Former Vice President and current Democratic presidential frontrunner Joe Biden got some very bad news this week when his former staffer Tara Reade filed a criminal complaint against him over a sexual assault that she claims happened back in 1993.
Reade reportedly filed the complaint on Thursday afternoon with the sexual assault unit of the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department, according to Business Insider.
Reade herself tweeted out their article while she praised “the brave journalists” reporting her story and thanked those who have “stood by” her. She went on to admit that the statute of limitations on her case had already run out, and that she filed the police report for “safety reasons only.”
Thank you to the brave journalists @ryangrim @kthalps @RichMcHugh and
And luminaries that have stood by me @SusanSarandon @johncusack @rosemcgowan I filed a police report for safety reasons only. All crim stats beyond limitations. Gratitude for all who have stood by me. https://t.co/VpdUF8jez1— taratweets ( Alexandra Tara Reade) (@ReadeAlexandra) April 11, 2020
Reade worked for Biden in the 1990s, and last month, she came forward to claim that he had sexually assaulted her back in 1993. She said that the then-senator from Delaware pinned her against a wall and digitally penetrated her without her consent.
“We were alone, and it was the strangest thing. There was no, like, exchange really, he just had me up against the wall,” she said, according to The Blaze. “His hands were on me, and underneath my clothes. He went down my skirt, but then up inside. He penetrated me with his fingers.”
Reade remembered Biden asking if she “wanted to go somewhere else,” and saying, “C’mon man, I heard you liked me.” The assault ended with Biden allegedly dismissing her, leaving Reade”trying to grasp what had just happened and what I should do or what I should say.”

When Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault two years ago, Biden spoke out to say that all women who accuse someone of sexual assault should be believed.
“For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time,” Biden said at the time, later adding, “You’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real.”
We’re going to take Biden’s advice and believe Reade. Her story sounds credible, and we applaud her for exposing Biden as the sexual predator that he is.

ok i believe but………………. now any woman can come forth and say stuff and if the guy is powerful hes guilty? this is something we need to decide going forward….. example i was at amazon company party and went to the loo jeff bezos met me in hallway and stuff his finger where the sun dont shine……. see my point?
Biden needs to go the way of Al “The Gropeman” Franken—– as in AWAY altogether.
What an ignorant piece of journalism that was put forth in this article. How do you expose someone for the “sexual predator he is” without Due Process or a Trial. Better yet not even a chance of rebuttal when there are major political ramifications involved. I’m not a Republican or Democrat but I’m an American that believes in our Constitutional protections that prevents judgement without a fair process. That applies to Trump and Biden.
You’re so very right…. there, I fixed it. Thanks for pointing that out to me.
You forgot to include “liar” in your analysis..
It’s funny how things go full circle. Perfect. The dems are going to scream bloody murder for conservatives doing to them exactly what the liberal’s have been doing to conservatives for years. Turnabout’s fair play! Step up and take your lumps Joe. Looks like you’ve got some ‘splainin’ to do…. a lot of it. Oh, and I don’t think you’re going to get that “party nod” you thought you’d be getting… you’re too senile, too cranky, too corrupt, a liar….a liability. I know that qualifies you for the left’s nominee but only when it’s a secret. The lid’s been blown off Joe… the “king” has no clothes.
Now it’s Biden’s turn to squirm. This time it looks like it might be the real thing. His own party’s dumping him, kicking him to the curb. How convenient…
Joe Biden is an opportunist, has been his entire political career. I do believe this happened, for what it’s worth. However, any woman that waits this long is an attention seeker.
The Communist have already succeeded (working with ‘Progressives’ in both parties) in overthrowing all human progress in jurisprudence made since 1040 a.d. Among things overthrown, the right of an accused person to confront their accussors; and the creation a special right of certain categories of under preforming groups to deny members of Euro descent all the basic rights. Judges issue: gag orders on those accused to even publicly statements in the accused’s defense or to point out publicly the under-lying true reason for their defense.
I believe that there is no possible Democrat candidate that will not advance the agenda of the police state while too many Republicans would be willingly complicit in the final destruction of our Republic.
The only officeholder of recent memory to believe in the restraint of government has been President Donald J. Trump. He has proved this in the removal of regulations designed to make business unprofitable and their employees unemployable. He has restored the basic freedom of Christian ministers to speak publicly without fear of government retaliation. He has only used the executive power to restore liberty to those the Communist controlled bureaucracy have sought to enslave. K.A.G.
Should’ve spoken up right after it happened, lady. What.. you wanted to keep your job? So, now you’re coming out with this because you believe you can receive a lot of money? You are beautiful.. but, dumber than dumb. And greedy, as well. What did you expect working for an old geezer with Russian hands and Roman fingers? Next!
But where was she when he was VP? Wouldn’t this same story have happened when Obama gave him the nod for his VP.
Something smells fishing and…Never mind, I won’t go there.
What goes around comes around.
This is a patently Democrat ploy when something isn’t the way they want, when they have no chance of winning they’ll bring out the exploited woman in order to make a change at the top. Bye, bye Biden, hello “Fredo’s brother”, Cuomo. They still have no chance.
