You read that right. It’s despicable, but for Democrats, a presidential candidate releasing a character assassination playbook is totally ‘normal’. Former vice president Joe Biden and his campaign released their so-called ‘talking points for the liberal media to combat the well-documented accusations of sexual assault by ‘shining light’ on Biden and slamming the credibility of Reade- as well as her witnesses.
Alexandra Tara Reade, 56, a California-based writer, first came forward a year ago after several other women accused Biden of intrusive (but nonsexual) contact such as unwanted hugs, touches on the arm or affectionate kisses. Reade, who worked in Biden’s office in 1992-93 when he was a U.S. senator, said that he frequently touched her neck and shoulders, making her uncomfortable.
In one encounter, Reade described a time that Biden forcefully penetrated her and then told her, “you’re fine”.
The talking points obtained by BuzzFeed News are printed below:
● All four of the people Mrs. Reade says were notified of an official complaint told the New York Times on the record that they have absolutely no recollection of any such conversation — and that they certainly would have remembered it, especially because this alleged conduct would have been so wildly out of character for Joe Biden.
● Biden has been a fierce advocate for women, authoring and fighting to pass the Violence Against Women Act and launching a campaign to end sexual assault on college campuses. He has spent his life fighting to end abuses of power against women and using his voice to advocate for women across the country and around the world.
● Here’s the bottom line: Vice President Joe Biden has spent over 40 years in public life: 36 years in the Senate; 7 Senate campaigns, 2 previous presidential runs, two vice presidential campaigns, and 8 years in the White House. There has never been a complaint, allegation, hint or rumor of any impropriety or inappropriate conduct like this regarding him – ever.
● Biden believes that all women have the right to be heard and to have their claims thoroughly reviewed. In this case, a thorough review by the New York Times has led to the truth: this incident did not happen.
Biden’s campaign also cited a New York Times that ‘exonerates’ the former VP in their “investigation”
“The New York Times did weeks of extensive investigative research, talking to nearly two dozen former Biden staff from the 1990s, including those who worked directly with Ms. Reade. Here is what they found: “No other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the course of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members corroborate any details of Ms. Reade’s allegation. The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden.”
It sure seems like all Biden, his campaign, and the NYT did with their meddling in the actual investigation is assert Biden’s guilt.
Sorry Quid Pro Joe, but she has corroboration for her claims.”I believe women, and I believe survivors of violence always deserve to be supported and to have their voices heard.” 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, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Julie Swetnick etc.. They would never lie, unless Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Keith Ellison, Anthony Weiner, Robert Müeller, Al Franken, etc. are accused.
