It’s something to watch Democrats scrambling to explain their double standards when it comes to the sexual assault allegations by former staffer Tara Reade against Joe Biden.
The very same people who vilified Brett Kavanaugh on no evidence want to give Joe Biden a pass with an accuser who has far more evidence. Kavanaugh never had a blemish against him, Ford never had contemporaneous witnesses saying that she told them, she couldn’t even say where it happened, her story kept changing and the alleged “witnesses” she said were at the party said they don’t remember there ever being such a party. Yet Democrats pushed the fiction because it politically served them.
Now, the opposite is true. Regardless of the fact that Joe Biden has a pattern of inappropriate behavior and Reade has 5 witnesses to whom she conveyed all or part of her story, Democrats are willing to dismiss her because it serves them politically.
But there are some who even go a step further.
Here’s the horrific take of Lisa Bloom, Gloria Allred’s daughter and the woman who claims she fights for victims of harassment and abuse (but who also represented Kathy Griffin and Harvey Weinstein).
I believe you, Tara Reade.
You have people who remember you told them about this decades ago.
We know he is "handsy."
You're not asking for $.
You've obviously struggled mightily with this.
I still have to fight Trump, so I will still support Joe.
But I believe you. And I'm sorry https://t.co/eMUBrkkVFE— Lisa Bloom (@LisaBloom) May 1, 2020
What the heck?
She made it worse with this:
The only alternative is Trump, credibly accused of sexual misconduct by over 20 women and who openly bragged about sexual assault. I represented 4 of them.
We’ve only 2 choices.
Trump’s ignorance and arrogance has resulted in COVID deaths of tens of thousands.
Far worse.

Funny how those cases disappeared, isn’t it?
Then she even tried to use Reade against herself.
Biden will appoint a progressive female VP, and has a long history of fighting for women’s rights. Trump opposes everything I care about: climate change, human rights, treating immigrants with respect.
I understand Ms. Reade has this same struggle as she opposes Trump too.

No, Reade, while a Democrat, did not indicate that she would vote for Biden in any way.
But translation: Bloom wants a Democrat to win, even if she thinks he’s a rapist. It’s hard to get worse than that. But she’s the one who represented the execrable Weinstein so we already know where she’s willing to go.
The backlash for her position was overwhelming.
WTF…. Weinstein apologist, Lisa Bloom: “I believe you, Tara, but I still have to vote for Joe”?
Bloom…..you’re an idiot. https://t.co/FnyPOifCH9

Well at least @LisaBloom is honest in her hypocrisy & support for Beijing @JoeBiden – she outright admits that @TheDemocrats are the party of misogyny & that the abuse & harm to an individual means nothing in their Soviet push for power over the American people – really #walkaway https://t.co/7P461Q3QqS

Translation: it really is all about politics.

This might actually be worse than just straight up not believing her. Please exit the public arena
