RAPIST JOE BIDEN IS NO RAPIST INSISTS HAGTRESS AND FORMER CHILD ACTOR ALYSSA MILANO. DESPITE TARA READE'S MOTHER TELLING LARRY KING ON LIVE TELEVISION IN 1993 THAT HER DAUGHTER HAD A PROBLEM WITH A SENATOR, ALYSSA INSISTS THAT THERE'S NO WAY JOE RAPED TARA.
"I'VE EXAMINED HIS TESTICLES," EXPLAINED ALYSSA TO THESE REPORTERS. "I'VE DUSTED THEM FOR FINGERPRINTS WITH MY TONGUE. WITH MY TONGUE! I HAVE FOUND NO PROOF THAT SWEET JOE COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING LIKE RAPE. AND MY TONGUE WAS EVERYWHERE. EVERYWHERE! I EVEN GOT ALL OVER THE TAINT."
FROM THE TCI WIRE:
After Friday's snapshot posted, hours after, this was added to it:
Ryan Grim has a scoop at THE INTERCEPT:
In interviews with The Intercept, Reade also mentioned that her mother had made a phone call to “Larry King Live” on CNN, during which she made reference to her daughter’s experience on Capitol Hill. Reade told The Intercept that her mother called in asking for advice after Reade, then in her 20s, left Biden’s office. “I remember it being an anonymous call and her saying my daughter was sexually harassed and retaliated against and fired, where can she go for help? I was mortified,” Reade told me.
Reade couldn’t remember the date or the year of the phone call, and King didn’t include the names of callers on his show. I was unable to find the call, but mentioned it in an interview with Katie Halper, the podcast host who first aired Reade’s allegation. After the podcast aired, a listener managed to find the call and sent it to The Intercept.
On August 11, 1993, King aired a program titled, “Washington: The Cruelest City on Earth?” Toward the end of the program, he introduces a caller dialing in from San Luis Obispo, California. Congressional records list August 1993 as Reade’s last month of employment with Biden’s Senate office, and, according to property records, Reade’s mother, Jeanette Altimus, was living in San Luis Obispo County. Here is the transcript of the beginning of the call:
KING: San Luis Obispo, California, hello.
CALLER: Yes, hello. I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington? My daughter has just left there, after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him.
KING: In other words, she had a story to tell but, out of respect for the person she worked for, she didn’t tell it?
CALLER: That’s true.
King’s panel of guests offered no suggestions, and instead the conversation veered into a discussion of whether any of the men on set would leak damaging personal information about a rival to the press.
Tara Reade has accused Joe Biden of assault. Along with telling her brother and a friend in real time (both have verified they were told in 1993 when the assault happened), Tara had stated she told her mother who has since passed away. Now we have the above.
The allegations are not going away and Tara's case is only getting stronger.
Daniel Ponti (SLATE) explains:
A video that has recently come to light from 1993 appears to show the mother of Tara Reade, who has accused former Vice President Joe Biden of sexual assault, calling the Larry King Show to discuss problems her daughter experienced while working for “a prominent senator.” The Intercept was first to report on the video and the conservative Media Research Group later quickly published the relevant clip. Reade then confirmed that it was her mother’s voice on the call. “I’ve been crying because I haven’t heard my mom’s voice in a few years. So it’s been a little emotional,” Reade told CNN. “I miss her. I miss her voice.” Reade’s mother died in 2016.
Liz Peek is a name familiar to the community when wowOwow was an active website (Women On the Web, was what the site was known on). She weighed in on Tara Reade this morning:
The liberal media has naturally tried to minimize coverage of the Reade accusation; she leveled the charge on March 25, but most major news outlets ignored it until April 12, fully 19 days later. Criticized over the delay, the New York Times’ editor Dean Baquet explained that the paper wanted to have enough information about the charge that readers could “understand” the story.
But the Times even edited its own story about Reade. It originally reported that, “The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.” In later editions it dropped the last (and most damaging) part of the sentence.
Baquet explained, “The campaign thought that the phrasing was awkward and made it look like there were other instances in which he had been accused of sexual misconduct.” Since when do newspapers run a story by a “campaign” for approval?
Nonetheless, the new video has given Reade’s allegations new legs. In part, that is because Joe Biden has a troubling history of inappropriately touching women – a record his backers ascribe to his “folksy” manner and old-fashioned “tactile” politics.
But, one also wonders whether Democrats are beginning to face up to what many have seen for months: Biden is not a strong candidate.
Daniel Molina (THE FLORIDIAN) observes:
In a recent interview with Vice President Biden, CNN’s Anderson Cooper discussed a wide array of topics, but one issue that was not addressed is the allegations aimed against him, This, Tara Reade says, made her lose respect for the journalist.
Speaking to Fox News, Reade expressed that “it’s shocking that this much time has passed and that he is an actual nominee for president and they’re not asking the questions.”
Reade added that Biden has “been on ‘Anderson Cooper’ at least twice where he was not asked.”
She further questioned, “if this were Donald Trump, would they treat it the same way? If this were Brett Kavanaugh, did they treat it the same way?”
Reade concluded that “it’s politics and political agenda playing a role in objective reporting and asking the question.”
CNN? They finally mentioned Tara on air Saturday. As Ava and I explained in "TV: Journalism isn't supposed to be melodramatic or provoke belly laughs," they did so because Ryan Grim reported Friday on the clip from the 1993 episode of CNN's LARRY KING LIVE where Tara's mother called in. But they forgot to note that Ryan Grim had reported on the clip and instead acted as though CNN had just suddenly discovered the clip all on their own.
