Democrats to Replace Biden at Convention Over Tara Reade Sexual Assault Allegations?

While the mainstream media has mostly kept a lid on this story, the sexual assault allegations by Tara Reade against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden aren't going away soon.

"The Democratic Party would like us to believe , and they behaved that way even before Bernie Sanders dropped out of the race. But we are still in a Democratic-primary season. Biden is only the presumptive nominee," she said, before adding, "And there's all kinds of whispers and rumors about whether or not something might happen at the convention, which might mean Joe Biden isn't even the nominee."

Unlike the allegations made against Brett Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford, which were uncorroborated and had all sorts of holes in it, Tara Reade filed a complaint at the time of the alleged incident, and told her mother, her brother, and a friend who worked in Sen. Ted Kennedy's office.

A new report from The Intercept published on Friday says that new evidence supports the credibility of Tara Reade's allegations against Biden.

I think it's clear, based on Gray's comments in her interview, that Bernie Bros who are not happy about Biden being the presumptive nominee are going to make sure the Tara Reade allegations don't get swept under the rug, in the hopes that they can pull off getting a different candidate on the ballot.

Even without the Tara Reade allegations, there's enough for Democrats to be concerned about.

The situation in New York has deteriorated significantly since then, and perhaps disenchanted Democrats are no longer looking at Cuomo as an alternative, but the fact that such an alternative was considered suggests there might be buyer's remorse over Biden-remorse that can be exacerbated by the Tara Reade allegations gaining traction in the media.
