A bombshell story published in The San Luis Obispo Tribune provides further corroborating evidence to Tara Reade’s allegation against Joe Biden … but the media has thus far refused to cover it.
The exclusive story written by reporter Matt Fountain indicates a court document from 1996 shows Reade told her ex-husband about sexual harassment in Biden’s Senate office.
The document does not indicate whether or not she said it was Biden who was guilty of the harassment.
According to the Tribune, Reade’s ex-husband wrote the declaration and said she told him about “a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office.”

Media Blackout
The above clip from CBS “This Morning” has been the only mention of this bombshell story thus far by the mainstream media.
ABC and CNN have not covered any aspect of Reade’s story or the new revelations this morning. In fact CNN, according to the Republican National Committee, hasn’t mentioned her name on-air since Monday.
NBC’s “Today” show mentioned Reade’s interview with Megyn Kelly on Thursday but made no mention of the court document.
And MSNBC mentioned the interview with Kelly at 5:31 in the morning, failing to cover it at all Thursday night.

Bombshell Revelations
In the interview with Kelly, Reade called on Biden to withdraw from the presidential race.
“I want to say, you and I were there, Joe Biden. Please step forward and be held accountable,” she said. “You should not be running on character for the president of the United States.”
Reade also said she would testify under oath and take a polygraph test so long as the former vice president does so as well.

The media holding back on a story involving court evidence from Reade’s ex-husband is not shocking.
What is shocking is that they don’t think the American people are bright enough to recall that Democrats once said a woman telling her husband about harassment was essentially a nail in the coffin.
The only difference then was that it applied to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“I believe Dr. Blasey Ford because she’s telling the truth,” Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said not all that long ago.
“You know it by her story. You know it by the fact that she told her therapist five years ago. She told her husband,” she added. “This is a trauma she’s been dealing with her whole life.”
The double standard – both by the media and Democrats – is reprehensible.
