New Revelations About Biden Accuser Tara Reade Causes #BidenDropOut to Trend
“Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards.”
The media did its best to ignore the assault allegations against Joe Biden, but the video of the mother of accuser Tara Reade calling the Larry King Live show in 1993 has changed things.
Even some well known Democrats are saying Biden should drop out.
Marisa Schultz reports at FOX News:
Former Clinton adviser calls on Biden to withdraw over assault allegations
Peter Dauo, a political activist and one-time fierce Hillary Clinton backer, took to Twitter Saturday to urge former Vice President Joe Biden to end his presidential bid over new developments in the sexual assault allegation against him.
Dauo, who worked for Clinton during her first presidential bid and was a prominent defender of her in the 2016 cycle, took to Twitter Saturday morning to say “Biden should withdraw.”
In a “difficult” Twitter thread, Daou said the new information emerging in support of Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations against Biden prompted his stance.
“Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards,” Daou wrote.
While Daou was a major Clinton booster in 2016, he shifted this cycle to back one-time Clinton opponent, Bernie Sanders.
See Daou’s tweets below:
DIFFICULT THREAD — #BIDEN SHOULD WITHDRAW
1. I respect the will of the voters.
2. But new information has emerged supporting #TaraReade‘s account of being sexually assaulted by #JoeBiden.
3. Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards.

4. Defeating Trump is NOT OPTIONAL.
5. To avoid potential catastrophe in Nov., #Biden should withdraw.
6. #Warren, #Harris, #Klobuchar, #Buttigieg, #Castro, etc. could replace Biden.
7. #Bernie can restart his campaign.
8. We can reboot the primary and give voters a choice.

9. This is the ethical position AND the smarter strategy to beat Trump.
10. We lose ALL moral authority if we embrace “the lesser of two accused rapists.”
11. Polls show other Dem candidates can win.
PRINCIPLES MATTER. WE CAN BEAT TRUMP AND PROTECT OUR VALUES.#DropOutBiden

Daou’s wife is also a progressive operative:
From Day 1, Peter and I argued that a man in a position of power repeatedly invading the physical space of young girls and women (on video, no less) is instantly disqualified.
The fact that there is a credible rape accusation by @ReadeAlexandra further cements it.#DropOutBiden https://t.co/nOLsVLfKMV

He should drop out. 100% agree.

Seriously, we need to remember just how quick and aggressive people were toward Franken, and how those same people are dead silent now. #BidenDropOut #IBelieveTara https://t.co/bxc1RHs9xW

I don’t know how Biden could drop out at this point. Didn’t Obama’s long-awaited endorsement pretty much seal the deal?

