Actress Rose McGowan has been one of the most consistent humans when it comes to sexual assault allegations. When she says #BelieveAllWomen she means all women.
McGowan once again showed politics will not influence who she believes on this topic. She tweeted that she believes Tara Reade, who accused presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden of sexual assault in 1993. McGowan also demanded Biden drop out of the race.
The Intercept published a clip from CNN’s Larry King Live in 1993 with Tara Reade’s “mother alluding to ‘problems’ her daughter faced while working as a staffer for the then-U.S. senator from Delaware.”
Reade confirmed to Fox News that her mother, Jeanette Altimus, was on the phone. From the clip:
“Yes, hello. I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington? My daughter has just left there, after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him,” the caller says.”In other words, she had a story to tell but, out of respect for the person she worked for, she didn’t tell it?” King asks.”That’s true,” the woman responds before King cuts to a panel to discuss her claim.
McGowan has defended Reade since the allegations came out. She blasted her old costar Alyssa Milano, who all of a sudden is hesitant to #BelieveAllWomen now that her man is in the crosshairs:
McGowan ripped Milano for being “a fraud” and called out her former “Charmed” co-star for inconsistency based on her past advocacy against the Supreme Court nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh after he was accused of sexual misconduct.”This is about holding the media accountable. You go after Trump & Kavanaugh saying Believe Victims, you are a lie. You have always been a lie. The corrupt DNC is in on the smear job of Tara Reade, so are you. SHAME,” McGowan blasted the actress.
Then she criticized The Washington Post:
McGowan further stood up for Reade nearly two weeks ago when she slammed The Washington Post for one of its articles headlined “Sexual assault allegation by former Biden Senate aide emerges in campaign, draws denial.”McGowan made it clear she felt the article didn’t do Reade justice, calling it a “hit piece” that involved “victim shaming.”“As a survivor, the way you launched into this woman’s assault is truly vile,” McGowan added. “Your motto is ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness’ well I guess it’s dead because you are dark. Evil lives and it loves the DNC [Democratic National Committee].”The Post reported that Reade “did not mention the alleged assault or suggest there was more to the story” when she previously told the paper Biden inappropriately touched her neck and shoulders and has said she “twice voted for the [Barack] Obama-Biden ticket.”
Here are a few more tweets:
On Saturday night, McGowan demanded Biden drop out of the presidential race.
She told Biden he “MUST STEP DOWN. STOP SNIFFING AND F*CK OFF.”
Then McGowan threw her anger towards the leftist females who have bitten their tongue over the allegations:
F*ck you to .001%c f*ck you to women’s groups, Gloria Steinem & f*cking take ass Oprah, f*ck you. All of you crow about your bravery yet you do nothing, @NYT even sat on Reade’s interview/interrogation til Biden became the presumptive nominee.
McGowan encouraged Reade not to stop, “no matter what scorch the earth.”
We wrote about the numerous women who told their stories when Biden inappropriately touched them or made them feel uncomfortable.
Biden sort of acknowledged these instances a few times:
Biden’s campaign denied the allegations, but Biden himself has not personally denied it. Two interns confirmed, “Reade was abruptly demoted,” but the campaign has not addressed this issue either.
