Moscow Mitch says Biden will have to release more information surrounding Tara Reade allegation

Mitch McConnell said Thursday that Joe Biden will likely have to "participate in releasing all of the information related to" the allegations of sexual assault from former Biden staffer Tara Reade.

Though the Senate majority leader has not made the same request for the dozen-plus sexual assault allegations leveled at President Donald Trump, McConnell (R-Ky.) said that the Reade allegation is fair game. Reade claims that Biden assaulted her in 1993; Biden's campaign has denied the allegation but the vice president has yet to address it directly himself.

On Fox News, McConnell was asked if Biden's papers at the University of Delaware should be released to offer more information about the alleged incident. McConnell and Biden worked closely together during Biden's time as vice president on fiscal matters.

"When you run for president of the United States your life is an open book and I can't imagine that Vice President Biden isn't going to have to participate in releasing all of the information related to the allegations," McConnell said. "It's a very challenging thing to run for president. And I think everyone that's done that has realized their entire life is opened up to scrutiny. And I think that's happening to Vice President Biden and they shouldn't be surprised."

years, some of whom have stepped forward already. Since this hasn't happened, then why should Biden do so (If such a thing ever even happened, which I seriously doubt). What a hypocrite...when your life is an open book then all information should be released...blah blah blah. Well, lets count, trump owes up stuff on his finances, his tax returns, his settlements w/ women he's attacked in the past, his loans to every entity that he owes money to, etc. I'm sure the list is longer since I'm sure I've overlooked something.

It's just election ginning up of whatever they think will harm Biden. Trump would have to release everything before Biden should give it any thought. I picture Biden laughing after reading any request.

Timing is suspicious, much?

McTurtle should be the last person to give a response to releasing documents concerning sexual assault matters especially 1) shithole; 2) Kavanaugh.

Also, I'm pretty sure this statement will wake up the sexual assaults and complaints against shithole. This man has no morals.

I hear those things are all optional these days and if you don't want to appear or give the documents, you don't have to.

And the same man who has forced himself on young women at Epstein’s parities?

While Joe Biden has always held himself with dignity and respect towards women?


This is such an obvious right wing hit job with help from Putin and MF45’s campaign to deviate from the failure of his response to CV19.
