President Trumps reelection campaign released an online attack ad Friday against former Vice President Joe Biden zeroing in on the sexual assault allegations against the presumptive Democratic nominee.
The ad shows clips of Biden and other Democratic leaders saying we should believe women, mostly in the context of the sexual assault allegation brought against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh last year during his nomination.
Biden on Friday for the first time publicly denied the allegations made in March by Tara Reade, a former Senate aide who alleges that Biden assaulted her in 1993. His campaign had previously denied the allegations.
The leaders featured in Trumps attack ad have defended Biden against the allegations, but were critical of Kavanaugh.

(297,692 posts)she didn't keep changing her story and lying and praising kravenaugh like Reade did to Biden.
Reade filed a complaint with the DC police under "Subject".. she didn't name Biden.
Now she says she didn't file a complaint of sexual harassment or assault in 1993.

Reade also said she canceled fox interview bc of "death threats to her and her adult daughter".. I don't believe her.

(630 posts)would be sworn in and testify to Congress, if that were required here? No chance. E. Jean Carroll has a piece of corroborating evidence (DNA) that she's offered, to back up her rape claim. Reade canceled on Fox news, probably because they didn't give her hannity to toss out softballs for 15 minutes. This has never smelled right, and the cognitive dissonance/ arrogance required by the trump campaign here is fucking breathtaking.