Are they clearing the Path for an Outsider? The Angel of Death Clinton for example.
Why wait 27 years to report the crime, same as the woman who accused trump when he was running for president did they just think ‘ I’m not going to report the crime and I’ll wait a couple of decades before saying anything just in case he’s going to run for a position of power and maybe I’ll get a payout if I don’t say anything?
Sorry but groping, molestation and rape are not things you cover up for 20 or 30 years ,they should be reported straight away and when the person who was sexually assaulted wait, it makes their claim seem bogus and only helps the perpetrators. who knows how many more people have been attacked while they’ve been quiet
About tired of women making these claim 20 or 30 yrs after it supposedly happened. I’m sure Old Joe cant remember it. I’m not a Joe Biden fan but this ole claim is getting to be as worn out as being called a racist.
At least Biden’s got the world’s biggest hypocrite, Alyssa Milano, on his side! What will her attack on Tara Reade be? How about “Believe All Men” this time…
Where is the me too movement why aren’t they screaming foul. Sick to death of this sorry sad soap opera . They all are the lowest form of life there is. Trump 2020. Simple Sleepy Creepy Joe is a big old pig we knew that, look how well he passed on the creep gene.
As the stomach turns …………..(commercial)
Guess what Joe! YOU are guilty until you can prove yourself innocent, just like Trump was (according to you)!!!
Nothing will come of it. The accusation, true or not, will be swept under the rug.
He’s a Democrat.
I FEEL GOD DAM AWFUL FOR JOE BIDEN. HAHAHAHAHAHA KARMA IS A B&^*&. REMEMBER THE WITCH HUNT ON BRETT KAVANUGH ?NOW LETS SEE IF ALL THE MEDIA and DEMORATs WHO SAID YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THE ACCUSER FEEL THE SAME WAY NOW .REMEMBER THEY SAID NO MATTER HOW LONG AGO IT HAPPENED. THE WOMAN MUST BE BELIEVED. LETS SEE HOW THE BIASED MEDIA AND DEMORATS DEMAND HE WITHDRAW HIS NOMINATION?
So, what do we hear from “MeToo” on this? Cue the crickets…
I don’t get these women: You fingered one of my daughters you’d get your nose broken, a punch in the gut, or a knee in the nuts, for sure you get a brother or husband knocking you down a stairway – Senator or punk at school. How’d we get to be such wimps?
As I said to Demsworstenemy, it is great to see Biden roasting on the #MeToo grill. No one deserves it more after what he did to both Robert Bork and Clarence Thomas.
Cuomo will be an easy target for Trump, as well, because of his failure to protect New York for years before this coronavirus “outbreak.”
Wait til mid November….then you can have him.
At least Trump speaks in layman’s terms so that even the least educated person can understand what he is saying..
If he is guilty there needs to be consequences. That being said, waiting this long makes a person wonder if its made up for political reasons. I will not be voting for him anyway, I have been on the Trump Train since 2016 and see no reason to get off of it. Trump is not perfect and he is blunt and tactless sometimes, but I can be too. He’s also a patriot, something that can’t be said about the dims.
pure unadulterated BS
There is no comparison between Sleepy Joe and President Trump..
At least Biden isn’t a two/bit conman that pays off porn stars for sex and cheats on multiple wives.
Trump will win, it’s inevitable
Remember how you felt on November 9, 2016.? Get ready to feel that way again!
Keep crying baby boy
So biden is just like trump. Except with fewer victims.
What’s the problem?
Or a firing squad.
THE CRIMES BIDEN HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH WOULD GET ANYONE ELSE 150 YEARS IN PRISON.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the demoncrats facilitated this simply to get them out of the mess they’re in. As a none partisan conservative voter I wouldn’t put anything past the liberals. Especially partisan liberals.
Pretty interesting that friends or associates have backed her story that she told them when it happened.
She’s been coming out with this for quite awhile now. I think it’s been over a year.
Chances are good Biden probably did this, but witness credibility comes in to play with the timing of this. This should have come out in January before the primary’s started. Or at any other point since Biden left being vice president. Or actually it should have came out when he was running for VP poor timing on this one .
Did you hear if that woman made the accusation against Trump, or was that from some guy that he was having a “locker room” talk with?
Including the several who have accused trump. He admitted to grabbing pussy’s.
Every accuser MUST BE BELIEVED…….unless they’re accusing
a democRat, of course.
Democrat dream team obumma/Clinton (mick-Elle and killary that is )
Looks like a setup to me. Is this the way Hillary runs again?
You can read it here but you won’t hear anything on the MSM networks!
Bernie didn’t end his campaign. He “suspended” it. It never went away or closed down. It’s sitting there lying in wait. Oh yeah.
UH OH! Make way for either Hillary or Mochelle the first man/woman Vice President, soon to become President after the Democrats declare Biden mentally unfit to continue on as President should, he ever be elected, making the VP the next President. This is just what either Obama or Hillary wanted.
