A former neighbor of Joe Biden's accuser Tara Reade has come forward to corroborate her sexual-assault account, saying Reade discussed the allegations in detail in the mid-1990s

Joe Biden's former staffer, Tara Reade, says the former Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee assaulted her in 1993. Reade's congressional ID is pictured at right.

Tara Reade, a former staffer in Joe Biden's Senate office, has accused the Democratic presidential nominee of sexually assaulting her in a congressional hallway in 1993.

Now Reade's former neighbor Lynda LaCasse, a Biden supporter, tells Insider that Reade told her about the alleged assault in detail in 1995 or 1996: "This happened, and I know it did because I remember talking about it."

A former colleague of Reade's also told Insider that Reade talked in the mid-1990s of being sexually harassed by her former boss in Washington, DC.

The women have come forward just days after video emerged of a woman that Reade says is her mother calling into CNN's Larry King Live in 1993 to talk about her daughter's "problems" with a prominent senator.

Biden has not addressed the accusations, but a campaign spokesperson says they are false.

Don’t care. No 911 call no assault. Normal humans call the cops when they’ve been assaulted. Everyone else, is making it up. I don’t care who the accused is.

Some women are afraid to come forward especially against someone so powerful.

Can we please keep gathering info on this but keep what we find under wraps until October?

Why? When has an October surprise ever worked?

It didn't work against Reagan in 1980.

It didn't work against GWB in 2000.

It didn't work against Trump in 2016.

“I’d rather JB is the candidate at the end...”

Gosh, please don’t say that in Illinois - we’ve got the biggest JB known to man, and he’d be 400 pounds of waddling disaster if he ever got near the White House.

Don’t care. Call the cops or suffer your disgrace in silence. Women need to get a clue how the world works. No special privileges.

Fox does a great timeline between Kavanaugh and Reade.

But the friend corroborating the allegations against Biden will vote for Biden. She says she will.

A May surprise might keep Sleepy Joe from getting the nomination.

At a minimum, I think a live televised circus trial in front of a senatorial committee is in order. We need to see Sniffer Joe stumble and bumble under the stress of interrogation. I know he will not acquit himself 1/10th as well as Justice Kavanaugh, but at least Alyssa Milano will be behind him cheering instead of sneering.

He will still get the nomination. But having this out now will make people reluctant to campaign for him. If they do they’ll have to answer questions about Tara.

If this ever goes to court Biden has a great defense. He’s one of the few people who can honestly say “ I don’t remember.” Not only about this but most things.

The charges coming out now can make Biden clearly nonviable, and Bernie can swoop in.

That's your error. The Dems will NEVER let Bernie get the nomination. Haven't you been paying attention? Every step since before Super Tuesday was for the expressed purpose of denying Sanders the nomination. He's the nonviable one.

Getting Biden to drop out will issue in the "Torricelli" candidate who will replace Joe after he's nominated so the replacement has no party unchallenger leading up to Election Day. Don't know if that's Hillary, Moochelle, Warren, Cuomo or somebody else but the Dems are going to pull the rug out from Biden somehow and hand the nomination to their cherry-picked replacement.

Remember what the Dems said during impeachment. "This election is too important to leave up to the voters."

“Dems wising up, it’ll be Mooch who’ll claim she won’t debate Trump because of his racism. You heard it hear first”.

That would not surprise me one bit. The Dems and their allies in the Media are capable of anything and we can’t put anything past them.

Just to be clear, Biden said the accuser "should be given the benefit of the doubt."

Stealth candidates are dangerous.

Due to coronavirus they'll announce their candidate in October.
