Biden Campaign Provides Documents to Dispute Eva Murry Sexual Harassment Allegation

[pnwmom]

Source: Law and Crime

On May 1, Eva Murry came forward to allege that former vice president and presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden sexually harassed her at a dinner in 2008. Law&Crime published her account (which has now been updated) along with corroborating witnesses who asserted that she had shared the details with them. Thirty-six hours later, the Biden campaign responded and denied that allegation by providing a series of documents that cast doubt on one of the key specifics of Murry's allegation.

Murry had alleged the incident occurred at the First State Gridiron Dinner & Show in 2008 when Biden was still a senator from Delaware. He had recently stopped running for president but had not yet been chosen by then Sen. Barack Obama to be his running mate. A PDF version of Biden's senatorial schedule for Saturday, May 3, 2008, the date of the dinner in question, has now been shared with Law&Crime and is sub-headlined with the phrase "REGRETS IN DELAWARE."

The specific entry for the event in question notes:
6:00 PM 17th Annual First State Gridiron Dinner & Show - Chase Center
Cocktails on the Riverfront - Wilmington - BLACK TIE - JOHN TO ATTEND
According to this schedule, a staffer named "John" attended the dinner in lieu of Biden himself.

The next document provided by Biden's campaign to dispute Murry's claim is the Sunday, May 4, 2008 edition of The News Journal out of Wilmington, Delaware.

The 26 year old woman who made the claim is the niece of Christine O'Donnell, a Republican politician in the state, who claimed to have witnessed the event.

Eva Murry, the 26 year old, still insists it happened at the GridIron dinner in 2008, but her aunt Christine now suggests maybe it was in 2007. However, Biden didn't attend that dinner either.

1. .......

Now file charges against the people that started this smear campaign.........seriously........

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

13. You would think that Roger Stone is still on a free man...

... oops, he is. Still sitting at home awaiting his prison induction.

[qazplm135]

2. seems simple enough

if he was there, someone should have some evidence.

The fact that there isn't, means he wasn't even ignoring the schedule.

[rzemanfl]

3. Wait, if she is 26, in 2008 she'd have been how old? n/t

[dawg day]

4. 14 -- and she was supposed to have been invited to the Gridiron dinner???

And Christine O'Donnell-- wasn't she the witch one?

[pnwmom]

6. Yes, it's that Christine. Their story is she often took young relatives to these events. n/t

[George II]

12. But 14-year olds were not permitted at events like this, especially black-tie events.

[pnwmom]

15. Interesting. I haven't seen that anywhere else. n/t

[rzemanfl]

7. I was going to extend the benefit of the doubt and say maybe 15.

These stories are such utter bullshit. Who sexually harasses teens? Teen boys, guys who "hang themselves" in prison, other pimps, and the orange dude who owned the pageant. Oh, and pedophiles, not Joe Biden though.

[mopinko]

5. i often use the subject- file under- how the blue do it

on my fb page. i recently added- file under- dont piss off the artists, and file under- set point for your bullshit detectors.

if we cant tune them up, we all die. period. ferrealz.

[weissmam]

8. Given the obvious , i Think its time to sue

he wasn't there

[luvtheGWN]

29. Sure, but how do you sue for stupidity?

These recent attacks on Biden seem to be perpetrated by some really stupid people. OTOH, perhaps they are being made simply because they hope some of the slime sticks.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

9. Considering that tRump is a known serial sex abuser, this effort to paint Joe as one....

must surely be an attempt by the GOP's never-Trumpers to shift Rethug votes to Joe to oust tRump......


May as well start a few conspiracy theories to match those from the right......

It is notable that for many deplorables, Trump could commit sexual assault in broad daylight on 5th Avenue and they would cheer him on.

I'm perfectly comfortable that VP Biden will fight and win against these accusations but it's a crying shame the public is being distracted from the real political issues we're facing today.

[Joinfortmill]

10. There need to be consequences for false allegations and

for publishing false allegations. Enough of this. Women and men suffer every day with real harassment and assault. This shit is an outrage.

[George II]

11. "Law and Crime" (hah!) has since deleted their tweet an apologized for the blatant error!

[pnwmom]

19. Good!

[Cha]

24. Yes, Good! We've come a long way

since last night.

[yellowcanine]

25. Yeah but they still have some 'splainin' to do, imo.

This should have been very easy to check. "I'm sorry" is not good enough for what purports to be a news source. At the least, someone needs to be fired.

[weissmam]

14. This also means the GOP is really really scared

They are getting desperate

[SunSeeker]

20. Yup. nt

[WhoWoodaKnew]

16. All Republicans are trying to do is take away Biden's major advantage (Trump is a cheating pervert)

It will probably work on a lot of dumb people.

[dreamland]

17. They need to sue for defamation of character in order to keep

..charges like these from coming up over and over again. The more mud they fling, the more thedia will amplify it whethner its true or not. And the deplorables do not look at evidence, they care only about what can make him look bad.

[blakstoneranger]

18. TRUMP'S MONEY IS ALL OVER THIS

Surely we're not going to fall for this.....

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. After this, I feel sorry for women who come forward with future legitimate complaints of....

harassment & abuse. This is not going well for the accusers so far.

[Frustratedlady]

22. The Republicans are getting sloppy with their smears.

One thing you can depend on, they never quit trying and almost always use sexual issues in some manner. Never fails.

[Cha]

23. It hard to believe someone would be so stupid to lie

and accuse someone of this without checking to see if they were really at the event, since they didn't actually see Biden there.

26. Eva honey... there's easier ways to get people talking about your boobs

seems that this is her goal.

If her boobs were really that extraordinary, she'd have a Faux News show already.

Keep trying darling, maybe OAN will call

[bhusar]

27. Biden has been open

Biden has been open with all of this, and The Intercept people are tripling down on all of this. Everytime a new allegation is proven to be a lie, they get more forceful with it on Twitter. I had to delete Twitter and I’ll get my news from DU. Joe can only do so much, other forces need to come out just as strong with the counter to take over the narrative. Speaking of which, isn’t it strange all of this was pushed after Trump embarrassed himself suggesting we use disinfectant? We are no longer talking about that and Covid-19.

[CanonRay]

28. Funny how this one comes out of the woodwork

just as the other allegation is DOA

[rhiannon55]

30. Well of course! Christine O'Donnell is up to her shenanigans again.

I had, blessedly, almost forgotten that awful woman, but I looked her up and all her sleaziness slapped me in the face again. She is a piece of work. I'm sure she's involved in this latest attempt to take down Biden.
