In 2018, at the top of Supreme Court docket Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s affirmation struggle, previous Vice President Joe Biden designed headlines when he asserted that a woman’s community statements of sexual assault need to be presumed to be true.

Biden had been dragged into the make any difference owing to similarities in between Kavanaugh’s confirmation struggle and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ 1991 affirmation hearings, all through which Biden was an integral determine. Biden was Senate Judiciary chairman at the time and had presided about the hearings, which famously highlighted a sexual assault allegation in opposition to Thomas by a former colleague, Anita Hill.

“Oh, I believed she was telling the truth of the matter at the starting,” Biden explained of Hill just about two decades later. “I truly did.”

“For a female to come forward in the obvious lights of target, nationally, you’ve got bought to get started off with the presumption that at minimum the essence of what she’s speaking about is true, no matter if or not she forgets information, no matter if or not it truly is been designed even worse or better in excess of time,” he added in an interview with the Washington Publish.

Now all those terms may well come back to haunt the existing front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, as he has been publicly accused of sexual assault by previous workers assistant Tara Reade.

The allegations have been out there all along, we are only hearing about them now because the democrat party has realized what liability Biden is and are trying to kneecap him and replace him with Cuomo at the convention.

Thanks, that is the best picture of her, yet.

In others, she looks a little Andre the Giantish.

ABC local?

Were this Trump or another prominent Republican... it’d be 24/7 on EVERY front page and opening story on every show in America.

“CAMPAIGNED ROCKED”

“VOTERS DEMAND ANSWERS”

Where are all the ‘beleive the woman’ folks?

crickets

Isn’t the seriousness of the allegation the important thing? We presume the man is guilty. Woman always tell the truth. It’s a credible story.

Weeks of that for the Republican.

Nothing for Joe?

this just believing people because they say something isn’t a good lawful precedent. it’s heresay.

this is not how a true justice system works. women know this as well, they are just trying to benefit from it because only they get this exception.

. . . Drudge isn’t even covering it.

The Drudge Report had buried the Biden rape charge headline way down in the middle column earlier today--but now the link is completely gone.

The left-wing bought out Mr. Drudge quite a while ago.

Now the website tries to nudge the public leftward with its selection of links.

The crazed leftist webmasters play the Drudge Report like a broke-back piano.

He skipped a lot of English Comp classes, for years.

This is either Bernie or the DNC. I suspect the DNC. If it were Bernie, ABC wouldn’t be repeating it.

The other possibility is that Biden’s people are trying to get this out of the way when noone cares because of bigger events — kind of the Clinton Gennifer Flowers “its an old story” approach.

I knew from the get go #metoo (or is it #meTOOL ?) is a bunch of BS. Otherwise, aside from Groping Joe, they would consider the exploits of those wild wild Kennedy boys. Perhaps it’s time to re evaluate the love affair with the Kennedy mystique (mistake). Before another Confederate statue is removed the RFK Bridge should revert back to the Triboro, and there’s an airport in Queens, a gov’t center in Boston a performing arts center and outdated football stadium in DC, plus many highways, byways, bridges, schools, etc that need to be renamed.

It’s gibberish. This blog is bizarre but keeps getting posted on FR. The person posting it is either not reading it or is someone from DU trying to make FR look like a bunch of idiots who will believe any gibberish as long as it criticizes Biden.

Biden, according to the victim’s account, said,”C’mon, man!”

In the story it reads,”C’mon, gentleman.”

No way something as bizarre as this garbage article is published without some oversight. My theory is the station editor is some foreigner or common core English speaker and the editor turned the story to garbage.

Thing about affirmative action hires, you can’t fire them. Instant lawsuit.
