Rose McGowan is standing behind Joe Biden assault accuser Tara Reade after a clip of "Larry King Live" from 1993 resurfaced Friday and appears to include her mother alluding to "problems" her daughter faced while working as a staffer for the then-U.S. senator from Delaware.
The actress-turned-activist took to Twitter shortly after the clip went viral Friday night. The controversy also spawned the hashtag #DropOutBiden, which was trending on the social media platform into Saturday.
"TARA READE IS TELLING THE TRUTH," McGowan, who boasts 925,000 followers, wrote Friday.
McGowan, a victim of disgraced movie mogul and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein, slammed Alyssa Milano earlier this month for her continued support of Biden amid the newly surfaced sexual assault accusation.
McGowan ripped Milano for being "a fraud" and called out her former "Charmed" co-star for inconsistency based on her past advocacy against the Supreme Court nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh after he was accused of sexual misconduct.
This is about holding the media accountable. You go after Trump & Kavanaugh saying Believe Victims, you are a lie. You have always been a lie. The corrupt DNC is in on the smear job of Tara Reade, so are you. SHAME," McGowan blasted the actress.
McGowan further stood up for Reade nearly two weeks ago when she slammed The Washington Post for one of its articles headlined "Sexual assault allegation by former Biden Senate aide emerges in campaign, draws denial."
McGowan made it clear she felt the article didn't do Reade justice, calling it a "hit piece" that involved "victim shaming."
“As a survivor, the way you launched into this woman’s assault is truly vile,” McGowan added. “Your motto is ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ well I guess it’s dead because you are dark. Evil lives and it loves the DNC [Democratic National Committee].”

That’s just Gropin’ Joe being Gropin’ Joe.
So Joe just being himself as usual. This was 27 years ago. Does anyone actually think this was a one time thing?
Biden has always been a predator perv.
The dems are boxed in. They either show themselves to be total hypocrites after the “Me Too” thing they did or they tell Joe to retire quietly and run Bernie.
Yeah, and that’s the problem right there
This is getting legs.
Groping Joe’s dementia might not be his biggest problem.
It’s nice to know there really are a handfill of liberals out there whose beliefs are internally consistent and who are not afraid to call their compatriots out over their double-standards.
He could have done that to Chris Coons homely little daughter on national TV and Coons would have still stood there smiling ear-to-ear
(And CNN would still refuse to cover it)
CNN likes rubbing the hair on Joe's legs
Wellll,there’s always July to switch candidates....
I seem to remember lots of noise about grabbing women where Slo Joe grabbed her. If someone talks about it it’s big news, if they do it, not so much.
I agree. Joe never changed. The times did. Back then and until very recently, Democrats, as a group, really did believe that only conservatives and Republicans were capable of this sort of behavior. Of course, when they did it, it was either: a) “a failing;” b) “bimbo eruptions;” or c) “just sex.”
It wasn’t grope, grope.
“If someone talks about it it’s big news, if they do it, not so much.”
On top of that, the one who talks about it says “and they let you” whereas the one who does it couldn’t care less if they let him.
If Trump brings this up in a debate, he should also bring up the reports of Joe swimming naked while Secret Service agents (some female) were watching. Who does that? Even if he had a predilection for swimming nude, why wouldn’t he don a swimsuit around Secret Service agents?
It’s only a matter of time before other women come forward.
Steady as she goes, and prepare to launch the Cuomo!
It should be a Tidal wave - Hopefully these women are treated better than the brave souls who came forward to accuse Slick Willy of abuse.
See tag line:
Rose McGowan is such a sad case, among so many others. Pimped out and passed around Hollywood at an early age, told all along how talented she was, only to be kicked aside when she wasn’t young anymore. It should be a cautionary tale, but we don’t do those anymore, because the people who create our “tales” were the ones passing her around.
Look at Rose now, stuck between #orangemanbad and #metoo. I guess she’s trying to consistent and hoping another Dem candidate will emerge.
