Kamala Harris, whom expected Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden announced Tuesday as his running mate, said last year that she believes the women who accused Biden of sexual assault.

The same corporate media that regularly crybaby over Donald Trump upsetting all their precious norms, just normalized sexual assault and racism. Feminist attorney Lisa Bloom said she believes Biden sexually assaulted Reade and doesn’t care — she is still throwing her support behind a man who she believes committed a sexual assault. And the media did not blink an eye, are okay with normalizing such a thing. Welcome to the media’s new standard, y’all… It is now perfectly okay to support someone for president whom you believe is guilty of a brutal and violent sexual assault. Then there is the...

Harriet Wrye did a double take the first time she saw Tara Reade on television lodging sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden. “Jim, that’s Tara,” the 79-year-old author and psychologist called out to her husband, “but she has a different name.” Wrye and her husband knew Reade as Tara McCabe, the woman who had rented a yurt on their 12-acre California property and tended to the couple’s horses — and her own — for about 10 months beginning in 2017. They were well-acquainted with their former tenant, who frequently knocked on the door of their home seeking emotional support, asking...

A pro-Trump super PAC attacked former Vice President Joe Biden over his accuser Tara Reade’s allegations in an ad released Monday. Great America PAC’s ad, titled “Shattered,” focuses on Reade’s allegations that Biden, a Democratic candidate in the 2020 presidential election, kissed her, touched her, and penetrated her with his fingers without her consent in 1993 when she worked for him as a Senate staffer. Biden has repeatedly denied these allegations.

Joe Biden has the support of just over half of Democrats, although the vast majority still expect the former vice president to be their party’s presidential nominee. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 54% of Likely Democratic Voters are satisfied with Biden as the Democrats’ 2020 nominee. Twenty-eight percent (28%) think the party should find someone else to be their nominee, while another 18% are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.) Ninety-two percent (92%) of Democrats, however, think it’s likely Biden will be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2020, with 77% who say...

In yet another blow to Joe Biden's scandal-ridden presidential campaign, a video has emerged from 2008 that shows the former vice president admitting he was arrested in Ohio after he was caught following women into an all-female dorm room.The newly unearthed clip shows CNN reporting that Biden told a crowd in Ohio that he was “arrested” for following a group of young women into their dorms.

* 48% of voters view Biden unfavorably, up 3 points since the surge of Tara Reade coverage, while 43% view him favorably, down 2 points since then. * Voters who dislike both Trump and Biden overwhelmingly back Biden, 46% to 14%, in a head-to-head matchup. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tara Reade’s allegation that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her when he was a senator in 1993 is one of the few non-coronavirus stories to have broken through to voters amid the pandemic, and it appears to be taking a toll on the former vice president’s popularity. A new Morning Consult poll found the former...

Joe Biden sex-assault accuser Tara Reade said she used to be a die-hard Barack Obama supporter — but she has left the Democratic Party after the blowback to her claims against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee. Reade, who has accused Biden of sexually assaulting her in his Senate office in 1993, said she voted for Obama for president in 2008 and 2012 — but now feels she has no party to turn to. “I’m leaving the Democratic Party and I won’t be part of any,” Reade said during an interview with Megyn Kelly published in its entirety Friday. “I won’t...

I had not seen the FULL interview posted anywhere (only bits & pieces), so here it is, from YouTube. The interview has a lot of new details of harassment in Biden's office and discusses other people who knew (uses first names only). I find Ms. Reade totally believable. She makes eye contact and addresses every question. Looks like the reason we did not hear more from her earlier is because she had a child, had a bad marriage with domestic violence she ended with a restraining order and a change of identity, then went to law school and became a...

A court document from 1996 shows former Senate staffer Tara Reade told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden in 1993. The declaration — exclusively obtained by The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, California — does not say Biden committed the harassment nor does it mention Reade’s more recent allegations of sexual assault. Reade’s then-husband Theodore Dronen wrote the court declaration. Dronen at the time was contesting a restraining order Reade filed against him days after he filed for divorce, Superior Court records show. In it, he writes Reade told him about “a problem she was...

