Biden and Sexual Assault Charges

Remember how a few months ago all the news was about the Democrats debating of who would make the best President?  Remember how Bernie Sanders was leading Joe Biden?  Remember how the Virus hit America and shut down all campaigns in a nanosecond? Remember how Bernie Sanders dropped out and gave Joe Biden the clear path to the Democratic nomination?

It turns out that Joe might have some sexual skeletons in his closet.  This will be really interesting to see if the media climbs all over this story.

In March, when a former aide to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden accused the candidate of sexually assaulting her in 1993, two people came forward to say that the woman, Tara Reade, had told them of the incident shortly after it allegedly occurred — her brother, Collin Moulton, and a friend who asked to remain anonymous for fear of retribution.

Now two more sources have come forward to corroborate certain details about Reade's claims. One of them — a former neighbor of Reade's — has told Insider for the first time, on the record, that Reade disclosed details about the alleged assault to her in the mid-1990s.

"This happened, and I know it did because I remember talking about it," Lynda LaCasse, who lived next door to Reade in the mid-'90s, told Insider.

The other source, Lorraine Sanchez, who worked with Reade in the office of a California state senator in the mid-'90s, told Insider that she recalls Reade complaining at the time that her former boss in Washington, DC, had sexually harassed her, and that she had been fired after raising concerns.

In interviews with Insider, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and the politics podcaster Katie Halper — who broke the story of the assault allegations — Reade has said that in the spring or summer of 1993, she was told to meet Biden in a semiprivate corridor to deliver a duffel bag. There, she said, Biden pushed her up against a wall, reached under her skirt, and penetrated her with his fingers. When she resisted his advances, Reade said, Biden expressed annoyance and said, "Aw man, I heard you liked me." Then, she said, he pointed a finger at her and said, "You're nothing to me." After that, she said, he shook her by the shoulders and said, "You're OK, you're fine," before walking away.

Before the alleged assault, Reade said, she had already complained to her superiors in Biden's office that the way Biden looked at her and touched her made her uncomfortable. She got no response, she said, and after the alleged assault was abruptly relieved of her duties managing interns. She said she later filed a complaint about her treatment — but not the about the assault allegation — with a Senate human-resources office.

The Biden camp has denied Reade's allegations. "Women have a right to tell their story, and reporters have an obligation to rigorously vet those claims," Kate Bedingfield, Biden's communications director said in a statement earlier this month. "We encourage them to do so, because these accusations are false."

Let's see if all the Hollywood ilk will roll out their #MeToo banners and get Joe thrown out of the DFL! 

Don't hold your breath.

However, we have heard a rumor that the DFL is not going to give Joe the nod regardless of the sexual assault outcome.  We wonder if they aren't going to announce that Michelle Obama is their woman!  That way they can get Barack as the First Man and know that he could be acting as President anyway!  A liberal dream come true!!  The Obama's back in the White House!
