in the office, no matter if it’s the DC office or the many home offices. His Chief of Staff may have a cursory knowledge of what is
