Former Biden Staffer Files Police Report Accusing Him of Sexual Assault
A former staffer for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has filed a lawsuit accusing him of sexual assault in 1993.
The complaint, filed last week with police in the District of Columbia, was first reported on by Business Insider.
Tara Reade told the outlet that she told police Biden assaulted her in the U.S. Capitol when she was a staffer for him in the early 1990s. Biden, vice president from 2008 to 2016, was a U.S. senator for decades starting in 1973.
“I filed it because I had been harassed so badly last April,” Reade, 56, said, referring to when she first made the allegation against Biden, 77.
“I also wanted to make it clear that I would be willing to go under oath or cooperate with any law enforcement regarding it, because it did happen. Even if it was 26 years ago,” she said.
“He’s a
totally corrupt swamp thing, and here’s the worst part of his manifest
corruption – he doesn’t seem to realize that he’s corrupt, if not personally
than in terms of allowing his bum kid to leverage his position. He thinks it’s A-OK for his boy Hoover to cash in
all over the globe. After all, that’s what you do, right? That’s part of the
benefits package for being in the liberal elite. And all these people fussing
and fighting about the paternity test-failing dirtbag getting rich are totally
out of line. How dare they? HOW DARE THEY!”

Joe Biden? Seriously?
The
establishment narrative on Joe Biden is, to put it mildly, malarkey. Gropey J
actually is everything the liberals accuse Donald Trump of being – bizarre,
vulgar, dumb, corrupt, incompetent, and utterly unfit to be president. But yet
the Creepy Veepy is so much more. In the last month, this totally not-senile,
not-at-all-weird guy has assembled a track record of freaky behavior that would
put mid-eighties Crispin
Glover to
shame.
Let’s
review…
Corn Pop
is old news. Biden’s latest rambling onion-on-the-belt monologue was something about
little kids at a pool rubbing his leg hair or something – it’s so random I’m
not even linking to it. There’s no best-case scenario here – he’s just creepy.
Then, for
no other reason than I guess he felt like a snack, he started gnawing on his
wife’s fingers in public and on camera. You know, like people do. You wonder
what the thought process there was…
“Hey,
sure are lots of cameras…gosh, I’m kind of hungry…oh look, an index finger.
Yum.”
I’m a little
surprised he didn’t pull out a packet of ketchup.
But the
best part was when some guy pointed out that, you know, Biden’s loser son Lil’
Crackpipe is the poster child for corruption and Sane Joe started spazzing out
and calling him “fat” and challenging him to a push-up contest for some reason.
This is
just odd. And this is the candidate who, amazingly, is still in the lead for
the Democrat nomination.
And then
there’s the groping females thing. He still does it occasionally, though the
media does its best to curtail coverage of his lecherous creeping. Do you
believe there’s any chance at all that he is not going to, at some point, have
some horrifying incident with some female at the White House, you know, like
grabbing the Queen for a hug n’ rub, or walking absent-mindedly into the press
room in a flapping robe with Little Joe and the gang in effect?
And let’s
be charitable. No one has ever called Joe Biden “smart.” Well, maybe as a joke.
The fact is that he’s a 40-watt guy in a 100-watt world. Haters say Trump is
dumb, but he is demonstrably not dumb. The thing about Trump is that because
our garbage elite hates him it tends to ascribe all possible negative
characteristics to him regardless of whether they apply. Trump is cunning,
crafty and has a keen sense of strategy. You may dislike him, but that does not
change the fact that alone, against the full force of the elite and its media
serfs, he prevailed and continues to prevail. If Trump, who managed to figure
out that it would be a good idea to campaign in Wisconsin, is dumb, what does
that make Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit and the sobbing losers who supported
her?
No one
can seriously argue that Joe Biden is smart, and no one does. They’ll either
call you “racist” or start complaining about Trump. But you won’t get anyone
comparing the former veep to Stephen Hawking. They just sort of elide past his
staggering stupidity, perhaps hoping that whoever he picks for his veep will
give him a rubber ball to play with and lock him in an Oval Office closet when
it's time to do some presidenting.
