Quote:The woman who accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault, Tara Reade, will testify before Congress about her allegations after receiving an invitation from Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA).

Reade, 59, claims that she was sexually assaulted by Biden when she worked as a staff assistant in his Senate office in 1993, allegations that he denies. She is the eighth woman to accuse Biden of sexual misconduct.

“At the invitation of [Marjorie Taylor Greene] and I, and with the blessing of Chairman Comer, Tara Reade will be returning to Congress to give a transcribed interview regarding her allegations that Joe Biden sexually assaulted her,” Gaetz wrote on Twitter.

The invitation was in response to a recent tweet by Reade, who was reacting to reports of the impending arrest of former President Donald Trump by pointing out that the political and media elites took little to no interest in her case compared with the aggressive coverage of Trump’s dealings with porn actress Stormy Daniels.

“So I am not a former porn star nor did I receive ‘hush money’ I was a Senate staffer for Joe Biden when he sexually assaulted me in 1993. To date no investigation, only media attacks and trolls aimed at me,” Reade wrote. “I ask again to [Marjorie Taylor Greene] and [Matt Gaetz], When will Joe Biden be investigated? Thanks.”

Explaining his decision to invite Reade, Gaetz pointed out that her claims have additional credibility as her mother called into a radio show to complain about sexual harassment on Capitol Hill soon after the alleged incident took place.

“No person’s allegation should ever be taken at face value, there has to be review, there has to be corroboration,” said Gaetz. “I took particular note in this matter that Tara Reade’s mom had actually called into Larry King Live to talk about her daughter’s experience as a staffer being sexually assaulted by a powerful man. There seemed to be some real-time acknowledgment that a bad thing had happened here.”

Reade’s mother told King at the time:

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.

However, some doubt has already been cast on Gaetz’s invitation after Politico’s Congressional Reporter Jordain Carney reported that when asked about Tara Reade and the invitation, Comer said “I don’t even know who that is.”

“Oversight spox also distancing noting Comer is ‘focused on the Biden family’s business schemes and bank records,'” Carney wrote.

Reade, meanwhile, maintains her allegations and thanked the Congressman and Congresswoman for allowing her to share her story.

“I look forward to answering ALL the questions,” she wrote on Twitter. “I see the Democrats have begun their smear campaign on me already to try to stop me from speaking. It will not work.”

For consistency's sake...I'm not interested in hearing anyone come out with a sexual assault story 30 years later. The window for giving a schit passed about 25 years ago with me.

This story was out there at the moment it happened. This wasnt something where she didnt say anything for 30 years and is just now coming out with it. She immediately reported it to the people she should have, and she was blown off because democrats are sick.

I understand your position but it depends on your purpose.

Nobody is doing this to seek an arrest or damages against Biden... as you note,we are way past that... they are doing it to point out the clear hypocrisy and the lack of moral authority for someone like Biden to sit in judgement.... ironically as he did over Clarence Thomas... at about the same time that he was harassing a staffer.

She DID come out with it 30 years ago.... and nobody cared.

The Stormy Daniels event was in 2006... and there wasn't an allegation of a crime... so how does that jive with your 5 year window??

If a majority of people agreed with your position, that would be fine... but the fact is that the majority of people do not agree, at least not when it is 'their' guy in the cross-hairs.

I'm not interested in either of these broads and what they have to say now...like I said initially...for consistency's sake.

As is your right... but as I said, plenty of people are... especially when 'their side' is under the microscope.

if we're all going to agree to such a timeframe, that's fine... but as long as someone who SEXUALLY ASSAULTED up to 8 people is going to lead an investigation into someone who HAD CONSENSUAL SEX WITH A PORN STAR, then equal justice is equal justice.

I'd prefer your way, but 'they' don't currently want to play that way.... and I'm not going to hamstring 'my' side if they aren't going to do the same.

Tom gets all gushy about how difficult it must be for a guy to admit that he's been sexually assaulted by another man... or a peer to peer interaction (Anita Hill) but his brethren don't seem to hold women harassed by people IN A POSITION OF POWER over them (Reade and Lewinski for starters) to that same standard.

Seems like the main function of our government is digging dirt on political opponents as opposed to running the country.

30 year old he said she said. The system is broken.

Agree.

Fo is correct that what he says should happen should happen... but the only remotely 'fair' way to do that is to essentially 'pardon' past sins and move forward from today as ground zero. Anything beyond 10am CST on 3/24/23 is going to be fully prosecuted under new, less ambiguous laws.

The right wouldn't have been okay with that under Clinton and the left won't be okay with it under Trump.

MAYBE we can all agree that Trump and Biden are among the worst of the worst, and thus this is a good place to call it quits... and that IMO is out best hope.

Or maybe say... past transgressions are only admissible if you are already in office. If you're new as of today, they're not.

All I’ve asked for is consistent treatment both ways. If it was okay for Ted Kennedy to kill Mary Jo Kopechne, then it’s pretty hard to condemn paying hush money to Stormy Daniels.

Biden accuser, Tara Reade, appears with Russian spy, Marina Butina, & announces her decision to defect to Russia.

You honestly can’t make this **** up…

Curious, which person sexually assaulted up to 8 people and what investigation are they leading?

And are you even aware of what the Story Daniels affair entails? Nowhere is it even remotely related to any sexual harassment claims. So no clue why that even applies here.

And since when is stating factual information that men are reluctant to come forward to report sexual assault at the hands of other men mean I'm "gushy"? Also, not quite sure where you're going here, but perhaps you can point to any place where I excused anyone of an actual sexual assault? Didn't with Bill...didn't with Franken...didn't with Weiner...and I won't with Biden either.

The Tara Reade thing has been around for awhile. The last time I looked into it at all, she was just not credible. Perhaps she has new information? But don't hold your breath. If you're counting on dolts like Gym Jordan, you're going to be sadly disappointed, again.

She was never credible & then within weeks of being asked to testify before Congress, she defects to Russia.

I doubt she be the last…

There are others, though, who are interested. Biden* himself said no one is above the law. Does he really mean it?

All of the #metoo folks... do they really mean it?

Right. Biden needs to be exposed, not prosecuted. Its not like this suddenly appeared. Its been around for 30 years, just never investigated.

Exposed? For what? And as you should be aware, I believe there's been WAY more accusations of sexual misconduct that have been levied against trump. Are you in favor of exposing them/him as well?

That seems to be an odd position to take. You must have some sympathy for her situation, as anyone should for any woman involved in a sexual assault.
