If Tara Reade was the only woman who ever accused former Vice President Joe Biden of sexual misconduct [in her case it is actually sexual assault because he penetrated her with his fingers] that wouldn't be so damning to him. But she isn't his first, she's his eighth accuser.
The other seven women are all Democrats, every last one.
These women have accused Biden of unwanted kissing, inappropriate touching and sexual assault.
Tara Reade alleges that when she worked for him, Biden assaulted her in a hallway, had her up against a cold wall, and shoved his hands up her skirt, then put his fingers inside her vagina. And while there was nobody there to witness the alleged assault, Reade has five contemporaneous witnesses who say that she told them about the assault around the time it happened.
In 1993, a video of Reade's late mother shows her calling CNN's Larry King Live in 1993 asking for advice on how to handle her daughter's situation with a "prominent senator," who was unnamed at the time.
Reade said the assault occurred somewhere in the complex of office buildings near the U.S. Capitol. After the alleged assault, she said that she filed a complaint with the Senate personnel office and was soon pushed out of her job in Biden's office.
In 2019, as Sleepy Joe prepared to enter the presidential race, Reade was one of six women who came forward to accuse him of unwanted touching and workplace sexual harassment--sexual assault was not mentioned but earlier this year she came forward with her allegations of assault. She filed a formal report with the D.C. police.
Biden denies the allegation but is refusing to open his archives at the University of Delaware where a copy of Reade’s sexual harassment complaint might be filed.
The others who came forward:
Ally Coll says she was made uncomfortable by Biden’s unwanted touching at a 2008 reception. He squeezed her shoulders and complimented her smile for an amount of time that made her uncomfortable.

"It wasn’t sexual, but he did grab me by the head. He put his hand around my neck and pulled me in to rub noses with me. When he was pulling me in, I thought he was going to kiss me on the mouth."

It was alleged to have gotten so bad that Caruso's husband had to intervene after Biden moved his hand from her shoulder down her lower back.
Amazingly, this alleged incident happened during an event on sexual assault.
Also in 2016, Sofie Karasek was photographed holding hands and touching foreheads with Biden at the Oscars, where she stood alongside 50 other sexual-assault survivors during Lady Gaga’s performance. It was a moment that soon went viral, and was described then by the Post as “powerful.” But in the Post’s report published this week, Karasek says she believes that Biden violated her personal space.
Karasek is also a sexual assault survivor.

"I felt two hands on my shoulders. I froze. 'Why is the vice-president of the United States touching me?' I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, 'I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual fuck? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?' He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head."

Whether you think of Biden's behavior as merely "Joe being Joe," or inexcusably offensive, one thing is clear: he has a warped sense of entitlement.
One can only imagine what he's like when the cameras are off and he's out of public view.
Say what you want about President Trump, he's a known quantity. Biden was supposed to be Mister Clean. The epitome of proper. The guy with the winning denture smile.
He certainly seems like a dirty old man, but you decide.