He’s a
totally corrupt swamp thing, and here’s the worst part of his manifest
corruption – he doesn’t seem to realize that he’s corrupt, if not personally
than in terms of allowing his bum kid to leverage his position. He thinks it’s A-OK for his boy Hoover to cash in
all over the globe. After all, that’s what you do, right? That’s part of the
benefits package for being in the liberal elite. And all these people fussing
and fighting about the paternity test-failing dirtbag getting rich are totally
out of line. How dare they? HOW DARE THEY!
Understand
that Biden sees nothing wrong with this. Nothing. And that means there will be
exponentially more of it. Hell, the useless DoJ under Trump won’t prosecute
obvious graft. Do you think a DoJ that’s thrilled to have a fellow traveler
back in the White House is going to root out Biden's business badness? You do?
Well, then meet my unicorn Chet.
And
SloJoe is utterly incompetent. This is the guy who thought they should let bin
Laden skate. As Robert Gates, no Trumpie, said, "I think he has been
wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the
past four decades.”
This is
the guy who wants to take your doctor, again, and impose another brilliant
healthcare reform idea, again – all designed to unscrew the last big healthcare
reform the Democrats passed, which he praised as “a big [vulgarity] deal.”
He wants
to obey that tiresome Swedish teenager’s commands to sacrifice at the altar of
the weird weather cult. He wants to appoint all Hawaiian and Scat Franciscan
judges.
He
wants to raise taxes, open the borders, let you pay for illegal aliens’ sex
changes, and spark a civil war by taking guns from the people who don’t commit crimes.
When you
think of a calm, steady, wise presence guiding the nation, you do not think of
Joe Biden, though that’s what is allegedly needed to end the nightmare of the
Trump presidency – you know, the record job numbers and the lack of stupid new
wars. You think of Obama and Stumbles McMyturn, only dumber and touchier.
Just
recently, Biden’s campaign ran an ad alleging that foreigners were “laughing”
at Donald Trump. Is there any Democrat anywhere who takes America’s side in a
dispute with malicious aliens? In any case, those tin pot euroweenies had
plenty to cry about – Donald Trump has forced them to pay up for NATO. Of
course, that will end too if Joe takes office. We’ll return to business as
usual – the business as usual of being shafted for the benefit of the global
bigshots.
Basically,
we’ll get rid of all the peace and prosperity that Trump has brought and get
back to normal – that is, people like us being plundered by the garbage elite.
Trump has
a track record of success, and Democrats hate him. Joe has a track record of failure,
corruption, and creepiness. Well, I guess we know why the Democrats seem to love him.
It’s out
now, my new novel Collapse, the action-packed yet hilarious
sequel to People's Republic, Indian Country and Wildfire. Friendless loser Never Trumpers
hate it, so you’ll love it.

And here's the biggest laugh of all: the Democrat party's
only hope is a confused old man whose corruption is oozing into
the
open only because the Democrats wagered everything on
impeaching President Trump.
The Democratic
Party Is Wounded and Dangerous
Beware the wounded animal. In
pain and desperation, it will do violent things. It seems to me no
coincidence that Joe Biden's big win on Super Tuesday was followed by
Democratic senator Chuck Schumer threatening conservative members of the
Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Joe Biden is hardly Lancelot to President
Trump's dragon. The Democrats and the Deep State needed a
first-class warrior; instead, their best option is a walking advertisement for
Alzheimer's awareness. In his
best days, Joe Biden was the political equivalent of Jack McCall, shooting his
adversaries in the back. When he wasn't using his position of power
for financial gain or stealing other people's words, he was helping his family
line their own pockets. Today, he's a disoriented and stumbling
shell of an unimportant political hack who looks on in confusion while his wife
does his fighting for him. If you've ever wondered what happens to the shriveled soul
of a lifetime liar and Democratic swindler, just cast your eyes upon Old
Joe. He's a walking, talking effigy of Democratic corruption and
amorality. He's what the Democratic Party usually keeps far off
the main stage for the back-alley entertainment; now he's the main event, but
no amount of stick-prodding by Donna Brazile or Tom Perez is going to turn Joe
Biden into Fred Astaire. He's a freak-show carnival attraction at
best, amazing onlookers by his ability to occasionally jumble audible words together
into a sentence. The Democrats needed a man who could command a
movement; all they got was a man who can barely control his own.
