Republicans wouldn't care if Trump raped an underage girl or boy

On the White House lawn.

So I don’t care a hoot in hades about Tara Reade. As someone posted, he was Veep for 8 years why didn’t the stupid woman come forward then?

1. The best thing is to simply ignore it. We can't allow ourselves to be so cynically manipulated.

(This comment isn't meant to lessen the seriousness of sexual assault, but) These accusations are intended solely to stir up Democrats, the only people who take this sort of thing seriously. It's clear this woman is a put-up job, probably paid by GOP dirty tricksters to distract voters from the real serial sex abuser in this campaign, Donald Trump.

2. biden should memorize the names of all the women who have accused twitler.

and when someone asks, just start rattling them off.

he said story.

Ms. Reade has major credibility issues, and her story has changed multiple times.

Here is a more complete timeline of events, regarding Tara Reade’s actions toward both Joe Biden:

December 1992 — August 1993 — Tara Reade worked as a Senate aide in Joe Biden’s office.
2009 — Reade commended Biden for actions he has taken against domestic violence.
2017 — Reade repeatedly attacked Putin and Russia on Twitter for election interference and for Russian legislation that legalized domestic violence.
2017 — Reade repeatedly praised Joe Biden through tweets, retweets and “likes” on Twitter. On multiple occasions she boosts him for his work on helping end sexual assault.
2018 — Reade claims she liked Russia since she left Washington DC (Over a decade ago), and praised Putin and Russia over and over again. She also directly praised Putin for his treatment of women in multiple articles.
January of 2019 — Reade first begins talking about her sexual harassment allegations against Joe Biden on Twitter.
March, 2019 — Reade continues to praise Putin.
April, 2019 — Reade comes forward with her original allegations against Biden, but says his actions were NOT “sexualization,” but rather compared his actions toward her as being demeaning and treating her like a “pretty” lamp that is thrown away when it’s too bright. She also claimed that her story was not “a story about sexual misconduct.”
September 2019 — Reade calls on Joe Biden to be investigated for his dealings with Ukraine.
January, 2020 — Reade continues to praise Vladimir Putin on Twitter.
March, 2020 — Reade comes forward again, this time claiming that Joe Biden did sexually assault her in 1993.
March, 2020 — Reade tells Vox News that she started liking Putin and Russia in 2018 after “watching Noam Chomsky,” but no longer likes Putin after finding out about domestic violence in Russia. (note: in 2018 she claimed to have loved Russia since over a decade ago, and in 2017 she was posting tweets on her account related to Russia’s domestic violence.)

5. Going forward I'm responding to all snide remarks as "swift boating" I'm cutting people off.

Thank you for posting important timelines.

6. That's fine in my view. I just think that the argument the OP is suggesting that because trump

is worse is a terrible way to argue this. It indirectly "normalizes" sexual assault

Because of the curious timing, and changing renditions from Ms. Reade, it implies more a political strategy from certain circles, then actual concern for sexual assault, and I agree, it is a form of "swift boating", especially since a year ago was the time to bring this up

11. This is NOT the argument you want to make

many women don't report their rapes or sexual assaults for years for many reasons.

1 sexual assult is bad enough.

I think her changing story is more of an issue.

12. Abusers need enablers, and the GOP is happy to oblige.
