Believe Tara Reade but vote for Joe Biden anyway, says The New York Times
“Suck it up and make the utilitarian bargain,” writes Linda Hirshman in the op ed page of today’s The New York Times. She’s talking, of course, about Joe Biden.
Joe Biden, long term senator, Vice President under Barack Obama, was no one’s top choice to be this year’s Democratic Presidential nominee. To top it off, there’s mounting witness testimony that he behaved inappropriately and non-consensually with staffer Tara Reade back in 1993.
So why is feminist, female-forward author Linda Hirshman saying that we should all hold our collective noses and vote Joe? For the good of the nation, of course. “I’ll take one for the team,” she writes. “I believe Ms. Reade, and I’ll vote for Mr. Biden this fall.”
This sentiment is cropping up among Democratic-voting women across the nation, and the hypocrisy is so blatant and transparent that every conservative news outlet in North America has pointed it out with ease. There is no nuance to this hypocrisy—it doesn’t need to be spelled out for anyone; it is obvious and apparent; it is undeniable.
Joe Biden has been accused of sexual assault. According to the dictates of Democratic progressivism, this means he should be cancelled. Leftists instead tell us they are going to vote him into the highest executive office in the US, and not cancel him. There is no greater WTF moment than this one.
The women who are backing Joe are, in many countless cases, the same exact women who opted for cancelling men who were accused of far less crimes than—checks notes—sexual assault. From Nancy Pelosi to Gretchen Whitmer to Amy Klobuchar, they have all moved on from “believe all women” to “believe some women” in a blink of an eye. The “Me Too” brigade has revealed themselves to be a bunch of cynical, political operatives. It was always the case; it’s just clear as day now.