Go long on popcorn. Cornpop’s adversary is on the ropes (along with XiNN…). Will Wisconsin Bern like Chicago in ‘68? Will it be “selected”, not “elected” torch the convention…
I am sorry for Tara, but the politics will be fun….
Evidence is mounting up
Cool, first mention I’ve seen of that “evidence” stuff. That’s the mysterious substance which converts mere “accusations” into credible cases.
After 27 years of silence, she has no credibility. This is obviously a political hit job and with a Clinton person wanting him gone, I imagine it is so Hillary can be named the nominee
As in Fight Club, the first rule…..
dirty politics is fun theater…..just remember, when wrestling a pig in mud, everyone gets dirty…
This is the “insurance policy” that will allow the DNC to ease Joe out… but they can’t get rid of him right now. The Central Committee has to avert a Sander’s crisis.
There may be evidence within Biden’s records now held by U of Delaware. They state that the records will only be released 2 years after Biden leaves public office. Ah… he has been out for more than 2 years and he is presently not in public office. Being a Dem candidate provides immunity.
That’s why we should be quiet about this until after the election. Let this Palooka Biden trip over his own shoelaces in the election, not before. To paraphrase the D’Rats, let no complete idiot go to waste.
MarkS: by any chance, do you have any documentation of your similar comments regarding the accusers of Brent Kavanaugh? You know, something to the effect that boy howdy, it’s 20-plus years and only now is Christine Blassey Ford coming forward?
A link to your past comments perhaps?
No?
Okay then…
Exactly.
Biden has been giving off sex offender vibes his whole political career, how many photos and videos are out there of him having inappropriate hair sniffs and “hugs” IN FRONT OF the cameras?
Kavanaugh was accused by a person spinning an incredible tale, with more than a few credibility issues (seriously, you’re telling me a university age girl voluntarily and repeatedly attended HS parties where she knew girls were being drugged and raped?), a repeatedly changing story, and who names witnesses who say they didn’t witness what she said.
The tape of her Mom proves the accuser told people at the time of the described event that it happened, it’s a heck of a lot more credible that she didn’t go to the authorities at the time about an unwitnessed attack by a US Senator vs. a supposedly whole set of witnessed attacks by a high school kid and his buddies, and her story has not had to change to stay within reach of credible. Not to mention the time and place of the attack is addressed as if she isn’t worried about being caught out in a lie, vs K’s accuser, who can’t even name the street address, town, day of the week, or YEAR “it” happened.
“The tape of her Mom proves the accuser told people at the time “. No it does not. it is circumstantial evidence thereof. A jury would decide it, not media or “public opinion”.
Biden : accuser doesn’t file charges because attacker is a powerful sitting US Senator and she was alone at the time of the attack.
Vs
Kavanaugh : accuser doesn’t file charges because attacker is a powerless high schooler and it’s multiple attacks over a period of months occurred with plenty of witnesses.
Yup, same thing with equal credibility, yup yup yup…..
After 27 years of silence
But she wasn’t silent. You didn’t hear of it; hardly the same thing. She told several people who have just verified that she did, indeed, tell them about it at the time. That’s the recent development, and the thing which was missing when Kavanaugh was similarly accused. It’s the evidence that this story was not recently fabricated as a political hit job. Unless, of course, everybody’s lying, not unheard-of when Democrats are involved.
I expected that more women would come forward. The guy is a sifty, lecherous creep, albeit with better manners than Bill.
Kind of surprising that the young woman was not adequately compensated to refrain from nuisance. It remains to be seen if the women’s movement will come forward to discredit her.
I think she’s telling the truth and doubt if she is the only woman that has been suffered upon by the beast.
Surely, you jest. The established religion (“ethics”) is Pro-Choice, selective, opportunistic, and politically congruent.
My cynical take on this trending hashtag is that the powers that be in the National Socialists Party are pushing it. We know most of the politicians followers are fake, Hillary had millions of fake ones. I see this as pushing the narrative to ease him out as his dementia gets worse.
I think they know he has dementia, but it gives them the chance to slot in their real choice who probably doesn’t have a chance at being elected, or doesn’t want the long campaign. With his issues growing worse and more obvious, this could be a means to cast him aside whenever they feel the timing is right.
The time is right, now that a viable replacement has emerged: Kim Jong-undead.
They can dig up Stalin and run him.
I think they were hoping for a woman, perhaps a governor. Maybe from Michigan…
They can’t do that, Abrams would be upset. How dare they shun her, simply because she is ugly as sin…..and dumb as a rock. It is shocking that as hideous as she is, as stupid, that she manages to have ego, completely unjustified ego.
They’ll buy Burger Beagle off with the same VP slot they’ve been dangling in front of her.
Picture it: America’s first Y-chromosome-free presidential ticket.
…and fatter than a gilt.
I dunno, Governor Whitmer hasn’t exactly covered herself in glory lately, though you’d never know if it you only read Politico. I think she hurt herself and it would embarrass the DNC no end to run her as the candidate and see Trump take Michigan anyway…
Biden is in it until Hillary chooses to push him out. If her health has declined too far, she won’t be able to do that.
Everything else is theater. Democrats have no shame and less than no interest in admitting that they’ve made a mistake.
Seth Rich was unavailable for comment.
I’ll just point out two comments I mad months ago:
1) There is no other D candidate running that can beat Biden.
2) Biden will not be the D candidate for president.
Now, #1 is true. I’ll leave it to your imaginations how part 2 will be achieved.
“Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards.”
That quote is itself newsworthy. The claim that Democrats have “moral standards.”
Good one. Vegas awaits.
I’m wondering if all of this is just invented out of whole cloth. They want Joe out because he’s a sandwich shy of a picnic, not sexual harassment.
Cornered people act irrationally, and the entire DNC is cornered at the moment.
I would equate their current platform to a game of Pick-up-Sticks.

