Tara Reade Biden allegation megathread

[QAnonKelly]

All these so called "journalists" owe Biden an apology. There's a reason none of the big outlets touched this until they brought it up, this story has always had tons of holes, even without much scrutiny. Now that scrutiny has occurred, it's even worse.

I worry that despite the truth the damage has been done.

He’s fine. No real news outlet is paying this much mind bc it’s not holding up.

I think people who spend every waking moment on the internet are vastly overestimating what the electorate thinks of these allegations. The vast, vast majority rejects them.

Even the right-wing media has moved on to Obamagate nonsense.

Yeah I find it pretty interesting that in just the past 3 weeks, right-wing media has pushed "China created the virus in a lab", "Spygate", and "Obamagate" in fairly rapid succession, almost as if they know Trump is losing and are throwing everything at the wall in the hope that something sticks, but even they haven't really touched the Tara Reade allegation.

At this point, they’re just trying to throw stuff at the wall to see what’s sticking but nothing is. They know there’s no defending Trump on the merits.

I'm not gonna lie, I really don't like how some red avatars here are just trashing Reade like she came up with an entire event to trash Biden. Now, I'm not saying I believe her fully, but there was some evidence at least her 2019 claim was true, which makes sense given Biden's history in the past, but her original claim which does have some information and evidence backing it up was not directly with Biden, but with his office alone. The way some here are treating Reade is the same was that Republicans treated Kavanaugh and I really feel like that goes into slippery slope territory and I'm not really a fan of this.

It seems likely she has been manipulated by some people to continue to push a narrative against Biden and I'm not excusing her actions here at all. I'm just saying it feels like she probably has some issues she needs to take care of and is being manipulated to take them out on Biden.

Now, we can pretty much dismiss her 2020 story as being made up just to smear Biden and that is a serious issue, I'll agree to that, once this settles down then hopefully the Biden camp will expose the people behind this.

I agree with a lot of this. I think the onus is on people like Halper and Grimm who ran with the story without vetting it. Idk if they did it for personal or political reasons but there’s really no excuse for it.
