Biden denies Tara Reade sexual assault allegation, calls for release of any records

WASHINGTON — Joe Biden, the apparent Democratic nominee for president, denied on Friday a former staffer's claim of sexual assault, and called for the National Archives to release any potential records related to the allegation.

"It is not true, I am saying unequivocally it never never happened and it didn't," Biden said in an interview on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "It never happened."

In a written statement issued just before the interview, Biden called the allegations “complicated,” and said women “deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.”

"Responsible news organizations should examine and evaluate the full and growing record of inconsistencies in her story, which has changed repeatedly in both small and big ways,” Biden continued.

“She does not have a record of this alleged complaint,” Biden noted in his written statement. Addressing calls from some to release any records that his personal Senate papers, now being archived at the University of Delaware, Biden said those papers "do not contain personnel files.”

"There is only one place a complaint of this kind could be — the National Archives. The National Archives is where the records are kept at what was then called the Office of Fair Employment Practices. I am requesting that the Secretary of the Senate ask the Archives to identify any record of the complaint she alleges she filed and make available to the press any such document. If there was ever any such complaint, the record will be there."

Pressed in the MSNBC interview about whether he would grant access to his papers at the University of Delaware to provide full transparency, Biden insisted that there would be no relevant personnel documents there.

I actually think Mika Schmo does a decent job with her questions. Biden looks confused and demented. He doesn’t understands simple questions. He is totally unconvincing.

Slo-Joe was silent for the last month, that he used to purge records of the rape report.

Now he is singing like a drunk dog-faced pony soldier.

Check the socks of anyone associated with Biden and the DNC. It’s how they handle archived evidence.

calls for release of any records

In other words scour the archives and burn anything incriminating. If digital use bleach bit.

Everytime I see those videos it pisses me off. Someone should have beat the sh*t out of him a long time ago and then put him in prison.....

If that little girl had been my daughter, Joe would be a dead man....

Jolly Joe continues to steadfastly maintain that, at the time, he was merely challenging the young woman to a pushup contest (with him on top).

"Reade’s more recent allegation initially gained traction slowly, and primarily among Biden’s political opponents. "

Must be a pretty weak allegation if it couldn't gain traction quickly.

All the “mainstream” DNC news outlets that ignored these allegations for weeks now leap to broadcast Gropey Joe’s denial.

Don’t know why he is denying this. After all isn’t it a resume enhancement for a democrat.
