... Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer told CNN that she dismisses allegations of sexual assault against Joe Biden, saying "there is not a pattern" of abuse with Biden. When asked by CNN anchor Jake Tapper whether this position was hypocritical considering how Democrats treated similar allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Wittmer said: "not every claim is equal."
JAKE TAPPER, CNN: You said you believe Vice President Biden. I want to compare that to 2018 when you said you believed Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford after she accused now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh of assault.(snip)
GOV. GRETCHEN WHITMER: Jake, as a survivor, and as a feminist, I'll say this. We need to give people an opportunity to tell their story. Then we have a duty to vet it. And just because you're a survivor doesn't mean that every claim is equal. It means we give them the ability to make their case. And the other side as well. And then to make a judgment that is informed. I have read a lot about this current allegation. I know joe biden. And I've watched his defense. And there's not a pattern that goes into this. And I think for these reasons, I'm very comfortable that joe biden is who he says he is. He's -- and you know what, that's all I'm going to say about it. I really resent the fact that every time a case comes up, all of us survivors have to weigh in. It is reopening wounds and it is -- you know take us at our word, ask us for our opinion and let's move on.
TAPPER: Just for the record, the reason I'm asking you is you're the only democrat on the show today, not because you're a survivor and not because you're a woman.

Democrats know how to play this game. It’s a setup, an innocculation against coming attacks and the Biden said videos. Tara Reade is a Democrat staffer who said nothing when Biden ran with Obama twice.
Wretchen Whitmer has two daughters. Have them wash their hair, put on nice dresses, and leave them in a closed room with Biden for 1/2 hour.
Then she’ll have her pattern of behavior.
Yeah but it’s not just this is it? The man has obvious dementia symptoms and getting worse. The Burisma is still out there along the Ukraine PqP then he’s got China baggage which
hasn’t been touched yet. Unless the MSM can use the Virus to completely dominate the news cycle for the next 4 months Trump can and will use them.
“...Jake, as a survivor...”
He has a long history of being a pervert so what on earth is she on about.
They aren’t talking to us, they know we won’t vote for them anyway. This is all about keeping Democrats in line, wake up. Why didn’t Reade speak up when Biden ran twice with Obama? Why does she say her complaint doesn’t even mention the sex part? You are being played.
Jugs Whitmer.
Not all claims are equal...of course they aren’t you ignorant shameless demonrat...
“not every claim is the same” indeed that is true, some are against Republicans and some are against Democrats and that makes a 100% difference in how they are received.
>>> It’s just amazing how Democrat women enable their predator men. <<<
More Democrat women, esp. those in the public eyes like politicians and tv personalities, have few achievement they own.
They owe their celebrity status because mostly married to, are daughters/family members of, or being “sponsored” by famous male and/or male relatives.
What happened to they all deserve to be bekieved?
She’s got a point. The charges against Biden are far more credible.

Okay, time for another labor-saving acronym.
Politicians, you can save space on your index cards and keystrokes on teleprompter readouts. Journalists, you can speed up your note-taking, save space on your printed copy by using BTID.
Here's how it works: if you supported a position that's now become uncomfortable, use BTID ("but this is different").
"I used to say you should always believe the woman, BTID"
"I know it's contrary to the Constitution, BTID"
" We know we reported on the ______ scandal during the last election, BTID"
Why waste time with tortured explanations and long-winded rationalizations? We already know you're hypocrites, why waste the effort?
BTID
I wrote this but I didn't take it far enough - instead of replacing one phrase with an acronym we could omit the entire speech, since it's the same one every woman Democrat has given since last week.
If you want to get the message across, ladies, Nina Burleigh said it best.
Google it.
Brainless Tits Whitmer is flapping her gums, telling lies once again?
So what else is new?
The Tara Reade allegations are kind of pathetic. Is it by design?
