Tara Reade Biden allegation megathread

[Yoda]

Democrats accusing a woman of lying because it's against their guy is extremely gross. Lots of mental gymnastics from Biden supporters, and you know your side is losing when you're having to resort to things like implicating because she didn't see a counselor/follow what non-survivors may consider the "traditional" path of recovering her story is somehow less meaningful or believable.

Also, Tara being a Bernie supporter in NO WAY shape or form makes her story less plausible. Come on. Use your heads. We're supposed to be better than this.

What are these mental gymnastics you're referring to? Can you give examples?

I'm only seeing very straightforward and easily explainable reasons why people are not taking her at her word. I haven't seen any tortured reasoning.

Yeah, nothing new, there's no point in reasoning with Biden supporters who are convinced Joe's done nothing wrong despite a record of doing things wrong. Just say you don't care if he assaulted women and be honest, ardent Biden supporters.

This should be pretty obvious at this point in the thread to anyone with grade school level reading comprehension, but it's not that Biden supporters don't care, it's that they (and I'm including myself) believe the accusations are false after reading this woman's bizarre twitter history, weird articles that portray a fetish for Vladimir Putin and Russia, and contradictory statements/timelines. Don't throw that bs at the rest of us and say "be honest" as you're deliberately playing stupid.

So, according to Reade herself she contacted Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, AOC, Ronan Farrow, the New Yorker, New York Times, and Washington Post with her story. All of them ignored her, even Warren and Harris who were running at the time against Biden.
But the Intercept for some reason thought the story was legit. It's one of those things that make you go hmmm...

It's one of those things that makes you go, "Why didn't she contact a lawyer or the authorities instead of a couple of Democrats running for president and a random congresswoman from new york?" Maybe b/c she didn't want to provide a sworn legal statement and open herself up to perjury and scrutiny?

Read the Politico piece on Tara Reade's trail of lies and theft earlier today. My God what a piece of work. Anyone who believes this lying POS at this point is a partisan hack or dead-ender, butthurt bernie bro.
