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.

Perhaps at some point she’ll realize the ideology is as evil and perverse as the people she formerly supported.

But I think it worked like a charm when Trump brought Bubba the Rapist’s victims to one of the debates, and he should line up the victims of Plugs for those this year.

I don’t feel like Donald Trump is much of a republican at all. I think he’d successfully form his own party and win.

And she remains a “progressive.”
Progressivism is the stylish new label for that belief system in which the individual is disposable.
Tara Reade just reached the chunky core of the poison pill, and she still believes in sugar.

She’s full of crap.

She didn’t leave the Democratic Party when he molested her. She didn't leave when her complaints were ignored in the 1990s. And she didn’t leave when this loser Biden ran for VP in 2008. In fact, she still supported him.

No, she only (allegedly) left in 2020 when she came out in public about the incident and everyone in the Democratic Party has endorsed him anyway.

In other words, the incident itself never really bothered her enough to do something about it. It’s the public humiliation that did it.

Just go away, Ms. Reade. You’re a phony.

I don’t believe Joe Biden ... but I honestly don’t give a flaming sh!t about her allegations. To me, she’s like the leftist gun-grabber who got mugged on a street corner. It’s just a great case of karma.

LOL. Well ... there’s obviously at least a FEW reasons why we’re on this same website. :-)

Yeah, well, there is still the Communist Party USA for her. It is just ahead of the People’s Socialist Homo Dimocratic Party of Amerika, her former first love. No difference really. She should be happy there as her demented mind will fit in nicely. Siege heil to her first love, der fuhler, Herr Sammy Obammy.

I guess the Democratic Party will just have to limp along without her.

Trump should invite her to the debates with Plugs.

And the Democrats will invite Jessica Drake, Jennifer Murphy, Karen Johnson, Cassandra Searles, Tasha Dixon, and all the other women who have charged Trump with sexual misconduct over the years, and have the "Access Hollywood" tape playing in the background.

The Democrats haven't forgotten 2016. They're ready for it.

Come on over and join up with we “Repubicans!”

No one’s going to blame you Tara, but you should have made this move 20 years ago.

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

————————

Look sweetheart. They DO believe you. They just don’t care.

Democrats would vote for a senile, demented, creepy old pervert who molests little girls before they would vote for Trump.

And that’s exactly what they are doing.

Through this ordeal she’s been treated civilly and respectfully by conservatives, and like trash by the libs. I wonder at what point she realized that she has wasted decades of her life supporting the wrong party.
