Joe Biden, discussing sexual assault claims in early 2018, told PBS flatly, “Women should be believed.” On Friday, facing his own accusations, he stressed on MSNBC the importance of “taking the woman’s claims seriously when she steps forward — and then vet it, look into it.”
That shift in Biden’s tone reflects the way a former staffer’s claim that he assaulted her 27 years ago is raising new questions for the #MeToo movement. Democrats and women’s activists, eager to unseat a president they consider deeply misogynistic, are facing tough decisions over whether to stick by Biden or distance themselves — and whether to redefine what emerged as a stark rallying cry after centuries of injustice: “Believe women.”
Among those publicly wrestling with such issues is Alyssa Milano, an actress, #MeToo activist and Biden supporter. “How do progressive women choose between the p---y grabber in chief who has done so much damage to our country and a man who has allegations made against him?” Milano wrote in Deadline, which covers Hollywood and entertainment.
She added, “Believing women was never about ‘Believe all women no matter what they say,’ it was about changing the culture of NOT believing women by default.”
Some longtime women’s rights activists warn that downplaying former staffer Tara Reade’s claims could undermine the movement’s credibility by suggesting it only targets men whose policies it dislikes.
“I think that this could potentially signal the end of MeToo,” said Michele Dauber, a Stanford University law professor who heads the Enough is Enough Voter Project and has called for an investigation. “The failure to investigate, and the failure to live by our principles, will become silencing.”

Believe all women... unless they are “nuts and sluts.”
Democrats are corrupt evil scum.
She added, “Believing women was never about ‘Believe all women no matter what they say,’ it was about changing the culture of NOT believing women by default.”
The entire time she spent saying that was time she could have spent making a sandwich for a man or tending to her children.
As usual, it all comes down to whose ox is being gored.
I don’t expect anything to change. The “Flip a Switch” philosophy has served the socialists quite well and for a long time. Why would they change it?
The claim is not he "assaulted" her, but that he RAPED her. She is claiming vaginal penetration. That is rape.
She'd better change her name to Alinskey given that she can talk out of both sides of her mouth at the same time.
Even Pravda under Stalin would find it really hard to compete with the Washington Post when it comes to rewriting history, fakery and mental gymnastics to justify the unjustifiable.
They don’t call him Joe “Fingers” Biden for nothing.
Democrats couldn't oust Fairfax because a Republican was next in line to assume the office, so Fairfax's accuser Vanessa Tyson was ignored, then minimized, by the MSM, too.

Believe all women, as long as it’s republicans they’re accusing.
Always recalibrate the perpetual outrage when it’s hurting one of the globalist left’s chosen elitists.
“Reexamine”? There must be three mutually exclusive alternatives:
1. Believe All Women
2. Believe Some Women
3. Believe No Women
They aren’t going to like the logical outcome of this and those three alternatives.
Only because they are illiterate and/or dishonest.
The belief that women never lie could only be held by people who have never actually dealt with women.
Women will be the first to admit, they know they lie like hell, especially to each other.
Dude. Bill Clinton. 1990s. Nothing new
He set the liberal standards
Rape ? Ok abusing 20 year olds in Oval Office. ? Fine
Lying under oath about it ? Sure fine. He’s a D and likes abortion
Biden went through this early in the primaries and it died. Round 2 will die also.
Hope you didn't throw them away. You knew you were gonna need them again someday.