Former Clinton adviser calls on Biden to withdraw over assault allegations
Didn’t read the whole thing yet, glanced through, saw this. OMG, the sheer hypocrisy of this statement.
There’s this thing called due process that liberals don’t seem to get. Regardless, their standards suggest that liberals get delayed process at the very least while opposition gets no quarter and no lawful right to defense.
Stick a fork in Biden, I really think he’s done. This is the Democrats’ end game; it’s only a matter of when he drops out, there’s no if. At this point, Democrat poobahs are gaming out “circumstances” about about how Biden withdraws from the race, and who replaces him with minimal political risk to Democrat races down ballot.
I’m sorry, but when I see Peter Daou commenting from a perspective of “morals”, I have to ask; since when has the liberal had as its platform had morality as it’s foundation? Or, perhaps, they are ethics from a different moral basis than what has been traditionally understood. I can’t for the life of me understand how promoting the death of the innocent unborn is ethical/moral? Or, if it happened to survive that, then intentionally terminating its life outside the womb? Ethical? Moral? What’s so moral about using taxpayer’s hard-earned money to enrich politicians who’s main goal is to create the demise of our current president who was duly elected? Moral? Or using the current pandemic to leverage funding for causes completely unrelated just because they could?
So much for morality.
Much more for a power grab.
Or for haters. I haven’t seen so much hate in action as I have with the current state of the DNC. And Pelosi prays for the president? Over her ice cream altar of self-indulgence perhaps and with blood of the same seemingly running through her veins. How twisted we are to think that anyone is immune from hate, much less the DNC.
These folks were raised with parents or values that I’m glad the good Lord didn’t promote in my life or my family. Not perfect, but certainly not making sure the innocent don’t have a fighting chance from my privileged position as an educated adult who wasn’t aborted or unloved. There is no unwanted unborn baby.
“But Trump…”, “But Trump…”, “But Trump…”
.
They made Bill Clinton’s shenanigans a non-issue for Hillary and were pretty successful. While there were contemporaneous accusers for Billy Boy the handlers managed to keep the media in line and not bloody Hillary in the election.
.
Biden isn’t so lucky and Gropey Joe is on camera for years now.
.
Trump sharing locker room talk on TMZ is one thing. A woman’s mom calling Larry King back when it happened is another.
.
Personally, I think they will have to run the horse they put up. I also think Abrams makes more sense now. As a sleazy romance writer she probably depicted Fast Fingers Biden in many of her books without realizing it.
Hellooooo Alyssa Milano… Where are you? Can you hear me????
I would LOVE to see Bernie back in the race! Go Bernie Go!
Shameless Sunday song parody plug: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29PPEFh9Sdc (Bernie’s Song – “Crash Box”)
Joe likes to touch, smell, and assault pretty women. Stacy Abrams will be safe.
I doubt this is an inside/DNC hit to get Biden out. If it were, the Press would have had marching orders to make it headline material. Instead, they’ve been trying to smother it. Ergo, the Party doesn’t want it publicized, most likely becasue it wants Biden to clinch the nomination. What happens after that is another matter, of course.
How many times has Biden dipped into the Senate sexual abuse payoff fund?
Who will “Paula Jones” Tara Reade? James Carville is a little old and unstable this time – but Biden’s Handlers should have no problem finding a trailer park line to attack Reade.
