Democratic leaders in Congress continued on Sunday to remain quiet on the sexual assault allegations leveled against their party’s presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden, even as anger over the accusations mounted from the party’s more progressive wing.
Neither House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., nor Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., have made any public comment about the allegations by Tara Reade, a staffer for Biden in 1993, that the then-senator from Delaware sexually assaulted her.
Pelosi and Schumer’s offices did not return Fox News request for comment.
There is growing anger from both progressive Democrats and supporters of the #MeToo movement about the lack of response from Democratic leaders toward the allegations. The hashtag #dropoutbiden was trending on Twitter on Sunday - until it was allegedly removed - and many supporters for former Democratic presidential primary hopeful Bernie Sanders are calling on Biden to suspend his campaign for the White House.
Nick Brana, Sanders’ former national outreach coordinator, tweeted over the weekend that the Democratic National Committee should either force Biden to drop out or “admit that suppressing progressives is the true purpose of your party.”

fox news, oann rush etc should be all over this story constantly- don’t let up- saturate the airwaves with it- like the left did to President Trump, Kavanaugh etc-
The problem is the right doesn’t have a loud enough voice- and doesn’t fight as hard as the left does- The left control the narrative because they dominate the msm
Maybe pulling the switcheroo on Biden won’t be so easy for the RATS. The Deep State should of run their preferred candidate in the primaries instead of dragging Slow Grope Joe to the nomination. Covid-19 and the shutdown of the country have Democrat fingerprints all over it, and the election is the reason!
She’s still alive?
CNN already got google to remove the video..the commie media has to protect Biden since he is their only chance of beating Trump..they know that crazy commie Bernie has zero chance..the commie media IS the DNC, they do whatever the DNC tells them to do so if they say stay quiet that is what they will do
#Metoo?
Brett Michael Kavanaugh?
“I think they should do an FBI investigation. We did that for Anita Hill, most importantly, Anita Hill was vilified when she came forward by a lot of my colleagues, character assassination. I wish I could’ve done more to prevent those questions and the way they asked them.”
—Biden in 2018
“should be given the benefit of the doubt.”
— Biden, 2018, on sexual accusations against Kavanaugh
from the FRchives:
Virtue signaling convinces the left of its own unimpeachable morals. When push comes to shove, it rejects guilt for any of its wrongdoing and attributes such allegations to conspiracy theories.
Peter Daou, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, tweeted on Monday that Ford will be "attacked, smeared, and demonized" and that people must "BELIEVE WOMEN."
Revenge of the Progressives: The Biden Edition
Of course not, it's just minor sexual altercation. If it was anything really major, they would comment... like if Biden had killed the girl by driving her off a bridge. /sar
Their silence also means they aren’t coming to Biden’s defense. Maybe they are looking for a path to replace him.
They are not coming to Biden’s defense because from their viewpoint, sexual assault is not a sin or crime unless committed by a Republican. It is just the way a Democrat rolls. The Democrats do not believe that he did any thing that needs defending.
She was a looker back in the day...
Silly Progressives. That’s because if you’re a Democrat you don’t have to ask. It’s just assumed that she wants it.
And who might that preferred candidate be?
Maybe their preferred candidate wouldn't've survived the primaries.
Bubba did a lot worse. The only action the RATs took was an offensive against the victims. RATs are scum, the un-American party of evil.
The only question is whether the Mooch or Hilary will claw each other’s eyes out for the job?
More current.....
Yup. Here’s a column by Geller about this.
