House Speaker told a reporter that she doesn't "Need a lecture or a speech" comparing the treatment of sexual assault allegations against former Vice President and Supreme Court Justice.
Washington Examiner reporter Kerry Picket asked Pelosi at a press conference how "Democrats square with the idea that they're essentially standing by Biden but used a comparatively different standard with Justice Kavanaugh when you demanded an investigation against Kavanaugh when a similar allegation came out against him."
Q: "How do Democrats square they're essentially standing by Biden but they're using a comparatively different standard with Kavanaugh when you demanded an investigation on Justice Kavanaugh-?".
Tara Reade, a former Senate aide, said last month that Biden sexually assaulted her in a secluded part of Capitol Hill in 1993 when he was a Delaware senator.
A number of people including Senate Majority Leader have claimed there is a double standard in the way Democrats and the media have responded to and covered the accusations against Biden and those leveled against Kavanaugh before he was confirmed to the Supreme Court.
Biden has yet to be asked about the allegations, which his campaign denied in a statement on March 28.Reade was one of several women who came forward last year to say that Biden's public touching had made her uncomfortable.
Reade's brother also previously said that she told him that Biden "Had his hand under her clothes at some point."
