Joe Biden: When a woman alleges sexual assault, presume she is telling the truth
The Washington Post ^ | September 18, 2018 | Philip Rucker

Posted on 05/03/2020 4:39:54 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Former vice president Joe Biden, who was scrutinized for his handling of sexual harassment allegations made in Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s 1991 Senate confirmation hearings, said Monday night that any woman’s public claims of assault should be presumed to be true.

Speaking generally, Biden added, “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time. But nobody fails to understand that this is like jumping into a cauldron.”

Decades ago, it was assumed by some that a mere 2% of claimants were lying. Now, my wild a** guess is that it’s closer to 30%. In Olden days, say Lincoln’s, it was more about kids: Candidates would pay supporters’ children to hound their opponents yelling “Daddy!”.

Not sayin anything specific abour JB’s situation, though, considering his history, it’s probably true. As a precaution, maybe prominent dems should arm their daughters. ;-)

The thing about the POS Biden is that he usually says the right (mostly pandering) thing but is a POS hypocrite like most politicians. You notice I didn’t say Liberal because I think he is an opportunist like most.

Yes, it's real. Real article with their exact headline.

It is from 2018, though.

I believe a woman made such a claim about Emmett Till way back. He was murdered.

I think everyone including Biden should have the presumption of innocence absent strong evidence.

The problem is, he seems to be preventing any search into his congressional papers that could turn up the evidence.

Its the most lied about crime charge, and the cops and feds know this.

It would be best to assume they are not. Then get actual evidence.

Heresay is no way to run the legal system yet so many people are perfectly fine with it.

When a woman alleges sexual assault, presume she is telling the truth

And when the man denies assaulting her, presume he is lying.

Every street cop knows that complainants lie.

The perjury and sworn/unsworn falisification statues aren’t in the crimes code just to look pretty.

EXACTLY, OR if the abused lady is turning in a DIMocRAT. - Then, she is LYING, according to the DIMocRAT apologists.

Seen through LEFTIST LOON eyes, DIMocRATS are always “prefect in every way” BUT every moderate, conservative or Republican is ALWAYS at fault.
