Tara Reade explains past praise for Biden, cryptic ‘tic toc’ tweet she made before coming forward
By Fox News, May 9, 2020
Story continues below advertisementTara Reade addressed her past praise for former Vice President Joe Biden during an interview released on Friday, as well as a cryptic message on Twitter that has drawn the attention of skeptics of Reade’s claim that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993.
Reade went public with her assault claim against Biden in late March. Last year, she was one of several women to come forward and accuse the presumptive Democratic nominee of unwanted touching. However, Reade’s past social media activity, including her positive responses to Biden’s activism on behalf of sex assault victims, raised eyebrows.
“As recently as 2017, you were praising Joe Biden publicly,” interviewer Megyn Kelly.
“Right,” Reade acknowledged.
“And I think that has a lot of people scratching their heads, right?” Kelly continued. “On multiple occasions, you retweeted or liked online praise for Joe Biden and his work combatting sexual assault. There was a compliment you tweeted about him saying, ‘My old boss speaks truth. Listen.’
“I mean, it is true that women do sometimes praise men who have sexually harassed or abused them,” Kelly added, “but why would you publicly praise Joe Biden for actions on sexual assault when you claim that’s what he did to you?”
“Well, one thing during that time- I’m an expert witness on domestic violence issues, as you know, so that was, like an account, you know, part of that awareness of domestic violence and other violent acts,” Reade responded, alluding to a past marriage to an abusive husband. “I’ve always been conflicted about Joe Biden. I didn’t want to talk badly about him and I wasn’t ready to tell my history with Joe Biden at that point at all. And nor [did I have] any idea of going to the press at that point. It wasn’t until 2019 when I saw Lucy Flores and the way the media treated her … I felt like I wanted to come forward.”

Tara Reade is telling the truth. Lies lack detail, and any details change in the re-telling. All professional interrogators know this. And in contrast, Tara Reade produces a mountain of profoundly detailed, credible information. Essentially, Biden was stalking her from the moment he laid eyes on her, until he cornered her. And the nuances of his behavior then, are identical to his behavior now. He still has the same MO now, from inappropriate comments and touching, to unwanted fondling, to opportunistic assault.
Example of lies: the Kavanaugh accusers, with their vague, often illogical, un-detailed, ever-changing stories.

Situational ethics fits right in with the left’s double standard. Those who refuse to attribute any truth or veracity to Tara Reade’s claims are the very same ones who believed every word of the slander against Brett Kavanaugh the instant it was uttered.
They never even questioned sleaze ball Avenatti and that phony “witness” he dug up.

I have little doubt this assault occurred, but it is obvious from the context including this interview it’s all a well-planned strategy by Hillary to remove Bidet from the nomination and allow her to emerge as the savior of the party going into November. Bidet has always been a proxy for Hillary whether he realizes it or not. The CCP wants Hillary in the White House and has ordered its minions and agents in the US to spend billions to put her there. Their takeover of the US will be complete as she will hand them the keys to our nation. That’s the plan folks and what are we going to do about it? Tell me.

Megyn Kelly, now that is someone I WOULD NEVER WATCH OR LISTEN TO. But, it does sound to me that SOMEONE in Law Enforcement is NOT doing their job! And, Americans wonder why LE does not like them.

Any person younger or adult having been violated depending on degree of that violation, circumstance with their personality will react and behave differently.
People that have no understanding of these things then have no place judging those individuals lest it happen to them to then know.
1 out of 4 girls under 18 yrs old are victims of such and 1 out of 7 boys are also not leave out some women are also abusers of both along with some men and even some younger people.
This of course also occurs after that age and is why sexual harassment or worse unwanted touching, assualt or outright forciable rape in one way or another harms that individual and alters their perceptions and outlook afterwards for LIFE.
This is difficult for most people to endure without closure and Reads had none.
After being “dismissed” by her “superior’s she was drifting in uncertain seas of doubt, guilt, anger and disillusionment as to her own worth as a person.
Many such persons hit their 40’s and commit suicide and no one knows why.
Biden has “escaped” actual seen unwanted touching and likely more unseen.
He is not now going to feel guilty but entitled unless caught on video to face real scrutiny.
Reade isn’t now trying now to charge him criminally but doing it for her own closure for being personally violated.
As did Paula Jones in forcing Clinton to face his actions.
Had that assault on Reade been on video and put in the right hands Biden would’ve been done then.
But it was’t so she’s had to hide in the shadows of her own worth as a person not valuable enuff to be allowed justice;
the man was a U.S. Senator now running for President.
Had it been the teenage daughter of one of his other aids and caught in the act with the girl totally distraught he’d have gone to prison for the same thing.right then.
