Biden supporters face #MeToo reckoning after sexual assault accusation emerges
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/27/2020

Posted on 03/27/2020 8:59:56 AM PDT by Liberty7732

When it came to the fate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a credible sexual assault allegation alone, even absent any evidence or corroboration, was enough for most Democrats to cry “believe women” and demand the Senate reject Kavanaugh’s nomination. Now that it’s Joe Biden who faces a similar sexual assault allegation, Democrats must hold their party's presumptive nominee to the same standard — or reveal themselves as cynical hypocrites once and for all.

A former Biden staffer who worked in his Senate offices in the early 1990s, Tara Reade, has come forward to accuse him of sexually assaulting her in 1993, as reported by Reason’s Robby Soave. Reade claims that Biden forcibly kissed her and reached into her pants to penetrate her while pushing her against a wall. She says fear of retaliation kept her from speaking out until now.

Of course, conservatives for consistency’s sake must insist that Biden deserves fair due process, and allegations alone are not sufficient evidence to brand a man a sexual assaulter and torpedo his reputation and career. But for Biden’s most prominent Democratic supporters, they’re in quite a tough bind due to the deeply illiberal, guilty-by-accusation precedent they set during the Kavanaugh affair.

Assault accusations don't conveniently "emerge".

Biden is being "denounced", one highly suspects.

The Dem voters who went to the primaries, listened the debates, and chose their person had (and still have) no idea that they have little part in their selection process.

Believe me. The Democrats aren’t going to sit by and let Biden be the nominee.

The movers and shakers in the DNC have decided Joe will lose. This is a political assassination of Joe to make way for Cuomo and Bernie gets screwed again.

won’t go anywhere (UNLESS the msm don’t want biden as front runner)- it was 30 years ago practically, and the media will destroy her for not reporting it back then- she doesn’t stand a chance against the msm-

The MSM are shameless scum- they demand we believe women who accuse Trump but that we ignore women who accuse clinton, biden and others-

Of course it won’t go anywhere. But the allegation is more credible than anything against Justice Kavanaugh.

From Reason:

https://reason.com/2020/03/26/joe-biden-tara-reade-sexual-assault-me-too-believe-women/

Reade had already complained to her bosses about sexual harassment in Biden’s office—she said a supervisor had once asked her to serve drinks at an event because she had attractive legs—but had shared the more serious accusation against Biden with a few close confidants. She said she once tried to talk to a supervisor about what had happened, but this person shut her down before she could tell the whole story. She also said she filled out an official form detailing her assault, but does not know what became of it.

Can you imagine how hard the media wing of the democrat party would have worked to track down this information if Biden was a Republican?
