A former neighbor of Joe Biden's accuser Tara Reade has come forward to corroborate her sexual-assault account, saying Reade discussed the allegations in detail in the mid-1990s
Joe Biden's former staffer, Tara Reade, says the former Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee assaulted her in 1993. Reade's congressional ID is pictured at right.
Tara Reade, a former staffer in Joe Biden's Senate office, has accused the Democratic presidential nominee of sexually assaulting her in a congressional hallway in 1993.
Now Reade's former neighbor Lynda LaCasse, a Biden supporter, tells Insider that Reade told her about the alleged assault in detail in 1995 or 1996: "This happened, and I know it did because I remember talking about it."
A former colleague of Reade's also told Insider that Reade talked in the mid-1990s of being sexually harassed by her former boss in Washington, DC.
The women have come forward just days after video emerged of a woman that Reade says is her mother calling into CNN's Larry King Live in 1993 to talk about her daughter's "problems" with a prominent senator.
Biden has not addressed the accusations, but a campaign spokesperson says they are false.

It is just an example and wasn’t even my main point. My main point was to continue the story that has been going on the past month and see it to fruition. If it stops now and tries to start back up again 5 months from now that won’t be as effective.
Biden won’t lose any of the votes of the hard core Democrats for this, but the election can only be won if those voters on the fence side with him.
Biden’s toast, burnt to a crisp an don’t know it.
That is my concern. I wonder what recourse they have if he does resign from the nomination. I fear Cuomo would be more difficult to beat. The Dems know it will take one Biden/Trump debate for even the uninformed to see Biden's not able to form a logical sentence.
“...I can’t get my brain around how these people think.....”
Trying to get your brain around how these insane morons think is a futile effort.
Liberalism is a chronic, no-cure, mental disease. It slowly brings on insanity to the point of outright violence. It causes one to percieve that what’s up is down, what’s bad is good, what’s hot is cold, what’s smart is dumb, etc. etc. It brings on the polar opposite of what is sane. It’s kinda scary when one considers how many of these insane POSs actually hold govt. office.
Was Biden ever a threat to Bill Clinton’s reign?
Doesn’t matter because Trump once said the P word.
Seriously, I’d wager the DNC is the unseen hand behind this. They’ve probably decided to jettison Joe pre-convention because he’s getting more vapor-locked every day and the vision of Joe versus Trump in the debates gives them cold sweats. They can’t cite his senility and expect to keep the geezer vote, so a past sexual assault does the trick.
In place of Joe, Mike “The Package” Robinson has a much-anticipated book hitting the stands, and he would basically be a proxy for Obama’s third term. It’s him or Bernie, I don’t see where else they go.
I’m with you, Toll.
I’ve been groped, kissed, & fanny-slapped in the workplace on multiple occasions way back in the day when “boys will be boys” was the attitude, when there were NO rules against sexual harassment, complaining about it would automatically get a lady fired, and “unlawful termination” lawsuits were unheard of.
In those days we had no legal recourse and no choice *except* to fight— because if a woman suffered in silence, word got around that she liked it (the men bragged) & she’d be branded as a slut.
My response each & every incident was to scratch, fight, & holler at the top of my lungs WHILE the creep was trying to manhandle me, bringing other employees running.
No way I’d keep quiet or only cry to my mommy!! I don’t care HOW important the groper was—I’d scratch his eyes out!
And yes, in the early days I was fired on more than one occasion— and I was glad to get out of that environment.
But other times, the assaulter was fired.
By the time I was 40 (and still good looking) all I had to do was tell a groper that I would not hesitate to file a grievance if he ever touched me again.
The problem stopped right then, and word got around— don’t mess with me!
I simply do not understand these women complaining *now* about something they didn’t report in the 80s or 90s.
Especially at jobs (government, media & entertainment too) where employees have, for years, been protected by unions & rules which specifically define terms like “sexual harassment” & “hostile workplace.”
These “#metoo” women are barely into middle age, yet from the supposedly “empowered” feminist generation!
The right not to be manhandled in the workplace has been “a thing” since the 1970s.
Oh crap, that means Burisma will become irrelevant. Myth Rmoney and the other swampizens can keep on the corruption.
Without the October 2000 surprise (DUI for W), we’d never have heard of hanging chads. Gore would have lost decisively.
Moochelle and Pelosi just endorsed Biden, but when was the last time dems were embarrassed about anything?
“something they didn’t report in the 80s or 90s.”
If she had called the cops on her boss she would never get another job in the political world again. It was her word against his.
Her story has now been corroborated by about 5 people. She is telling the truth, but does it matter?
Lynda follows the herd regardless of her own knowledge of Biden's past. Weird. And troubling.
Or maybe a better analogy is... he's most definitely stepped on his "unit."
Digging further back - at a time when reporters actually tried to do a little reporting as it pertained to Democrats - it was discovered that he also lifted the work of others on a law school paper. Not to mention, he also boasted of finishing in the top half of his law school class, while actually finishing in the bottom 15%.
What you fail to understand is that the private sector took sexual harassment seriously and enforced the rules. Gov't, entertainment, etc only paid lip service to the rules while sweeping the reports under the rug.
My understanding is that Tara Reade did file a complaint, but that paper is among Joe Biden's "personal papers" in Wilmington.
Would Biden allow the public to take a look at those papers?
And the Bernie Bots will meekly bend over and take it.. again.
Part of me thinks this is all an elaborately planned long game by the dems.
It had to happen this way and with this kind of timing so enough space was created between Bernie suspending his campaign and Biden being taken down by this allegation. Had it happened quicker, Bernie would re-energize and could have caused huge problems for the party.
So all that’s left is to speculate who is going to be the chosen one. Personally I don’t think it’s Shrill or Michael Obama. I have no idea who though.
Then, there’s another side of me that thinks this all just happened and isn’t part of any scheme. Now the dems have a mess on their hands. Think about it, we give the dems far too much conspiracy credit. Idiots had the NSA, FBI, CIA, and the entire establishment working to pin an impeachable crime on Trump....and they failed miserably...twice.
No matter what, it’s pretty clear that Biden is not going to be the nominee.
She also says she still supports Biden for President.
The media won’t cover it. They have committed themselves to creating a pristine pure image of creepy joe as perfect, intelligent, moderate, etc etc.
Yet they went 24/7 non-stop with ford’s lies about Kavanaugh.
