Tucker Carlson explains the reasons for doubting Tara Reade’s story
American Thinker ^ | 05/05/2020 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 05/06/2020 7:24:20 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

While my inner troll is delighting in Tara Reade exposing the moral bankruptcy of Democrats’ phony “Believe all women” stance only when political enemies are accused, I am a skeptic.  And I fear that her efforts will help the Dem establishment in pulling the plug on Biden, whose declining mental capacity cannot be hidden for the nearly 6 months of presidential campaigning ahead.

Make no mistake: rushing to deny the nomination to Bernie Sanders by backing Biden was a colossal blunder.  Shooing his rivals out of the race enabled a big Super Tuesday delegate harvest for Biden, but because the media failed to alert them to Biden’s true mental decline, the powers-that-be accidentally backed a loser, not a “safe” known commodity.  

Last night, Tucker Carlson focused on the problems with Reade’s changing story, noting her enthusiastic backing for Bernie Sanders, and the troubling timing of her charges. The entire 6 minute segment and a rush transcript are embedded below, but the most serious issue is:

…before Joe Biden started beating Bernie Sanders in the primary, Tara Reade wasn’t attacking Joe Biden, instead she had effusively positive things to say about him. In 2017, Tara Reade repeatedly praised Joe Biden for his work against sexual assault. At one point Reade wrote “My old boss speaks the truth.”

Rush transcript via Grabien:

Of segments on this show about Tara Reade and her allegations against Joe Biden, we’ve told you about Biden’s weird reaction to the charges, he stammered when asked — we told you at length about the infuriating and sickening hypocrisy of the media and the professional feminist movement. Believe all women? They don’t, it depends on the Politics.

Agree. Until l last night, I wasn’t aware of how many differing accounts Reade had told. I do suspect he did SOMETHING and it may have involved ‘penetration’, but letting him off the hook back in 1993 will destroy her credibility. She says she reported that he did something, but nothing that bad. No worries though. This story will soon be relegated to the dustbin of Dem history, just like Bammy’s ‘my Muslim faith’ blunder.

It's quite possible that a large percentage of Democrat voters haven't seen most of the Biden clips that people see who watch Fox News or visit conservative websites.

That may be a true statement, however, Tucker should have used the word voters if that is indeed who he meant. Stating the identifier Democrats, and he knows that, or should at any rate.

The bottom line is, the accuser has the burden of proof. Until then, the accused is assumed innocent until proven otherwise.

The real story is the fact that this exposes the hypocrisy and utter derangement of the left. Note the difference when it's one of their idiots.

Biden did his usual handsy stuff, which Reade reported. Then Bernie bro Reade enhanced the new version to make it sound worse.

Why hasn’t the media asked her why she was silent when Biden ran for VP twice? Why does she come forward now?

Because she’s and hammer in Bernie’s camp now.

I have no doubt something happened, based on her mother’s phone call. But the fact that she was until recently praising him and boasting that he was her former boss, says she had gotten over it, whatever it was. The fact that she didn’t bring it up when he was running against Bernie, her preferred candidate, also is important. She only brought it up after he emerged as the front runner, and his mental failings started to show.

I’ve been saying the Clintons are behind this. There is more in their file drawer, and they’ll keep dribbling it out there until he is gone. Hillary is endorsing Biden while slipping the knife in his ribs.

Biden did what this woman describes at least 50 times. Of that I have no doubt.
................................................
Biden is a typical sexual deviant. Almost without exception these despicable bully boys spend their lives looking for opportunities to sexually assault anyone who’s seen as vulnerable to their aggression. All of them are filthy pigs, and this asshole Biden is no exception. The SOB should be arrested and charged with rape.

Joe Biden put his hands on little girls breasts during public events. He is certainly capable off putting this hand under a woman’s skirt in private and more. He has a psychological problem and needs to fondle women or thinks he is entitled to.

being a senator made him”special” and entitled, in a Clintonesque way.

