Biden camp reportedly pushing NY Times report in 'talking points' to combat Tara Reade claims
Fox News ^ | April 29 2020 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

The Biden campaign reportedly is relying on a New York Times report in talking points being circulated to combat the explosive sexual assault allegation made by the candidate's former Senate staffer, Tara Reade.

BuzzFeed News reported on Tuesday that despite strong denials the campaign has issued to various media outlets, aides for former Vice President Joe Biden are taking Reade "seriously enough behind the scenes to coordinate messaging among other Democrats to try to cast the matter as one that’s been thoroughly vetted and determined to be unfounded."

The "talking points" reportedly read, “Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly reviewed In this case, a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.”

Oh, well if the NY Times ‘investigated’ then I guess that settles it...

"Sir, did you do what Ms. Reade alleges?"

"The New York Times says I didn't, and that's gooed enough for me".

Just a thought—what if Tara Reade is a DNC operative? What if she’s the “insurance policy” to get Slow Joe out of the race? What if the media denials and deflections are all part of the plan to make it look more realistic?
Not saying that the assault didn’t happen, but the event may have been kept aside until now to replace him on the ticket.

I caught the start of the Harf-wit, Marie, defending Biden last night. She emphasized that Reade’s “story has changed” over the decades. This itself is spin, since the story never changed, only that her willingness to tell it to the media has changed.

Thus the spin from Harf-wit is that Reade is a liar. What it really means is that Harf is the liar. I suspect, though, that this will become the Swamp media defense based on the Democrat talking point orders.

So Biden is opting for the “sluts and nuts” defense (the Clinton playbook)

How soon before they tell everyone what happens when you drag a dollar bill through a trailer park?

Odd that not a single Democrat cared that Ford’s allegations against Kavanaugh were, at best, inconsistent and at worst the evidence was non-existent. They didn’t care that he testimony evolved while she was before the Senate committee. The members of the committee even went out and made up their own evidence. Vastily different way of handling sexual assault allegations.

I’m sure they investigated it just as thoroughly as they investigated Biden’s ties to Burisma.