I'm not saying President Trump's
re-election is in the bag. Far from it. We've never seen
such an array of villains acting in concert to take down an American
president. The Democratic Party has most of the permanent
bureaucratic Deep State (as well as stealthy anti-Trump Republicans), Wall Street, Russia, Iran, China,
Venezuela, cosmopolitan Europe, global warming doomsayers, the Middle East's
worst terrorists, and domestic Antifa terrorists here at home all actively
working to dislodge President Trump from the White House. In the past, the chiefs of our
intelligence agencies and clandestine services retired into relative obscurity,
cognizant that duty commanded their silent withdrawal into the pages of
history. After orchestrating a coup against the American president,
however, it is not unusual to see the former heads of Obama's CIA, FBI, and NSC
all tirelessly justifying their criminal acts on cable news each
night. The corporate news media and institutional government have
spent years trying to gin up enough hysteria in the nation that mock beheadings
of the president and ritual re-enactments of his assassination during summer
theater might lead the American people to clamor for the real thing.
So, no, the 2020 election will not be
over until all the votes have been counted on November 3, and it becomes clear
that we have successfully preserved Western civilization for at least a little
while longer from this most recent manifestation of Vienna's bloody 1683
siege. All I am saying is that Joe
Biden was never meant to be the establishment's champion for resurrecting their
oligarchic power. They
wanted a formidable presidential nominee, someone who could check all the right
identity politics boxes while stringing words together that were substantively
meaningless while singularly inspiring. Instead, they're settling
for a politician past his expiration date who sounds less crème de la crème and
more soused in crème de menthe. The Democratic Party may depend on
dead voters to win elections, but running dead candidates is another thing
altogether.
So just because the cable news anchors
and Carville clones are all high-fiving each other and cheering for managing to
narrowly prevent a communist disciple of Stalin and Castro from sewing up the
Democratic nomination for president by the beginning of March, don't forget how
disappointed they are at heart. If Biden goes on to clinch the
nomination, the Democratic Party will have managed to take all the aloof,
plain, manila-folder blandness of John Kerry and combine it with the alertness
and energy of a nursing home after pill rounds. This is the one whom
the commentariat is celebrating right now, the guy Obama and the gang blocked
from running in 2016 because they felt him not quite up for the challenge when
he was four years younger. The vice president during the slowest economic recovery since the
Great Depression, the wordsmith who marveled at Obama for being strangely
"articulate" for a black guy, and the obtrusive shoulder-rubber whose
chief political instinct was to sniff the hair of the wives and daughters of
White House officials and visiting dignitaries. Imagine being in such dire straits
because the previous Democratic president so hollowed out the party's future by
losing over a thousand elected officials across the country during his time in
office that the last, great hope to beat President Trump this year is just
hoping to make it to bed each afternoon before saying something so
inappropriate or illogical or ridiculous that Red Bernie becomes the Democrat's
Dear Leader by default. For every minute of his few wakeful hours,
his handlers have to be on constant guard against the possibility that a voice
in Biden's head will scream, "Oh, look, a young child with
wonderful-smelling hair." "Comeback
Joe"? More like "Come back, Joe!"
The Democrats and the Deep State have
spent the last four years constructing the greatest wag-the-dog spectacle
America's ever seen in an attempt to cover up the malfeasance and criminality
of the last administration, while preventing the current one from achieving too
many victories. Considering that
Brennan and Comey are still free and Obama and Hillary are still smiling,
they've been remarkably successful. But the Mueller obfuscation and Schiff circus are behind us,
the dance music of delay is dying down, and the Democrats' and Deep State's
ability to keep pushing back their day of reckoning is coming to an
end. If they don't win in 2020, they cannot keep justice at bay,
regardless of how stacked in their favor it has always been in the
past. And standing in the gap as their last-ditch prospect to save
them from President Trump's re-election and spare them from long delayed
judgment is none other than Corn Pop's archenemy. The one
"reasonable" Democrat in the race who has already burnished his
"moderate" credentials by fully embracing Bernie's Green New Deal,
Warren's Medicare for All, and Beto's door-to-door gun
confiscation. Nothing says "electable centrist Democrat"
like "D'oh!" Biden's full tilt toward Marxist
socialism. No wonder Chuck Schumer sounds like some injured animal
in the forest, lashing out at tree branches all around him. That's
what small, weak, dying creatures do when they know the end is near.