Her story is believable to me, irrespective of the timing. i don’t like court cases base don 25+ year old incidents, but for consideration as president, why put another molester in the WH? He is a molester before Reade came out and he will always be a molester.

The media should stand up and set some kind of standard by which allegations should be weighed.

Funniest statement I’ve seen on FR this week!

They would certainly rather use this to take him out rather than face questions about Ukraine, and Romania, and China, and Iraq, where billions of dollars have changed hands... not millions, but billions.

Use this, let Fox News take the blame, and keep the major corruption under wraps.

Tucker Carlson is establishing himself as an honest, reliable observer who’s judgment people are trusting. By pointing out the hypocrisies and inconsistencies of the Tara Reade story, he is doing a great service to conservatives. Its best in the long run to center attention on the facts. It is clear that this woman received unwanted attention and a degree of molestation by Joe Biden. Yet she herself is a bit inconsistent and does have a wavering political, bizarre agenda. While having been molested by Biden, she claims that she will still vote for him. At this point it is best to let the Democrats stew in their own hypocrisy which they even now try to defend.

The bottom line is that Trump and his campaign must make it clear what is at stake in this election. Do the people really want to elect a corrupt, creepy, demented old man as their President. A man who would be a figurehead that opened the borders, introduced anti liberty and anti capitalist policies and destroyed the American nation in favor of socialist globalism.

Ive been thinking it would be stupid to let this story be the narrative on Biden because (China) there are so many good reasons (China) to question the candidacy of the man who hails from the credit card haven, Delaware. The Obama administration has a lot of foreign policy sins to answer for, not least Libya which is not a slave market hell. I know Joe isn’t O, but he’s a globalist dinosaur, and being the best the Dems have to offer doesn’t make that fact untrue. I mean, the other dinosaur, Bernie, would have our country crashed, burned, and in the hands of his commie buddies in Beijing before you could say Mao Zedong.

In light of all that, a sex scandal seems an unlikely thing as a main narrative unless there was a murder attached to it. It’s just that it seems like Karma after Kavanaugh and others. Truthfully, it was Kavanaugh that put a stake through that tactic and we should understand what that means going forward. I suspect Tara could serve as a sort of sex scandal vaccine for Joe Biden.

Very interesting theory.
The only hole I can see in it is that she apparently was upset enough years ago to tell her mom and a neighbor about it. Then the mom went on Larry King’s show on CNN. The neighbor also recalls it.
However, she is a Bernie bot. Why did she not come out with this PRIOR to Super Tuesday?

I believe the guy has been very handsy for 40 years. There is plenty of photographic evidence. Not to mention the whole swimming in the pool naked in front of female Secret Service agents. What kind of weirdo would do that?

There are always reasons to doubt.

Until the blue dress shows up.

He did it alright. Plenty of corroborating evidence from 4 different women that she told about at the time.
Not to mention we have lots of videos of Biden touching women, sniffing their hair and all kinds of inappropriate behavior.
Plus there is another 7 women including a Democratic state congress woman who have accused Biden of sexual assault or inappropriate touching.

But I do enjoy seeing him hoisted on his on petard.

That is the way I look at it. Joe started the BS when he brought out Anita Hill during the Clarence Thomas hearings. Allegations such as those made by Blasey, Hill and Reade should not be made public during hearings because there is no way to prove any of them and they are ultimately unfounded allegations (even if true).

However, this is the way the 'rats chose to proceed with these allegations, so they deserve some of their own Alinsky tactics. I don;t care if Reade is making it up. Even if nothing comes of it, it is fun to watch the feminists sell themselves out for another 'rat politician.

“What kind of weirdo would do that?”

Probably quite a few.

Huh? The media needed to alert the Democrats to the mental decline of their selected candidate because they don't have the ability to see what everybody else sees? That's a real stretch.

That was my first reaction too.

But then I thought about the brainwashed mental capacity of your average Democrat primary voter.
