The double standards are quite shocking.

You can keep the act up as everyday there are MORE drum beats about this and that is your prerogative.   It's not going away.  Biden will not be the nominee.

House Democratic Caucus Chairman Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said Wednesday that sexual-assault claims against presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden should be taken “seriously” and investigated, as he called on Biden to address the allegations.

When asked about recent developments in the assault accusations leveled by Tara Reade, Jeffries told WNYC: “Itâ€s got to be taken seriously because this is a serious allegation raised by a serious individual and needs to be investigated seriously. Weâ€ve probably got to hear from him [Biden] at some point directly.”

On liberal boards it's all "Big Deal. Trump did this and that and the other, and he still won! Then there's Kavanaugh! It isn't even newsworthy anymore!"

WTF is wrong with these hypocrites? (rhetorical)

I would not be surprised to see the squad jump on board rather quickly

It's a perfect storm for Trump and republicans as the dems are ripped to shreds over this.  It builds everyday.

Biden can't afford to say a word in defense.  IF he does Reade fires back and now ALL the media HAS to cover what he said and then her counter to him.  THIS is a monster for the dem party and it's sitting in the front room of Joe Biden.  Trump nor Kavanagh has this kinda of accusation.

AND, right on cue....here comes the #METOO bunch.

Joe is sunk.

Earlier Wednesday, The New York Times rebuked the Biden campaign, telling Fox News that the campaign was apparently circulating talking points to top Democrats that "inaccurately" described the paper's reporting. The talking points falsely claimed that the Times had disproven Reade's accusations, when it actually found some corroboration.
Business Insider, The Intercept, and Newsbusters have separately found additional contemporaneous corroboration for Reade's claims, including footage showing Reade's mother calling into "Larry King Live" to discuss an incident involving her daughter and a prominent senator.

The Times had earlier stealth-edited its coverage of the Biden accusations at the request of the Biden campaign. The paper specifically removed a section of its reporting referring to numerous other episodes in which Biden was accused of inappropriate touching -- including one instance in which he was caught on camera touching young girls and making them visibly uncomfortable.
"I think that the [Biden] campaign thought that the phrasing was awkward and made it look like there were other instances in which he had been accused of sexual misconduct," The Times' executive editor, Dean Baquet, admitted the day after the article was published.
According to a copy of the Times' article saved by the Internet archive Wayback Machine, the Times originally reported: "No other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the course of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members corroborate any details of Ms. Readeâ€s allegation. The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable."
That paragraph now reads: "No other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the course of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members corroborate any details of Ms. Readeâ€s allegation. The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden."
Baquet also struggled to explain why his paper had waited weeks to even report on Reade's allegations. Baquet implied that Kavanaugh was urgently in the public spotlight, while Biden -- who was locking up the Democratic presidential nomination as Reade's claim surfaced -- somehow was not in the public eye.
"Kavanaugh was already in a public forum in a large way," Baquet said. "Kavanaugh was in a very different situation. It was a live, ongoing story that had become the biggest political story in the country. It was just a different news judgment moment."
Biden has previously said he would change his interactions with women going forward, but stopped short of apologizing for his conduct.

Social norms are changing. I understand that, and Iâ€ve heard what these women are saying. Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. Thatâ€s my responsibility and I will meet it.
