Department of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said she's "frankly disgusted" by presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden's political shift when it comes to women who claim to have been the victims of sexual misconduct.
In a Friday interview, DeVos told me she thought Biden was a "total hypocrite" for demanding more due process in vetting accusations than he wants to provide to others.
DeVos recently announced a new and highly consequential rule change regarding sexual harassment in public schools. It came as the former vice president was defending himself from an accusation by Tara Reade, who in the early 1990s worked in Biden's Senate office and who has alleged that at the time, Biden once pushed her against the wall and penetrated her with his fingers.
Biden has denied the accusation, though multiple people have corroborated that Reade told them her story, including a former neighbor of Reade, who said she nonetheless still planned to vote for Biden in November.
Following Reade's claim, Biden has been asked about previous public statements wherein he clearly said that women who say they've been sexually abused are to be believed by default. "Look, from the very beginning, I’ve said believing women means taking the claims seriously when she steps forward and then vet it," Biden said in a TV interview on May 1. "Look into it. That’s true in this case as well."
But that's not what Biden has said in the past. What he said in 2018 about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's accuser, Christine Blasey Ford, was, “You’ve got to start out with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real."

He’s dirty. He’s inarticulate. He’s a lyin dog-faced pony soldier POS.
I’m guessing she was never planning on voting for Biden to begin with.
On the first day of President’s Trump’s re-election I hope Betsy lays out the plan for major structural change in K-12 education. Long overdue.
Why Joe Biden anyway? The Democrats act as if they can beat Donald Trump, but you can’t beat somebody with a nobody. At least not in a semi-legal and nominally fair contest.
Mail-in balloting simply does not have enough in the way of safeguards to prevent wholesale and widespread FRAUDULENT collection and enumerating of ballots. The paper trail would be littered with illegally cast ballots, innumerable duplicate ballots, simple destruction of “unwanted” or “incorrectly marked” ballots, and vast manipulations in countless county clerk offices across the country, in reporting and certifying the results.
And these results will be accepted unquestioned? This is no longer representative government, for the “vox populi” must also be the “vox veritas”.
