Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday defended former Vice President Joe Biden after a reporter asked if she believed allegations from Tara Reade, a former aide who says the then-senator sexually assaulted her in a secluded part of Capitol Hill in 1993.
Gillibrand, who ran for president last year, said she stood by the presumptive Democratic nominee and supported him, noting he had denied the allegations.
“So when we say believe women, it’s for this explicit intention of making sure there’s space for all women to come forward to speak their truth, to be heard,” Gillibrand said during a conference call with reporters about the Postal Service.
“And in this allegation, that is what Tara Reade has done. She has come forward, she has spoken, and they have done an investigation in several outlets. Those investigations, Vice President Biden has called for himself. Vice President Biden has vehemently denied these allegations, and I support Vice President Biden.”
The reporter followed up by asking if Democrats who were on the front lines for the hearing into Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh see any “contradiction” in not speaking out on Reade’s behalf.
“No, and I stand by Vice President Biden,” Gillibrand said. “He has devoted his life to supporting women, and he has vehemently denied this allegation.”

Of course you do, Kristen. You don’t represent thinking, responsible New Yorkers, you are, and always have been, a tool for the DeeperDemos.
Kirsten. Sorry, My mistake.
She will stand with him while he sniffs her hair.
Senator Gillibrand becomes Senator Gibberish when one of her ideological “buds” commits an alleged rape. The next thing she’ll be saying is that Ms. Reade must have been wearing a short skirt and invited the attention of this wonderful man.
Vote for abortion on demand and you can let’er rip.
Of course, if you’re not a democrat legislator or high elected democrat official, you’re SOL.
NOW stood behind Bill Clinton, who rapes and molested hundreds of women. You can’t believe these people anymore.
Don’t let it take him down. We need him right where he is until it’s too late. Mid Oct. DNC is working on it now.
To call this vapid yuppie a hypocrite is to trivialize the term.
Nuthin’ but a partisan gangsta wannabe.
She’s hoping for a cabinet post or Ambassadorship.
Words sound stupider and stupider when words are not even close to the proper response.
You gotta give it to the demos. They put a rapist in the WH in 92, an ineligible candidate in 2008, and now one with early onset dementia, used his position to enrich himself and his family and stop the investigation of his corrupt son. Who next? A mass murder?
I forgot serial groper of girls and women.
“ and he has vehemently denied this allegation.”
Actually he hasn’t.

LOL of course..BELIEVE ALL WOMEN, unless they accuse a Democrat, than its GEEZ WHAT A FREAKIN LIAR..gee Joe, if you did nothing wrong, release your Senate records let’s see what they contain
