And answers the NY Times push for an ‘investigation ‘ into then Senator Biden’s files….
Reade an ex-Biden staffer that has since worked for Bernie Sanders offers up ANOTHER version of her story against Joe Biden with holes in it…
She admits that Biden told Biden his comments that made her feel uncomfortable …She NEVER mentioned any sexual harassment or assault situation in her Senate report , which she did not make a copy of….She indicates that she felt she was fired for this but there is simply no back up on her story from back in the day….27 years ago…
Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who alleges Joe Biden sexually assaulted her 27 years ago, says she filed a limited report with a congressional personnel office that did not explicitly accuse him of sexual assault or harassment.
“I remember talking about him wanting me to serve drinks because he liked my legs and thought I was pretty and it made me uncomfortable,” Reade said in an interview Friday with The Associated Press. “I know that I was too scared to write about the sexual assault.”
Reade said she described her issues with Biden but “the main word I used — and I know I didn’t use sexual harassment — I used ‘uncomfortable.’ And I remember ‘retaliation.’”
Reade described the report after the AP discovered additional transcripts and notes from its interviews with Reade last year in which she says she “chickened out” after going to the Senate personnel office. The AP interviewed Reade in 2019 after she accused Biden of uncomfortable and inappropriate touching. She did not raise allegations of sexual assault against Biden until this year, around the time he became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee….
Tara Reade canceled her Fix interview for Sunday….
And she canceled a FOX News Sunday interview last minute.
Time to let this story die.

Folks, Biden’s going nowhere if a. he is continuing to beat Trump in the polls, which so far he is. b. Dem voters/elected officials are sticking by him, which so far they are.

Per Morning Consult, Biden’s lead was 4 pts from May 2-3. From Apr 27 – May 3, it was 4 pts. From April 20-26, it was 4 pts… For the month of April, it averaged 4 pts. Quite steady. https://morningconsult.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/200501_crosstabs_BIDEN_READE_RVs_v4_YW.pdf
So far Biden poll umbers unaffected by Reade story and media coverage…
Tara Reade has done a interview with Megyn Kelly….
In the session Reade of course wishes Joe Biden would drop out of the running for President…
I’m sure she wouldn’t mind Bernie Sanders taking his place ?
She has a another story on the incident back 27 years ago and wonders why Democrats and the media haven’t taken her actuations seriously
I await Kelly’s interview of all 22 who have accused Trump.
I’m done with this story. Time to move on.
I saw Megyn Kelly interview a whole bunch of them at once on NBC.
Seriously?
Biden isn’t gonna drop out so she can get Sanders the spot and lose…
Perhaps she reached a point where she decided to exaggerate or make up a crime, but clearly something bad happened to her when working in Biden’s office. Divorce papers from 1996 have her husband referencing “sexual harassment” in Biden’s office directly, so she did not exactly first make all of this up just to help Bernie Sanders stop Joe Biden.
And of course the burden of believability hypocrisy on the left is disgraceful, but deep down, they are feeling chastened by their past behavior in this area.
Ultimately, in all these he said/she said stories, only the people directly involved know the truth, as well as whatever Higher Power you want to believe in. Those who have committed offenses and lied about it or those who have lied about (or mistakenly falsely accused) innocent people of offenses might be held accountable.
Let’s be clear though. Obviously she is not able to prove this and may very well have made the worst aspects of it up, but all sorts of victims of abuse are afraid to speak up for years before finding the strength or need to do so.
Now, have lie detectors been introduced into this narrative yet?
From what I read, in the interview, she did not volunteer to take one but said that she would take one if Biden did too.
She has stepped into a buzz saw in the media…
When u go after someone who could be president decades late…With holes in ur story?
Ya ain’t gonna have a easy time..
But you and some of your readers sure said otherwise when it was a conservative being accused.
We’ve learned that things have changed with Trump as a example
Problems in the office AND with Biden himself?
I don’t doubt that Joe Biden at some point touched her…
He did that for everybody…
He HAS been admonished for his ‘handsy’ habits…
But Reade’s actions to me ARE suspect
27 years back in the day…
Paperwork missing, or never filed…
Problems with Biden staff…
A Bernie Sanders supporter who has the goal of having Biden quit so Bernie can take his place
Only talking to right leaning media..
The list is long on this…
I have MANY doubts as why this is even taking up this much time…
Especially when GOPer’s have far WORST stuff and they have kept on truckin…
Well, if all he did was touch her shoulders and sniff her hair and make comments about her legs, he should admit and apologize for it while maintaining that he would never do the worst of what she alleged.
I think you are offbase to keep bringing Bernie Sanders into this. He has endorsed Biden.
Also, she has talked to CNN and I would not call Megyn Kelly “right leaning media.” Once again, she had an entire show featuring a panel of the women who had accused Trump. I remember watching it.
I didn’t say Biden dis something wrong
I pointed out his history…
And Reade HAS favored the right leaning media..
