+1, I think he was handsy and overly familiar like he has been for years and years, and it would definitely be recognized as sexual harassment today. |
This. We need a grown-up back and apparently this is the one we are stuck with. Hopefully 4 years and paving the way for our 1st female president. Which it is beyond annoying that the country seems only willing to elect after a stint as VP, but whatever. I'll take it. |
This is very odd. There is no way I would have thrown the complaint away, especially if I had kept the other files. Doesn't pass the smell test. If she had just said it happened, it would be he said she said. The fact that she now has "some records" but oddly tossed others is strange. |
She said she filed a report but there is no report. That puts her in the unreliable category to me. |
Precisely. Also, strange how she did not state that she was assaulted when she first came out with this story. You'd think she'd lead with that. |
Every woman should be believed unless they are accusing a Democrat. Got it. |
1. At a minimum, her claims about having prepared and filed some formal contemporaneous document are false. She is lying about what she said and when she said it.
2. At a minimum, her public statements during the last two years have been bizarre, reflecting what appears to be personal instability. This does not help her credibility. 3. The exact nature of her claims has changed over the last several months alone, and she has not released any one, comprehensive, detailed, consistent accusation. She thereby has made it impossible to verify her claims. 4. The persons who were responsible for managing her in the workplace at the time of the alleged incident(s) uniformly deny her claims. 5. Her claims have been advanced with the direct participation and support of a partisan campaign operation that has every incentive to provide her with a megaphone. Not a single thing she has said is even remotely believable, period. |
Is that why you are supporting Trump giving his DNA to debunk a very credible accusation? |
This thread is not about Trump. Dems still have a chance to dump Biden at the Convention. Biden is dead weight. |
It would be recognized as inappropriate. I don't think it's "sexual" harassment, though. I don't know - I just don't see any record of women (or men) finding that Biden was sexually inappropriate. I don't buy Reade's story. I am open to being wrong. I am voting for Biden either way. It's weird - Trump got a little bump after the Kavanaugh hearing because it made people retreat to their camp. I wonder if that will happen here, too. If people become more committed to Biden because of the feeling that our guy is being unfairly attacked. I don't know if it works that way with Dems. It's also so weird that we now have to go through all this with Biden - and Trump has never once been held to account for the dozens of well documented, actually credible allegations against him. That guy's skin must be layered in teflon. |
Alyssa Milano— what a load of tosh—

They should be believed if their account is believable. If a woman says your house is on fire and you can see it's not, it doesn't mean you have to call 911. |
You are full of it. Own it. |
Someone on twitter brought up a valid point. She claims to have also been a senate staffer at the time and recalled that the dress code required women to wear pantyhose with skirts. Those of us who are old enough to remember pantyhose can verify that they were constricting enough to practically cut off circulation. It is hard to imagine that he was able to reach up her skirt and inside pantyhose far enough to penetrate. Especially while standing up in a hallway where someone could have walked by at anytime. |
