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.

I’m not piling on.

I am making observations based on her words and what she’s doing.

You have to come to grips you’re just using her because she hurts Biden, otherwise you wouldn’t give two craps about her.

If anyone’s acting like a libtard it’s you. I’m glad she hurts Biden but it’s apparent none of what she’s been through has changed her mind politically or that’s she’s figured out some important things, or gotten true clarity.

At the end of the day, Biden has the Democrat party defending sexual assault, inappropriate interactions with a child, attacking Tara Reade.... Biden is done...he’s losing the independent voter.

Well I listened to her interview with Kelly....and Joe’s video were he spoke of this. Politics aside I’d lean toward her probably telling it like it was. Biden’s certainly got a vast history of, and still does, of no personal boundaries.

If or not she associates with any political party really isn’t of any concern or that she feels lost not having a party...obviously as soon as her story came out she wouldn’t be working in any party in the future no matter how you slice.

correct

and they are defending it

they think they look ‘right’ on it

they look incredibly shallow and hypocritical

media helps spin it their way

we’ll see who believes their spin more or sees through the libtard rationalization loopholes they are jumping through

“I find this woman to be very credible.”

Same here. Had arguments with other non-believing Freepers on some threads saying she’s not credible. One of my business partners here in Hollywood is ex-FBI and he knows by training tell-tale signs, and told me flat out she’s telling the truth. Heck, he wins at the poker table like it was natural.

The stupid thing I get is that these retarded Freepers believe Joe Biden ..

People may jump on me here, but seriously; she voted for Zero when the guy who supposedly molested and assaulted her was VP?
Something stinks.
And trust me, I’m 100% Trump and 100% anti Creepy Joe.

I think something awful happened to her in Biden’ s office. But why come out now? Just a bit odd. It’s like she has a axe to grind. Biden is a pig. It certainly could have happened.

Beautiful! The double standards really are glaring, and even though the Dems can be hypocrites most times I am surprised at how overt their hypocrisy is this time. It’s literally black-and-white hypocrisy. Clear as day, and they have no shame at how stark their hypocrisy is.

They’re akin to the communists - party is all that matters.

Yes, that is the message they are sending. Both parties (and lots of people) only see the bad in the other party. Theirs can do no wrong.

She’s a “progressive”.
I understand her dilemma. The Democrat party is also “progressive” (read “Commie”), but she recognizes (now) that they are made up of unethical sleazebags. She wants to join an ‘ethical progressive’ party. I.e., she is looking for a unicorn - for something that doesn’t exist. The “progressives” gain power by deception (by dropping the communist moniker), and by using their tried and true methods of assassination (be it real, or character assassination), and the boot on the neck. She should realize that these ‘progressives’ don’t care about the individual - just the cause.

I think she’s saying she’s not a conservative. Her “belief system” is made up of decades of brain washing. She’ll always be a liberal sucker

I agree with your friend.

It would be stupid to make up stuff like that.

And it fits right in with how what Biden does in public, even with little girls, and where it would naturally go when he is alone with a subordinate woman.

It’s amazing how entitled many dems are when they have some degree of power.
