Who Cares if Joe Biden Sexually Assaulted Tara Reade?

For five solid weeks, it was able to pretend that Tara Reade's sexual-assault allegations against Joe Biden either didn't exist or were so illegitimate as to be unworthy of any serious attention.

By contrast, Tara Reade went public with her sexual-assault charge against Joe Biden in a podcast interview on March 25, 2020, when she reported that Biden had digitally raped her when she was an employee in his Senate office.

Not until April 28 - five weeks after Tara Reade had gone public with her claims against Biden - did The Post even begin to give her case anything more than the barest passing mention.

In the interview, Reade, who worked as a Senate assistant for Joe Biden for about eight months in 1992-93, said that one day in the spring of '93 Biden had pushed her up against a wall, reached up underneath her skirt, inserted two of his fingers into her vagina, and asked her: "Do you want to go somewhere else?".

It is arguable that the allegations against Biden, if true, are far more serious than those aimed at Kavanaugh because: the incident is not said to have occurred when Biden was a drunken teenager at a dorm party, but rather, when he was a sober 51-year-old man who had already been a U.S. senator for 20 years; Biden is accused of having actually penetrated the woman's vagina with his fingers; and Biden is currently running for election to the highest political office in the land.

Further, the article quotes Tara Reade as having occasionally praised Biden in recent years.

April 28: On Biden and the Tara Reade allegation, do our normal standards apply?:"[E]ven if you find Reade credible, it is perfectly defensible to vote for Biden anyway, as I myself am planning to do come November.
