Katie Halper, Nathan Robinson, and Ryan Grim ran one of the most disgusting smear campaign that I've ever seen.

Omar is an idiot and takes the bait.

Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party should rescind their support.

You have to wonder Omar thought, "Well, I don't have enough enemies in my own party, so I need to make some more".

Omar may challenge Klobuchar in 2024.

...in other words, a suicide mission

This story is in such a frustrating state at this point.

On the one hand, it's been thoroughly discredited, and we have a pretty steady drip-drip-drip of "Tara Reade lied in court to send people to jail" or "Tara Reade stole $30,000 from an orphanage" or "Tara Reade kidnapped her neighbor's dog and sold it on eBay" stories.

On the other hand, we still have people like Ilhan Omar using Tara Reade to attack Biden, the socialists are still making "rapist vs. rapist 2020" memes, and if you put out a poll today I bet a healthy plurality of Americans would still say they believe this story.

My immediate family members, all card-carrying Democrats, do not believe Tara Reade, but they are not aware of any of these new developments and are still of the "she should have her story heard, it should be investigated, but I don't believe he did it" mindset that is based on April information.

We really need one solid news cycle with Tara Reade as the top story, giving people the lowdown on new developments.  The last news cycle we had where this was the #1 story was "Biden is hiding something in the U. of Delaware archives."

You are wrong if you think that it changes anything.

People who believe the allegation do so out of political expediency (i.e. Trumpers, Bernie Bros, DSA).

Even if Reade gets charged with perjury, they will just say, "...oh, but that doesn't mean that Biden didn't sexually assaulted her".

How The Left-Wing Media Botched The Tara Reade Story

Quote
A memorable lesson in journalism that I learned during an internship in college came from the dull task of writing out the arrest reports. My editor warned me to state that a suspect was arrested “on a charge” of a crime, not “for” it, because even so subtle a difference in wording in such a small, quotidian item would imply guilt and be grounds for a libel suit if the suspect were acquitted.

I couldn’t help thinking back to the lessons of my cub reporter days as I read about Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden –- and witnessed its mishandling by several left-wing “activist journalists.”

In their zeal to boost Reade’s accusation and lend credence to her claims, people like podcaster Katie Halper, Current Affairs editor Nathan Robinson, and many others effectively presumed Biden’s guilt. But mounting evidence has raised serious doubts about the veracity of Reade’s allegation and her own credibility — mounting evidence uncovered, I should add, by professionally trained journalists who actually knew what they were doing.

Why hasn't she been charged with perjury yet?

Tara Reade is open to speaking at the RNC



Republicans should let her do it.

It would kill any little credibility that she has left.
