Biden supporters face #MeToo reckoning after sexual assault accusation emerges
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/27/2020

Posted on 03/27/2020 8:59:56 AM PDT by Liberty7732

When it came to the fate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a credible sexual assault allegation alone, even absent any evidence or corroboration, was enough for most Democrats to cry “believe women” and demand the Senate reject Kavanaugh’s nomination. Now that it’s Joe Biden who faces a similar sexual assault allegation, Democrats must hold their party's presumptive nominee to the same standard — or reveal themselves as cynical hypocrites once and for all.

A former Biden staffer who worked in his Senate offices in the early 1990s, Tara Reade, has come forward to accuse him of sexually assaulting her in 1993, as reported by Reason’s Robby Soave. Reade claims that Biden forcibly kissed her and reached into her pants to penetrate her while pushing her against a wall. She says fear of retaliation kept her from speaking out until now.

Of course, conservatives for consistency’s sake must insist that Biden deserves fair due process, and allegations alone are not sufficient evidence to brand a man a sexual assaulter and torpedo his reputation and career. But for Biden’s most prominent Democratic supporters, they’re in quite a tough bind due to the deeply illiberal, guilty-by-accusation precedent they set during the Kavanaugh affair.

Maybe she mistook him for Corn Pop.

Did this happen behind the Barn?

Maybe Biden thinks this is how you Arm Wrestle.

Did he make her do Pushups too?

I’m done, for now...

Biden gets knocked out, and the next man up is Gov. Cuomo.

if the MSM finally decides to run with this story, it's because they've given up on Biden and want him out of the way so Cuomo can take the nomination in some rigged process that will screw Sanders again.

If they think Biden still has a chance, this story will stay buried.

Barney fell apart like a made in Wuhan Walmart shirt.

Go back to your mommy’s basement, jerks

The Dems know what they now must do...

Because keeping the senile geezer quiet and in the box isn't working.

In a fair world, at the next debate Bernie would crush Biden with this new evidence. Then Bernie would go on to sweep the rest of the primaries.

No way would the DNC allow that. They’ll cancel the debate and the remaining primaries first. It’s a national emergency, dontcha know?

It was her own fault. She petted the hair on his legs.
