Tara Reade lied about degree from Antioch University.

[Drunken Irishman]

Reade told CNN that she received a bachelor of arts degree from Antioch University in Seattle under the auspices of a "protected program," personally working with the former president of the school to ensure her identity was protected while she obtained credits for her degree. She also said that she was a visiting professor at the school, on and off for five years.

Presented with this, Karen Hamilton, an Antioch University spokesperson, told CNN that "Alexandra McCabe attended but did not graduate from Antioch University. She was never a faculty member. She did provide several hours of administrative work."

An Antioch University official told CNN that such a "protected program" does not exist and never has.

She also stated another reason for being let go from Biden's office: she was let go due to a medical problem.

As Tara Reade was leaving her job at Joe Biden's Senate office in 1993, she told a close colleague that she believed she was being let go for an unfair reason -- that she was being terminated because of a medical issue she had been dealing with.

5. Several hours of administrative work? That wouldn't be College Work-Study would it?

6. I feel sorry for her, and hope she gets the help she needs. n/t

[LisaM]

11. I do, too.

Of course, I have to strike the balance between having pity for a disturbed woman and watching Western Civilization brought to its knees with a Trump re-election, so there's that. I just hope someone intervenes and gets her the help she needs.

12. I feel that her seemingly unfounded claims against Biden will be held against women who....

are truly victims of harassment and assault, and that's just a shame.

Mika harangued Joe with her incessant urging for him to call on the University of Delaware to allow a "name search" for Reade in Joe' massive collection of personal papers which are deposited there.

8. Oh, another excuse to chew on?

Meanwhile, arrest the scumbag already?

Which scumbag do I mean?

9. She Lied About EVERYTHING

Why even mention the name here?

[gratuitous]

20. You know it, and I know it

But if history is any guide, her name is going to keep popping up every few weeks for the rest of the year. It's good to keep ourselves reminded of the holes in the story, and prepared to push back.

Welcome to DU.

14. I'm pretty sure we'd have been there at the same time.

I finished undergrad and got my MA there in 2001. Not that I’d have remembered her but the very idea kind of gives me the willies.

16. Feel lucky you didn't know her

as she is known to befriend people then scam money out of them.

19. Does she have any degrees at all?

I've read that she has a law degree. Is this true? Getting into law school generally requires having a bachelor's degree.

21. Why lie about something that could be checked so easily..

[Happy Hoosier]

24. Pathological liars cannot help themselves....

... and in most cases, people don't care enough to actually run down the facts. And the more elaborate and detailed the lie, the more people are inclined to believe it. They get used to getting away with lies.

This is why it's important for reporters to evaluate a person's history of veracity when making claims that depend upon their credibility.

In short, we now now know she has a history of dishonesty.

[mcar]

22. Can she just go away now?

Go back into her hole and write her Putin-stanning stuff.

[H2O Man]

23. Recommended.

Her story has fallen apart completely under examination. What bothers me is that others sought to use a clearly disturbed person for political reasons.
