Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez addressed the accusation of sexual assault against the party's presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden, comparing the controversy to another that dogged the party's 2016 candidate Hillary Clinton, which some in the party believe contributed to her defeat in that year's election.
"This is like the Hillary emails, because there was nothing there," Perez told ABC's "This Week" referring to the former secretary of state's criticized use of a private email server as he addressed an allegation of sexual assault from Tara Reade, a former staffer who served in Biden’s Washington Senate office for a brief period in 1993. Biden has denied the assault occurred.
In defending the former vice president, Perez cited the "exhaustive" review of Biden conducted by the 2008 Barack Obama presidential campaign, which the party chair said did not uncover such an accusation or else the senator from Delaware would not have been selected to join that year's ticket.
"The most comprehensive investigation of the vice president was when he was vetted by Barack Obama in 2008. I'm very familiar with vice presidential vetting process," said Perez, who was himself considered for the role by Clinton. "They look at everything about you. They looked at the entire history of Joe Biden, his entire career, and I will tell you, if Barack Obama had any indication that there was an issue, Barack Obama would not have had him as his vice president."

Thanks for reminding us. A lot of the public had forgotten about Hillary’s emails. I wonder if those things will become a hot topic later this year?
“Hillary emails, because there was nothing there,”
She literally destroyed the evidence.
Huh... somebody have Tom Perez’ words on the Kavenaugh accusations?
Sounds more like the Benghazi terrorist attack that Hillary blamed on a patsy filmmaker they censored and threw in prison.
Considering that both Hillary and Biden are guilty does make them similar...
Perez is a bag of crap with a hole in it.
Hillary injected some bleach bit
LOL. Right. Perez expects us to believe that horse manure?
Perez is a skell
This is more like Senator Obama’s toast to an Islamic terrorist on video that the LA Times has, and has viewed, but has not released because they say it is private.
If you can’t view it, it’s as good as if it doesn’t exist. CNN is hiding evidence.
Biden has denied the assault occurred. ...................... That’s all the proof the Democrats need. He’s innocent, and the Media shills will cover it.
Tom Perez is a male Debbie Wasserman Schultz without the mayonnaise hair but equal brilliance! Open mouth, insert foot, CHEW!
I guess this means the Democrat establishment supports the Groper and won’t try to replace him.
“DNC Chair Tom Perez compares Biden sexual assault allegation to ‘Hillary emails’”
I thought he supported Biden?
the obama sides of the DNC is fighting the Hillary side.
A criminal act covered by the left and their media.. yeah, he’s right.. they are indeed comparable.
Then he’s toast.
There are a lot of similarities. They are both old and white. Both have health issues and likely brain damage,too.
Posted already, "thanks for reminding us of her crimes"
