There are crickets on the Dems side when it comes to the allegations against Biden. Dems don’t want to hear that their presidential candidate is being accused of sexually assaulting someone, especially if it interferes with their attempt to get rid of Trump. So it seems right now Biden could practically get away with murder when it comes to Trump haters. But surprising one Dem is calling out the hypocrisy, Freshman Dem AOC.
“New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday night said the Democratic Party should discuss the recent sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden, a charge the presumptive nominee’s campaign has denied.
On Tuesday evening in an online conversation with The Wing, a networking and community space for women, a questioner asked Ocasio-Cortez about the accusation recently leveled against Biden by Tara Reade, who worked for him when he was a Delaware senator in the 1990s. The questioner opposes President Trump’s reelection, but also “really resent[s] the fact that the other choice is someone who has a really long history of being creepy to women.”
Ocasio-Cortez responded, “What you’re voicing is so legitimate and real. That’s why I find this kind of silencing of all dissent to be a form of gaslighting.”
She went on to say, “I think it’s legitimate to talk about these things. And if we want, if we again want to have integrity, you can’t say, you know — both believe women, support all of this, until it inconveniences you, until it inconveniences us.”
“A lot of us are survivors, and it’s really, really hard and uncomfortable.” Not discussing allegations is the “exact opposite of integrity” the congresswoman said, adding that it is “not okay” to prioritize beating Trump over discussing sensitive #MeToo issues like these because they are “very legitimate thing[s].”
“I think a lot of us are just in this moment where it’s like, how did we get here? You know, it almost felt like we started this cycle where we had kind of moved on from, you know, from all of this. And now it feels like we’re kind of back in it,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “And, you know, the most diverse field that we’ve ever seen — that we’re kind of back kind of replaying old movies in a way.”
AOC has a real point here. Dems were all over Justice Kavanaugh and the GOP gave them a chance to address the accusations. But these accusations against Biden are just being swept under the rug. It looks like the #metoo movement only matters to Dems when they are accusing members of the GOP otherwise women don’t have a voice.
All Rape accusers must be believed, women like Crystal Magnum, Susan Shannon, ”Jackie” of the UVA, Columbia’s ‘Mattress Girl’, Emma Sulkowicz, Wanetta Gibson, Tawana Brawley, Gregory Counts and Van Dyke Perry’s accuser, etc.. They would never lie, unless Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Keith Ellison, Anthony Weiner, Robert Müeller, Al Franken, etc. is accused.
The Dems want to push Biden in get him elected and then watch him get Impeached and then his vice President would step up. The VP is the Dems real choice but they know that the VP couldn’t get elected on their own . This is the Dems way of playing Puppet Master… now the real question is who is the choice for VP.
AOC, Did you get hit by lightning that got you making some sense??
Shocking, to be sure, is it not? I would never have believed I would see anything positive from her in my lifetime!
