[1]Slow Joe, b/k/a Joseph Biden, former Senator from Delaware and presumptive democrat nominee for President has been credibly accused of rape[*], from Breitbart [2]:
When [Tara] Reade originally came forward in April of 2019, she joined about a half-dozen women who have credibly accused Biden of unwanted touching. And I say “credibly” because Biden has serially committed acts of unwanted touching in public. We have countless videos of Biden making women and children uncomfortable with inappropriate hair-sniffing, nuzzling, kissing, and getting handsy.
Now, however, Reade tells a much more lurid and disturbing story of being sexually assaulted by Biden. While working for the then-Delaware Senator while in her mid-20s, she says he cornered her in a hallway, thrust his hands up her skirt, penetrated her vagina, and when she objected, he said something to the effect of, “Come on, I heard you like me,”
From Fox News [3]:
The Biden campaign once again pointed to a statement by Bedingfield that said: “What is clear about this claim: it is untrue. This absolutely did not happen.”
“Vice President Biden has dedicated his public life to changing the culture and the laws around violence against women,” Bedingfield said. “He authored and fought for the passage and reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act. He firmly believes that women have a right to be heard — and heard respectfully. Such claims should also be diligently reviewed by an independent press.”
If Reade’s allegation of rape is clearly not true, why then the ocean of silence from the usual media-political suspects? Why has Slow Joe not released his senatorial records?
The fact, albeit not the specifics, of Reade’s allegation have been known to both CNN and the media in general, since August of 1993. As the allegation broke no the Larry King Show, CNN must have investigated the story. Only the guilty party who farted in Church on Easter Sunday would have less comment.
More on CNN, from Fox News [4]:
CNN has largely ignored Reade’s claims, drawing criticism from media watchdogs that often contrast it with how the liberal network handled allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh with hundreds of stories and countless segments. CNN finally published its first story on Reade’s claims on April 17, weeks after they were made, when correspondent MJ Lee framed the story as Democratic leaders and allies of Biden being “asked to respond to an allegation” against the 2020 Democratic frontrunner.
According to one analysis, CNN waited 24 days to cover the allegations. By contrast, the outlet published nearly 700 articles about allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh in the 19 days from when they became public to his confirmation in 2018.
To repeat, this story has been known, or should been known, to CNN since 1993. So why the silence?
To the Wayback Machine, part of Biden’s attempted high tech lynching of now Associate Justice Clarence Thomas was Anita Hill’s complaint that Thomas persisted in asking her for unwanted dates. Unlike Hill’s allegation, nothing in Reade’s allegation suggested that Slow Joe ever asked for consent.
* I am using the term Rape, rather than Reade’s description of Sexual Assault, because her description is of non-consensual vaginal penetration.
