According to Tara Reade, in 1993, then-senator Joe Biden approached her in the Capitol building, pushed her against a wall, and inserted his fingers inside her.
A video from that same year appears to show her mother calling in to CNN's Larry King Live to ask about "Problems" her daughter had encountered with "a prominent senator." Reade's allegation is now more corroborated than anything Christine Blasey Ford leveled against Brett Kavanaugh.
CNN waited 24 days to mention Reade's allegations, failed to break the news of Reade's mother's appearance on their own network, and allowed Anderson Cooper to interview Biden without asking a single question about the purported assault.
The Intercept has done commendable reporting on Reade's allegations and many Bernie Bros on Twitter have called out the DNC's hypocrisy.
Biden could still be replaced with a less handsy candidate at the convention in the summer-a farfetched scenario, to be sure, but one that was nonetheless being buzzed about well before Reade came forward, with Andrew Cuomo named as a potential dark horse.
Machiavelli is triumphing over morals; the entire #MeToo movement teeters over a precipice.
As for Bob Livingston, he surfaced again last year, during the furor over Trump's impeachment.
