Former vice president Joe Biden once again denied the accusations of sexual assault that were leveled at him by a former employee. Tara Reade worked as part of Biden’s staff back in the 1990s when he was still a senator. Last year, she came forward with accusations of inappropriate conduct against Biden. Earlier this week, Reade gave an even more graphic account of how the assault happened. Unfortunately for Reade, during the first time that she came out with her story, the mainstream media mostly ignored her. Her new account is gaining more traction but is still being ignored by most of the media.

Biden has a long history of inappropriate behavior. Lucy Flores, a politician from Nevada, said that Biden smelled her hair and kissed the back of her head during a rally back in 2014. Biden dismissed the allegations with a statement. He claimed that during all of his years that he has served as a public official, not once did he act inappropriately. His supporters excused Biden by saying that he’s an old-fashioned person who has a more physical connection with other people.

Lucy Flores’ account is what drove Reade to come forward with her own story. She saw how Flores was attacked by supporters of Biden, and she felt that her own story would give credence to what Flores was saying. She gave an interview to a local newspaper, which mostly supported what has happened to Flores.

Reade mentioned that she filed a complaint at the time and that there were witnesses. She considered her story to be solid and so was surprised when instead of being believed, she was accused of being a Russian agent or that she was paid to hurl the accusations against the former vice president. She went quiet after that because she got scared.

As the campaign went on and she saw Biden becoming the front-runner for the Democratic Party nomination, she decided to tell her full story. Reade reached out and sought help from the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, which was established in the wake of the #MeToo movement. Time’s Up eventually told her that they could not help her because they were afraid of losing funding.

That’s not the only thing that Biden has been accused of. There have been numerous instances when he was still serving as the vice president when he behaved inappropriately towards children, and it has been caught in pictures and videos. The Democrats and the media continue to defend Biden despite the mounting evidence against him.
