She said not that she was fired for complaining about harassment, much less being penetrated by Joe Biden. She then said she was fired because she refused to serve drinks at an event.”
Carlson then pointed out that Reade was a Bernie Sanders supporter, and questioned the timing and motive behind her allegations against Biden.
There’s the question of Reade’s politics,” Carlson said. “We normally wouldn’t get into that because it’s not germane. But keep in mind this story is unfolding during a presidential campaign. And it’s also playing out against the backdrop of fierce infighting within the Democratic Party.” Carlson later went on to add, “It’s notable that before Joe Biden started beating Bernie Sanders in the primary, Tara Reade wasn’t attacking Joe Biden, instead she had effusively positive things to say about him. In 2017, Tara Reade repeatedly praised Joe Biden for his work against sexual assault.”

I think one objective difference is that kavanuagh was going through a SCOTUS vetting process with hearings which allowed a large visible platform for his accusers vs Reid who has only done a handful of interviews and there are no vetting or investigative hearings going on re Biden.
I don’t know where sdskinsfan stands re the Kavanaugh’s accusers but ... I would imagine any conservative who didn’t believe kavanaughs accuser bc her accusation was decades later or she didn’t know specificities ... then now can’t claim with a straight face the Reid accusation must be taken seriously.
Shouldn’t the conservatives who blank dismissed kavanaughs accuser now must dismiss Biden accuser?
Wouldn’t that be ironic, don’t ya think? |
Its not about belief or not. I get absolutely zero benefit/enjoyment out of what Biden is going thru. I wouldn't wish sexual harassment charges on anyone, without proof of guilt. I didn't dismiss Kavanaugh accusers. I also didn't just take the ball and run with it with hearsay evidence. Kavanaugh was guilty immediately. These same people that said believe all women, which means the men they accuse are automatically guilty, are no where to be found with Biden. Do we believe all women or not? If so, then the same way Kavanaugh shouldn't have been confirmed, Biden needs to drop out of the race. Or does the political views of the accused become the determining factor? Sure looks to be the latter.
It's about the assumed guilt 1 person dealt with, vs. the assumed innocence Biden gets. It's not been handled the same same and its clear as day why. Accusations against someone should be handled way closer to how it being handled for Biden, than how it was handled for Kavanaugh, for everyone. But that's not the case.
I think everyone can see the difference. Whether people will admit it or not, thats another conversation.
