I’m an old woman, who didn’t vote for Bill but was an enthusiastic Hill supporter. Had to edit this post, because my previous comment was offensive to some. I’m offended by Mz Reid and her lies. This article has credibility… and speaks to this woman’s character. Stealing from animal rescues is beneath contempt. https://medium.com/@eddiekrassenstein/biden-accuser-tara-reade-allegedly-stole-from-a-non-profit-organization-e276cac68a2b

Tara Reade Calls For Joe Biden To Withdraw Presidential Bid

Well that’s a tad political isn’t it? Scratching my head over that one.

This is news? Why is it on TPM? Trying to stir up those #MeToo people who claim that all allegations by women must be believed? They are trying to be the death of the Democratic Party, and I am sorry that TPM is assisting them.

This makes me wonder if there has been a real incident here, or a confabulated incident, and whether or not there is some ongoing under-the-table compensation to keep this going as a distraction while undermining a political opponent.

Enough of her. How many people died of COVID while she did that interview?

Tara Reade needs to elaborate on ‘penetration’. Personal spherical penetration is not a crime.

Okay, the earlier report states she claimed Biden reached under her skirt and penetrated her. That is a serious allegation.

She makes herself look politically motivated
Who’s advising her? What’s next? Maybe she can endorse Trump because she doesn’t know for a fact that Trump is a rapist, but she knows Biden is one.

Two things wrong with this.

  1. Has-been Fox and NBC white Santa white Jesus Megan Kelly is still a thing?
    Give it up, girl.

  2. Putin-loving Sanders sycophant says what?
    Give it a rest, girl.

Did Megyn Kelly conduct the interview in blackface?

TPM includes this:

Reade’s former neighbor, a former colleague, and her brother have said that Reade shared aspects of her allegations with them in the 90s.

“This happened, and I know it did because I remember talking about it,” Reade’s former neighbor Lynda LaCasse told Business Insider.

But nothing about the NYT investigation which included interviews with several people who had no recollection of any of it? Nothing about Reade’s changing story? Nothing about how the senate complaint, Reade tells us recently, includes no mention of assault or harassment?

We may never know exactly what happened. The best we can do is to present all of the available evidence. If Reade’s brother and neighbor are credible sources of evidence, then so are Biden’s employees and associates at the time.

McHugh (he works for Business Insider) supposedly put the interview together.

Having lied about the nature of any ‘report’ she may have filed and with her history of lying to gain sympathy or gains or for revenge this woman has no credibility left.

This pattern with.a different woman seems more likely:

McHugh is a hack’s hack—just a step above James O’Keefe.

No doubt Reade used the opportunity to call for Trump – even more so – to “drop his presidential bid”.
