Dianne Feinstein Abandons #BelieveAllWomen With Scathing Remarks About Biden Accuser Tara Reade
“Why didn’t she say something — you know when he was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee or after that?” asked Sen. Feinstein (D-CA).
Who could have guessed that the same party that disingenuously created the #BelieveAllWomen rallying cry for partisan political purposes would evaporate two years later once their presumptive presidential nominee stood accused?
That is precisely what is taking place right now, as we speak, in Washington, D.C., and beyond. Democratic women, including some who stand to directly benefit from coddling Joe Biden’s ego, begrudgingly go on the record to pretend they still support women while simultaneously proclaiming they believe Biden and not his accuser Tara Reade.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), however, is traveling on a different path in all this. Manu Raju, in a rare act of actual journalism for a CNN reporter, got the longtime Senator and prominent Biden supporter/booster to go on the record Thursday with her thoughts on Reade’s allegations. And boy, were they something.
Here’s the Twitter thread Raju posted:
Dianne Feinstein, ranking Democrat on Senate Judiciary, argued to us that the Kavanuagh situation is “totally different” than the Tara Reade allegations against Biden. "Kavanuagh was under the harshest inspection that we give people over a substantial period of time.”

“And I don’t know this person at all who has made the allegations. She came out of nowhere. Where has she been all these years? He was Vice President,” Feinstein said. She touted his record and then said “to attack him this way to me is absolutely ridiculous.”
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) May 7, 2020
“Why didn’t she say something — you know when he was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee or after that?” Feinstein rejected the notion of a Dem double standard and argued the situation isn’t “comparable” to Kavanaugh
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) May 7, 2020
That sure was a rather revealing exchange, especially when you consider Feinstein’s position on Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations against then-SCOTUS nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh in 2018:

Is it okay to ask questions about Reade’s claims? Sure. Is it okay to base your standards for judging those claims on the party affiliation of the man accused and/or your future political ambitions? No, it is absolutely not okay to do that, especially for a powerful, sitting United States Senator.
Failed presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) tried and failed to have it both ways on supporting women and Biden at the same time, but ducked out when asked about Democratic double standards:
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a potential VP pick, asked if she believed Reade’s allegations or if she believes Biden: “He’s been forthright. He’s answered the questions respectfully and I’m proud to support him.”
— Manu Raju (@mkraju) May 7, 2020
Asked again if she believes Reade: “I think he’s answered all the questions and he’s made clear that he supports her right to come forward.” Asked about criticism that Democrats have a double-standard on the topic, Klobuchar didn’t answer and walked into an awaiting car.

I’ll be among the many who welcome the demise of the whole “Believe All Women” farce. Unfortunately, that it’s happening at the expense of a woman whose claims of a vile sexual assault look increasingly credible day by day is unfortunate. I’ve never believed we should automatically “Believe All Women,” but I am starting to believe Tara Reade is telling the truth.

Like I care what CHICOM employer has to say
Believe All Communist Chinese Bribed Congress Critters
To whoever down-voted 2smart, notamember and dystopia, it appears that you might want to check the history of (not so) feinstein’s employment of a proven chinese spy for 20 years. Just sayin’. Please defend your down-vote with some specific logic, or retire to grandma’s basement.
If they are using a smartphone, as many of us are these days, then if you don’t enlarge the text the two thumbs are too close together and it’s easy to accidentally hit the other than the one you wanted.
Then this insistence autocorrect that I’ve turned off once on the options, is no help. I’ve caught my auto-correct many times going back and changing a word, after I put in many other words past it.
I’m not the downvote, but there is no evidence or reason to believe that she knew her driver was a spy.
“Known or should have known” — isn’t that the legal criterion they apply to us little people before throwing us into prison?
I guess her Communist Chinese Driver told her she had to.
There is more than that one letter keeping her from being an Einstein.
Let them play right into our hands. Especially when they turn off many of their True Believers at the same time.
Question: “Why didn’t she say something — you know when he was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee or after that?”
Answer: She did.
He was Chairman of the Judiciary Committee when she told her mother, told her husband, and filed a formal complaint.
also there was no confirmation process like with kavenaugh. as it stands potus run closest thing she has to a confirmation process to get this into play.
Dear Diane, why did Ms. Ford why wait so long to bring her claim forward, Kavanaugh was nominated for the DC court in 2003, confirmed in 2006? Not much different from Ms. Reade making her claim at this time.
I know, one person you want to protect and one you have contempt.
Too bad the people of California made the decision to return you to office in 2018.
Or at least the other people who filled in those people’s ballots did.
Their useful idiot underlings might just wake up from all of this….might.
Why did Ford wait thirty years to complain about an incident she can’t remember anything about?
Uhhhhhh……..
Because it never happened to Ford?
This swine has a deeper problem than hypocrisy.
It’s called TREASON:

To summarize:
#Believe All Women! (t/m)*
Narrator: Serious, sometimes fatal side effects may occur, such as lynching (see Emmett Till). Offer not valid in all 57 states. Offer is void in Delaware, Minnesota, Virginia, California, and Arkansas. Doesn’t apply to all women. Tara Reade, Leeann Tweeden, Leland Keyser, Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Kathleen Wiley, Monica Lewinsky, Mary Jo Kopechne, Karen Monahan, Vanessa Tyson, Meredith Watson and Lucy Flores not to be believed. See your local Democrat Party for other exclusions and prohibitions.
She looks like she just got back from Mordor
Doesn’t Manu Raju realize that preforming as an objective journalist is grounds for immediate termination at CNN?
They are all scared that corruption will finally be found out. Makes one wonder about Bush.
Which bush?
The more glaring irony is that, if Biden were a college student accused of sexual assault and investigated under Title IX lack-of-due-process procedures (that he vigorously supported) he would be toast. When oh when will the pompous sanctimonious hypocrisy and lack of honesty and integrity of our fearless leaders ever be sufficient to matter to most voters? I’m not holding my breath.
“Who could have guessed that the same party that disingenuously created the #BelieveAllWomen rallying cry for partisan political purposes would evaporate two years later once their presumptive presidential nominee stood accused?”
Let me raise my hand.
The recent history of the Democratic Party is crammed full of instances in which the DP introduces an outrageous new political weapon, with absolutely no regard as to their own vulnerability should the balance of power shift and that weapon be turned against them.
The Senate “nuclear option.”
The “phone and pen” strategy.
And now, #BelieveAllWomen.