Biden Accused of Sexual Assault
And the eerie - and expected - silence of #MeToo.
March 30, 2020
Joseph
Klein
Former Vice President Joe Biden
admitted back in December 2018 that "I am a gaffe machine." That’s a
gross understatement, to say the least. The Democrat establishment and the
mainstream media continue to treat Biden’s endless stream of gaffes as just
harmless patter from good old Uncle Joe. His supporters make excuses for
Biden’s obvious mental decline and lash out at anyone who expresses concerns
about his fitness to take on the rigors of the presidency. Now, however, they
are circling the wagons after a story recently emerged that Joe Biden allegedly committed sexual assault against a
former staffer, Tara Reade, when Biden was a vigorous 50 year-old senator.
The Biden campaign has denied the allegation, claiming “these accusations are false.”
Other women had come forward previously to report inappropriate touching by
Biden. But Ms. Reade’s allegation shines a much harsher light on Biden’s
possible predatory sexual behavior against one or more females on his staff.
Joe Biden is a self-professed
champion of women who has supported the #MeToo movement’s presumption of guilt
against the accused. “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of
focus, nationally,” Biden said during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s
Senate confirmation hearing, “you’ve got to start off with the presumption that
at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she
forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time.” Now
Biden himself stands accused of sexually assaulting Tara Reade in 1993.
"He said 'come on man, I heard you liked me,'" Ms. Reade told an
interviewer. “I couldn't believe it was happening. It was surreal."
According to Ms. Reade, Biden kissed her without her consent, proceeded to push
her up against a wall, and used his fingers to penetrate her. Afterwards, Ms. Reade said, “He took his finger. He just like pointed at me and said you’re
nothing to me.” There presumably were no witnesses to the alleged assault,
although Ms. Reade’s brother and friend recall her contemporaneous account of
the incident.
There has not been a word of
support for Biden’s accuser from the Democratic Party establishment, #MeToo
activists, and the mainstream media who want to see President Trump defeated no
matter what it takes. Most media outlets have either ignored or buried the
story, with a few limited exceptions. A staff writer for The Atlantic even tried
to discredit Ms. Reade when she first came
forward with allegations of Biden’s inappropriate touching. But even worse, a
prominent #MeToo advocacy group rejected Ms. Reade’s pleas for help, throwing its
high-minded claims of defense of sexual assault victims to the wolves in order
to save Joe Biden’s hide.
The Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund boasts of its support for “the brave individuals who have come
forward, at great risk to themselves, to seek the justice they deserve and to
protect others” from sexual harassment. It claims that it helps to pay legal
costs for alleged victims and that it connects people to and helps pay for “media
and storytelling assistance.” Tara Reade contacted the organization in January
seeking its help in bringing to light her allegation against Biden. Time’s Up
said no. Time Up’s justification was that it feared losing its nonprofit status
if it assisted in a case against a candidate for federal office. But if we look
behind the curtain, we find a web of clear conflicts of interest that may well
explain why Ms. Reade was rebuffed. “While all of this was out between Reade
and Time’s Up,” Breitbart reported, the Biden campaign’s relationship with a public relations firm,
which was also closely associated with Time’s Up, “was taking on a new
dimension.”
Anita Dunn is both a senior
adviser on the Biden campaign and the Managing Director at the SKDKnickerbocker
public relations firm. Hilary Rosen is a Biden surrogate, who was also involved
in the founding of Time’s Up and is a partner in SKDKnickerbocker. SKDKnickerbocker helped launch the publicity for Time’s Up Legal
Defense Fund. On the website describing
how victims of sexual harassment can get in touch with the Time’s Up Legal
Defense Fund for media assistance, the victims are told that, after they fill
out a form, “SKDKnickerbocker (SKDK), public relations firm that works with the
Fund, will email you to set up an evaluation over the phone. If the TIME’S UP
Legal Defense Fund is able to offer you media assistance, SKDK will match you
with a public relations firm in our Network.”
