Tara Reade calls for Biden to drop out of presidential race

Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who has accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, says she hopes that he will end his campaign for the White House.

In her first televised interview since Biden publicly denied the allegations, Reade told journalist Megyn Kelly that she believes Biden should end his campaign.

"I wish he would, but he won't," Reade said. "But I wish he would. That's how I feel emotionally."

Reade said she thinks it's "a little late for an apology," but that if she were able to confront Biden face-to-face she would tell him to "be accountable" for his actions.

Getting Biden to drop out was the reason for the timing of her accusation.

She claimed to originally be for Warren -- because that's what a lot of the Bernie Bro types did to shield them from being called out on their deplorable behavior -- but her Twitter feed was littered with pro-Sanders stuff.

What do your wishes, (regardless of the context) have to do with our political process and candidates overall?

That's not your choice, Tara. In fact, a political statement like that in light of your allegations makes you sound politically motivated and also confused. That bias detracts from the allegations you have made and also makes your choice of timing even more suspect.

I don't think statements like that are relevant to her allegations and she reveals something suspicious by making them publicly.

I refuse to take anyone seriously who pointed reporters to a police report, filed under penalty of perjury, that fails to name her assaulter, or name a date or location.

The assaulter, if there was one, could have been any of millions of people. Or she could simply be lying, and know that her lies are protected by freedom of speech.

I am sure they are paying her a HUGE amount of money to say this. She figured it was her ticket to easy street and took the money. There are gaping holes in her story already revealed. They think they can play Dems for fools because of our belief in women's stories about rape. The repukes figure they can take us out with this one woman. We should NOT fall for it!

Apparently she has a mental disorder which has been proven. Plus the attorney firm are supporters of shithole which in turn is key for recusal. Right winger such as Kelly and Left Wingers have joined by the hip.

Surely he knows of the conspiracy by his supporters to prop up Tara Reade to help him. He should expose the perfidious players like Katie Halper and Cenk Uygur immediately if his endorsement of Biden means anything.

She wants Bernie. That's the reason for all of this.

Two years ago she had no problem with Biden at all. She was tweeting his praises, including lauding him as a hero on women's issues. None of this popped up until he became a rival to Bernie, and as Biden rose to the top her claims grew more and more outlandish to match.
