Tara Reade, who credibly accused Joe Biden of sexual assault when she was one of his staff members, is worried the Biden Mafia is out to get her.
Reade tweeted a warning to followers that she is not suicidal, and that if something happens to her — meaning a strange accident in which she dies or inexplicable ailment that kills her — that “all roads lead to” Biden.
Such was the leftist mainstream media’s and feminist sisterhood’s fixation on defeating Donald Trump that they didn’t care about Reade’s allegation, made in March 2020.
With the former Biden staffer publicly expressing fear for her safety, the highly detailed account of the assault should be back in the news. But it won’t be.
The Assault
Though Reade was among the many women who accused Biden of sexual harassment, his approach to Reade didn’t involve the usual wanted touching and fetishistic sniffing. Rather, she alleged, Biden assaulted her.
It was 1993, she recalled, when a superior told her to deliver a gym bag to the hair-sniffin’ senator “down towards the Capitol.” Biden wanted the bag toot sweet, she said.
“We were in like this … side area, and he just said ‘hey, come here Tara,’” her harrowing account begins. Reade did not say where the “side area” was.
When Reade handed Biden the bag he assaulted her. “And then, we were alone, and it was the strangest thing,” she said. “There was no like, exchange, really. He just had me up against the wall.”
Reade recalled that she wore a skirt but no stockings:
He just had me up against the wall, and the wall was cold….
It happened all at once, the gym bag, I don’t know where it went, I handed it to him, it was gone, and then his hands were on me and underneath my clothes…. He went down my skirt but then up inside it, and he penetrated me with his fingers.… He was kissing me at the same time….
He said several things that I can’t remember everything he said. I remember a couple of things.… Do you want to go somewhere else?… When I pulled away, he got finished doing what he was doing, and I … pulled back, and he said, “come on, man, I heard you liked me.”
Reade was shaken. She “just felt sick,” she said. After Biden stopped the assault, he grabbed her shoulders and said “you’re OK, you’re fine, you’re OK, you’re fine.”
Then Biden added this: “You’re nothing to me.”
Though the leftist media dropped the ball, six people corroborated her story, including her mother, who called the Larry King show and mentioned the attack. Reade’s mother called King to ask where she could get help.
“I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington?” Jeanette Altimus told King:
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.
Also corroborating her story was a document in her divorce case.
“Not Suicidal”
Now, with Biden running again, Reade warns that the dirty old codger and his hitmen might be up to no good.
“I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden. Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work,” she tweeted:
I am not suicidal. I should not be under investigation nor am I a foreign agent. I am a private citizen. I was a former staffer of Joe Biden’s that has chosen to step forward to tell the truth. The tactics using intimidation and bullying to silence me and suppress me using DOJ and FBI and social media will not work. Leave me alone. I will testify under oath in Congress if asked to do so and tell what happened and what I know. The Biden corruption must end. Period Thank you @RepMTG and @mattgaetz for inviting me to testify and caring about the truth!
@RepMTG is Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
When Greene and Florida’s Gaetz invited Reade to testify before the House Oversight Committee, chief James Comer of Kentucky threw water on the idea, The Hill reported:
Comer reportedly told Politico, “I don’t even know who that is” when asked about Gaetz’s announcement of a Reade interview, and noted his committee had not made any announcement. Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) also told The Hill that he did not know anything about a Reade interview.
Still, Greene and Gaetz said there had been a conversation with Comer about interviewing Reade.
“We are going to be talking to her. I just confirmed that. There’s going to be a multiple-step process because the biggest story that we have right now is the banking records,” Greene said, in reference to records that the Oversight Committee got from the Treasury Department relating to businesses connected to Biden’s family members.
Yet even if the Oversight Committee hears Reade’s story, nothing will happen to Biden. Republicans can’t do anything about it, and Democrats won’t. They made that clear when Reade accused Biden three years ago.
Though feminists said they believed Reade, removing Trump from the White House was too important to permit her story to derail Biden’s campaign.
One leftist, the late Martin Tolchin, a founder of Politico and The Hill, said electing Biden was too important to worry about Reade.
“I don’t want justice” for Reade, he wrote. “I want a win, the removal of Donald Trump from office, and Mr. Biden is our best chance.”
Democrats simply couldn’t risk an investigation that would cripple Biden and cede the nomination to socialist crazy man Bernie Sanders, who could not have beaten Trump, Tolchin wrote:
Suppose an investigation reveals damaging information concerning his relationship with Tara Reade or something else, and Mr. Biden loses the nomination to Senator Bernie Sanders or someone else with a minimal chance of defeating Mr. Trump. Should we really risk the possibility?
Message: Reade doesn’t matter. She was, in Biden’s words, “nothing.”
We may assume that opinion among leftists is unchanged.
