Politico: New evidence surfaces in Tara Reade allegation against Biden
Please don't shoot me - I'm just the messenger. I wasn't going to post this when it was on the Intercept only, but now that it's on Politico I figured we can't really bury our heads in the sand. Curious on people's thoughts. The mother didn't mention anything about a sexual assault, but it does corroborate the timing. I really hope this doesn't gain traction. I hate to discredit a woman alleging sexual assault, but the timing just feels too convenient.
A 1993 video has surfaced that appears to show the mother of Tara Reade, the former aide to Joe Biden who has accused him of sexual assault, talking about "problems" her daughter faced on CNN’s "Larry King Live."
As first reported by the Intercept, an unnamed woman from San Luis Obispo, California, called into King's show and said, "I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington? My daughter has just left there, after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him."
Reade confirmed to POLITICO it was her mother's voice.
King asked the woman, “She had a story to tell but, out of respect for the person she worked for, she didn’t tell it?"
