Biden denies former staffer’s sexual assault allegation

Joe Biden denied a former Senate staffer’s allegation of sexual assault on Friday, saying “this never happened.”

It’s the presumptive Democratic nominee’s first public comment on an accusation of sexual assault by his former Senate staffer, Tara Reade.

“I’m saying unequivocally, it never, never happened,” Biden said in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Biden said he will ask the National Archives to determine whether there is any record of such a complaint being filed.

“The former staffer has said she filed a complaint back in 1993,” Biden said. “But she does not have a record of this alleged complaint. The papers from my Senate years that I donated to the University of Delaware do not contain personnel files.”

Biden said, “There is only one place a complaint of this kind could be – the National Archives. The National Archives is where the records are kept.”

She said she didn’t file a complaint. But you know, whatever a Dem say IS THE TRUTH TO THE MEDIA AND THEIR MINIONS!

Well, Biden says he’s innocent, so that’s the end of it. The whole Tara Reade claim has been debunked. That’s what every Dem will be saying now every time the subject is brought up.

To be fair, I don’t think he can remember what he had for breakfast this morning, much less what happened 27 years ago.

“The former staffer has said she filed a complaint back in 1993,” Biden said. “But she does not have a record of this alleged complaint. The papers from my Senate years that I donated to the University of Delaware do not contain personnel files.”

Translation: "We destroyed the paperwork for that complaint before we gave my papers to the University of Delaware".

I never finger-banged that dame. I did carry on a years’ long steaming affair with Barbara Walters, with whips and chains and industrial-sized whipped cream canisters! Then she died. Sob. Just couldn’t keep up with me. It’s lucky that Jill never found out about it. Oops.

Actually he meant to all, “any longer” to this: The papers from my Senate years that I donated to the University of Delaware do not contain personnel files.”

Seems his staff people were in the University vault going over all those records a few months ago. I wonder if one was Sandy Burger. You know Sandy, he goes in weighing 150lbs. Comes out weighing 225.

Doesn’t two negatives create a positive?

Tara Reade married Ted Dorman in Grand Forks, ND on Dec 22, 1994. Ted was a Legislative Assistant in Washington, D.C. to U.S. Senator Kent Conrad, who recently endorsed Joe Biden.

Ted's brother and mother were the witnesses for their marriage.

Reportedly, Biden said this during the attacks on Kavanaugh:

“For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time. But nobody fails to understand that this is like jumping into a cauldron.”

Can anyone verify if Biden said this?

Pinging a few who might know. TIA

Speaking generally, Biden added, “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time.