Reade seems to be serious in her legal pursuits. She retained Douglas Wigdor, a “high powered Manhattan attorney.”Tara Reade, the former Biden staffer who accused Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993, joined Megyn Kelly for an exclusive interview which was published Thursday. In the interview, Reade called for Biden to drop out. A court filing from 1996 recently made public, shows Reade told her ex-husband of the alleged sexual assault in 1993. The Tribune in San Luis Obispo has more: A court document from 1996 shows former Senate staffer Tara Reade told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while...

As Joe Biden pinned Tara Reade up against a wall, he told her “l want to ---- you,” the former staffer says in a new interview with Megyn Kelly — giving her most graphic, detailed account yet of their 1993 encounter. Tasked with bringing Biden’s gym bag to him in his Senate office, Reade, who was then a junior staffer, rushed there in her high heels, and was greeted by the senator by name. What happened next “happened very quickly,” Reade said in the interview, which will be posted in its entirety to Kelly’s Twitter account on Friday — and...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who alleged Joe Biden sexually assaulted her 27 years ago, is being represented by a prominent lawyer and political donor to President Donald Trump’s 2016 Republican campaign. Attorney Douglas Wigdor told The Associated Press he was not currently being paid for his work with Reade. His firm also denied there was a political motivation for his decision to represent Reade in her accusations against Trump’s presumptive Democratic opponent in the November election.

Prominent feminist attorney Lisa Bloom, who is also the daughter of Gloria Allred, took to Twitter on Friday to insist that she believes former Vice President Joe Biden sexually assaulted Tara Reade but that she would vote for him anyway. Reade came forward on March 25 to claim that while she worked as a staffer for Biden’s senate office in 1993, he pinned her against the wall, groped her, and put his hands under her skirt to penetrate her with his fingers. Unlike the dubious allegations against now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, left-leaning media outlets refused to cover Reade’s allegations...

Lady Gaga debuted a PSA Wednesday with her "buddy," former Vice President Joe Biden, urging action against sexual assault. "I'm not only with a great friend, but a fierce advocate," Biden says of Lady Gaga in the PSA, which is part of the "It's On Us" campaign, launched in 2014 by Biden and former President Barack Obama, aimed at ending sexual assault on college campuses. Biden, 74, seated next to the singer continues, "Lady Gaga has been the voice for people who have been forgotten and people who have been abused ... Well it happened to her. She’s shown enormous...

First Read is your briefing from "Meet the Press" and the NBC Political Unit on the day's most important political stories and why they matter. WASHINGTON — A month ago, a California woman — Tara Reade — alleged that apparent Democratic nominee Joe Biden assaulted her 27 years ago when she worked for Biden in his Senate office, a charge that Biden vehemently denies. “No, it is not true. I am saying unequivocally — it never happened,” Biden said onMSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Friday morning. It's a complicated story, colored by Biden's past history of touching women (though never before in...

Democratic National Committee Chair Tom Perez on Sunday brushed off calls to convene a panel to investigate former Senate staffer Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden. Biden’s record has already been subjected to a thorough review, Perez told ABC’s “This Week,” citing the vice presidential vetting process conducted by Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008. “There’s been so many investigations of the vice president,” Perez said. “The most comprehensive investigation of the vice president was when he was vetted by Barack Obama in 2008.” “If Barack Obama had any indication there was an issue, Barack Obama would not...

The New York Times on Saturday called for the Democratic National Committee to investigate the sexual assault claims against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden -- a day after he denied the allegations for the first time. “As is so often the case in such situations, it is all but impossible to be certain of the truth. But the stakes are too high to let the matter fester — or leave it to be investigated by and adjudicated in the media. Mr. Biden is seeking the nation’s highest office,” a column by the Times’ Editorial Board said. The call came a...
