Tara Reade says she’s leaving Democratic Party after response to Joe Biden allegations
NY Post ^ | May 9, 2020 | 12:09am | Vincent Barone

Joe Biden sex-assault accuser Tara Reade said she used to be a die-hard Barack Obama supporter — but she has left the Democratic Party after the blowback to her claims against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee.

Reade, who has accused Biden of sexually assaulting her in his Senate office in 1993, said she voted for Obama for president in 2008 and 2012 — but now feels she has no party to turn to.

“I’m leaving the Democratic Party and I won’t be part of any,” Reade said during an interview with Megyn Kelly published in its entirety Friday.

“I won’t be a Republican; it’s just not my political belief system,” she went on. “I’ve been pretty much progressive all my life…I feel politically homeless.”

Biden and his campaign have strenuously denied the alleged assault took place. Reade insists she was thrown against a wall and sexually violated by Biden when she worked as one of his staff assistants.

When asked by Kelly of a “double-standard” among Democrats, Reade said she has been “upset” and “angry” watching people like Elizabeth Warren continue to support Biden.

“I don’t really care deep down if they believe me or not … but I want other survivors to know that they can come forward,” Reade continued.

“And when they see this sort of onslaught, this sort of partisanship, it’s very discouraging.

“So we can come forward unless it’s a Democrat? Is that the message that they’re sending?” she said.

NY Post has got the right to claim “bipartisanship”.
No other major outlet has.

a disgruntled liberal who feels abandoned

all this crap happened to her so long ago and it never made her change parties or liberal beliefs

“I don’t really care deep down if they believe me or not …
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I bet deep down she really does.

Wonder which upsets her or makes her more angry, the ones who don’t believe her or the ones who do and support Biden anyway?

"...but she has left the Democratic Party after the blowback..."

Well in that case...There's nothing for me here so I will disappear

If she turns up while I'm gone please let me know.

Good idea. Send it on to Jared who tried it last time.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/10/10/trumps-debate-plan-to-seat-bill-clintons-accusers-in-family-box-was-thwarted/

And a nice little press conference will do.

If y’all haven’t seen Megyn Kelly’s interview with Reade, it’s on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HeZiKvOA0o

Watched the whole thing. I find this woman to be very credible. If she were accusing a Republican, this interview would be the lead story on every network and cable news position.

Plugs is a bad dude.

“I won’t be a Republican; it’s just not my political belief system,” she went on.

Nobody is asking you to. The guy who is currently President was voted in by voters who were to the GOP what blacks are to the Democrats. This isn't about political parties anymore, and it's too bad Kelly didn't reject this false premise.

She’s in a position to do great damage to Biden and the dems.

You join the liberals with your snark on her.

Telling it like it is, isn’t snark. Maybe you don’t like hearing it. tell me what’s incorrect about anything i said.

You just don’t like to hear the truth.

You’re the one happy to use her because it helps us in this one instance. I’d wish she’d wake up and actually see truth with clarity but from her own words I can see she hasn’t. It’s sad.

Post it as an article. I’d post it but people are getting cranky tonight if it’s not a written article. Maybe I’ll post it tomorrow if nobody else has.

She can leave the party, but what are her political views? A label doesn’t mean much. Perhaps at the voting booth and donations. But, her core views are more than that.

Nonsense! You have a political home. It's called karma.

I read somewhere she is supposedly a Bernie supporter, that she only went public against Biden after Bernie dropped out. Have no idea if it is true, or lies.
