The media conformity regarding silencing Tara Reade is fucking terrifying #IBelieveTaraReade
— Democrats are ignoring Joe Biden's sexual assault (@FlyThaiMMA) March 26, 2020
When describing how the alleged incident impacted her, Reade noted extreme feelings of trauma. In her own words:
“For me, it was like, everything shattered. I looked up to him. He was like my father’s age, he was this champion of women’s rights, in my eyes. I couldn’t believe it was happening.”
This is a story that @ReadeAlexandra has been trying to tell since it happened in 1993. It's a story about sexual assault, retaliation and silencing. #meToo https://t.co/yHz3iFi9a5

Right now, Tara Reade’s allegations against Biden are still breaking. “#NationalJoeDay” and “#TimesUpBiden” are also trending on Twitter as social media users weigh in with their thoughts.
Reaction from Joe Biden
As of this writing, Joe Biden has not responded to the rape allegation from Tara Reade. A statement has yet to come from either himself, a spokesperson or his campaign.
I get that plenty of liberals prefer Biden to Bernie, but the silence about Tara Reade’s rape accusation against Biden is still pretty mind-boggling. Has any mainstream liberal so much as commented on it?

Despite Biden’s silence, social media users couldn’t be more vocal. Certain Democrats have pointed out the hypocrisy of only believing accusers when the accused is on the right-wing. Others are critical of the mainstream media which, thus far, remains largely silent about Tara Reade’s claims.
