According to Reade, Biden pressed her up against a wall and digitally penetrated her without her consent. “It happened all at once, and then… his hands were on me and underneath my clothes,” she says. She also remembers him asking “do you want to go somewhere else?” and then, when she had pulled away, “Come on, man, I heard you liked me.” Reade says that “everything shattered” in that moment and his claim that he thought she liked him made her feel like she had “done this” somehow. “I looked up to him, he was my father’s age. He was this champion of women’s rights in my eyes,” she says. “I wanted to be a senator; I didn’t want to sleep with one.”

Following her accusations against Biden, reports from Ryan Grim at The Intercept detailed all the ways Reade was stonewalled in telling her story — including from Time’s Up, the high-profile organization founded to help survivors tell their stories in the midst of the #MeToo movement, which is housed within the National Women’s Law Center. According to Grim’s reporting, Reade asked for help from the organization in January of this year, but she was told they could not help her because it would jeopardize their non-profit status due to the fact that he was a presidential candidate.

Reade’s accusation has opened up discourse on social media about why the mainstream media is ignoring the story. “I don’t understand why the extremely serious sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden are not getting significant attention outside of left media,” tweeted Vox Senior Correspondent Zack Beauchamp.

Accusation against a Republican: Must be believed.
Accusation against a Democrat: What a tramp! Amazing what you can snag when you drag a $100 bill through a trailer park.

When this stuff happens-why do these women wait years to make ‘allegations’? I mean, seriously.

I am not going to defend Joe, but if some bimbo tried that kind of stunt with my brother, or some other male I cared about, I’d have to wonder.

These ‘me too’ clowns have so muddied the waters that they did themselves no good.

Women never lie about such things.

Mr. Biden, President Obama is on the line: “Oh hi Barack....Look Joe. You did a great job stopping Bernie. But its not your night. The DNC will be telling you just how you will withdraw. You’ve been a good soldier and I just know that you will do the right thing. The Party will always hold you in great esteem. Bye Joe.”
