Well, someone in the media FINALLY got around to actually
asking Joe Biden about the Tara Reade sexual assault claim. He of course denied
it, which is what one would expect whether it is true or not. Since there are
no direct witnesses we will probably never really know whether it happened or
not, though unlike the Kavanaugh accusation there are a number of people who
recall being told about it at the time.
It seems to me the real story here is the painfully obvious
double standard being applied by the media, Democratic politicians and
activists, and the #MeToo community. With Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh
all were absolutely sure he was guilty even though the evidence was very, very
thin – in essence only Dr. Ford’s word. In Biden’s case, with much stronger –
though not conclusive – evidence, Democrats are obviously ducking questions (or
in Nancy Pelosi’s case, yelling at a reporter who dared ask her about it), and the
liberal media ignored the issue as long as they could, and then came out with softball
stories. Though apparently the New York Times story still wasn’t gentle enough,
so they admit that the Biden campaign convinced them to rewrite part of the story to make it
even softer. And the #MeToo community has suddenly discovered an urgent need
for “due process” which they didn’t seem to feel was needed in Kavanaugh’s
case.
I’m no fan of Donald Trump or Republicans these days, but I’m
not happy handing over the government to this bunch of hypocrites either.
