Lisa Bloom, a self-anointed feminist attorney, says she believes Tara Reade, the woman accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault, but that she will support the former vice president regardless.
Reade has alluded to the incident in the past but made a more serious accusation during a podcast back in March.
She filed a criminal complaint with the sexual assault unit of the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department in April.
Bloom Believes Her
Bloom, who has represented women accusing President Trump of harassment as well as failed comedienne Kathy Griffin, said she believes Reade but feels compelled to overlook the crime.
“I believe you, Tara Reade,” she wrote on Twitter. “You have people who remember you told them about this decades ago.”
Indeed, a video has surfaced of Reade’s mother calling into “Larry King Live” and discussing her daughter’s “problems” involving a prominent senator, while at least four other women have corroborated parts of her story.
CNN is deleting and censoring this video of their own broadcast which provides material evidence of Joe Biden’s sexual assault against Tara Reade.

Still Supports Biden
So, why does Bloom, despite thinking Biden is guilty of sexual assault, still plan to support him? Because ‘Orange Man Bad,’ of course.
“We know he is ‘handsy,'” she writes in the understatement of the year.
“You’re not asking for [money]. You’ve obviously struggled mightily with this,” Bloom continues addressing Reade.
But …
“I still have to fight Trump, so I will still support Joe,” she concludes. “But I believe you. And I’m sorry.”
I believe you, Tara Reade.
You have people who remember you told them about this decades ago.
We know he is “handsy.”
You’re not asking for $.
You’ve obviously struggled mightily with this.
I still have to fight Trump, so I will still support Joe.
But I believe you. And I’m sorry https://t.co/eMUBrkkVFE— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) May 1, 2020
Some Feminist
Compare this to Bloom’s comments involving the nominating process of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser Christine Blasey Ford, whose allegations had numerous holes in them.
“Likely that both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh believe they are telling the truth,” she tweeted. “Ford because she is, and could never forget that awful night. Kavanaugh as it was no big deal to him at the time, easily forgettable. This is how assaulters think.”
Biden will appoint a progressive female VP, and has a long history of fighting for women’s rights. Trump opposes everything I care about: climate change, human rights, treating immigrants with respect.
I understand Ms. Reade has this same struggle as she opposes Trump too.

How could anybody ever make the claim that they are a champion of women ever again when they’re willing to turn a blind eye to a violent crime just because they support the man being accused?
We’re not saying whether or not it happened – we don’t know. But Bloom is clearly saying she thinks it DID happen and she doesn’t care because Biden needs to beat the President.
Talk about selling your soul.