However, SKDKnickerbocker not
only works with the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund but also for the Biden
campaign. SKDK has received $881,740 from the Biden for President
organization between June 25, 2019 and
February 27, 2020, according to Federal Election Commission filings. The Biden
campaign paid the vast bulk of this money – slightly in excess of $806,000 - in
January and February of 2020. This sum is more than 10 times the amount that
Biden’s campaign paid SKDKnickerbocker between June and December 2019. Tara
Reade received the final word that the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund would not
provide her with funding or public relations support in her case on February 11th.
It doesn’t take a genius to connect the dots.
Joe Biden is entitled to due
process and deserves the presumption of innocence, which is more than he was
willing to grant to Justice Kavanaugh. However, he is not entitled to be
protected by a wall of silence, which is what his friends in the Democratic establishment
and the media are doing by covering for him. Senator Kamala Harris, for
example, endorsed Biden after she quit the presidential race. She is said to be
on the short list of Biden’s potential running mates. Harris was among Justice
Kavanaugh’s most strident critics when she sat in judgment on the Senate
Judiciary Committee. Harris also released a campaign ad during her run for
president accusing President Trump of being a “sexual predator.” Yet when it
came to Tara Reade’s accusation against Biden of sexual predatory behavior, she
says she contacted Senator Harris’s office but has received no response. As
Brad Polumbo wrote in the Washington
Examiner, if Harris does not immediately denounce Biden in light of
Tara Reade’s accusation, she is little more than a “conniving politician
willing to disregard due process for her political opponents, but not her
allies.”
Tara Reade also claims to have
received a brushoff from Senator Elizabeth Warren’s office, which told her
simply to contact her local representative. Warren had said that one of her key
reasons for opposing Justice Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation involved
the allegations of sexual assault he was accused of. Yet her office found no
time on Warren’s calendar for her to hear personally what Ms. Reade had to say
about Joe Biden’s alleged sexual assault.
When Justice Kavanaugh was
facing unsubstantiated allegations of sexual assault, Warren made an impassioned plea on the Senate
floor on behalf of survivors of sexual
assault. She said that many of them do not come forward because they “believe
they won't be heard or taken seriously, or they think more about the impact on
the perpetrator than their own safety and well-being, or they think the people
with power - the ones who can actually do something - will instead 'plow right
through’ them. We never hear the stories of millions of sexual assault
survivors. But some make the very difficult and personal decision to come
forward and tell their stories. They, like all survivors, are courageous, and
they deserve to be heard and treated with respect. Not dismissed, not attacked,
not threatened.”
Tara Reade finally worked up
the courage to come forward with her story of sexual assault. Unfortunately for
the rally around Biden crowd, it pointed directly to the current presumed
Democratic nominee for president. But Joe Biden’s connections have helped him
‘plow right through’ Tara Reade’s story. She was rebuffed by a leading #MeToo
advocacy group with close ties to the Biden campaign. She has been vilified or
simply ignored in the mainstream media and by faux feminist politicians. Biden,
meanwhile, continues to hold forth on what he would do as president, including
with respect to the coronavirus. CNN gave him airtime last Friday night in a
televised town hall. CNN listed 5 takeaways from the town hall. Tara Reade’s allegation was not among
them.
If Joe Biden does become the
Democratic nominee for president, it will be up to the voters to decide what
weight to give to Ms. Reade’s story. If true, it should add further doubts
regarding Joe Biden’s character, on top of questions about his current mental
condition. The jury is still out on what the former vice president may have
done while he was the Obama administration’s point man in Ukraine to run
interference for Burisma. This highly corrupt Ukrainian firm was under
investigation by the Ukrainian prosecutor who Biden caused to be fired while
his son Hunter was on Burisma’s board.
Joe Biden likes to speak of
restoring the soul of the nation. First, it appears that he has some serious
repair work to do with his own soul. He can start by coming clean.
