    "After reiterating the allegations against Biden, Carlson said, “But there is evidence on the other side as well, and we feel honor-bound to tell you about it. Just last year, Tara Reade told a very different story about what happened with Joe Biden. In 2019, she said he touched her inappropriately on the neck and shoulders. She said not that she was fired for complaining about harassment, much less being penetrated by Joe Biden. She then said she was fired because she refused to serve drinks at an event.”

    Carlson then pointed out that Reade was a Bernie Sanders supporter, and questioned the timing and motive behind her allegations against Biden.

    "There’s the question of Reade’s politics,” Carlson said. “We normally wouldn’t get into that because it’s not germane. But keep in mind this story is unfolding during a presidential campaign. And it’s also playing out against the backdrop of fierce infighting within the Democratic Party.” Carlson later went on to add, “It’s notable that before Joe Biden started beating Bernie Sanders in the primary, Tara Reade wasn’t attacking Joe Biden, instead she had effusively positive things to say about him. In 2017, Tara Reade repeatedly praised Joe Biden for his work against sexual assault.”

    While appearing to remain skeptical of Reade, Carlson wanted to make clear he was not trying to insinuate that she’s lying.

    “Political imperatives sometimes influence claims like this,” Carlson said. “That does not mean that Tara Reade is some kind of liar or is a devious partisan. We don’t know that is true and we are not saying it now. To be clear, we are not asserting that.”

    Yeah, but you gotta admit that at least the comic relief was entertaining.

    Yeah, this one and the Ford one are obviously politically driven, imo. This women tat come out just at the right time can be seen through easily. Unless of course there is real evidence and a reported crime.

    I don’t remember where I heard the news story, but they said Tara Reade was praising Biden on his stance on Women should be believed 2 years ago. Anyone have that link?

    give me a break....this entire country has become polarized behind Trump....pussy grabbing ..porn star chasing guy that apparently people looked the other way to vote for.....choices...ever cross your mind that even if both candidates are flawed...one might build a better cabinet to serve the country than the other? That's almost always the case in election years...partisan politics have polarized the country for most of your life.....this is not news. Tara Reade should try Joe in court immediately if she's telling the truth....the fact that she hasn't, well......Stormy Daniels went to court for her case even after being paid off...if you have some evidence, you should give it to the authorities and help Tara's case if it seems so shocking and ignored ......if it's true..Joe should be in a holding cell right now. If it's not true, well it hurts the #metoo movement

    This is a wrong argument to make for many reasons:
    1.) Joe Biden was supposed to be the moral alternative of that Pussy Grabbing Orange Man Bad. Bringing up "Orange Man Bad so it's okay Sleepy Joe can do it" doesn't justify this claim.
    2.) The #MeToo movement were supposed to believe all victims of sexual assault. This was the rule of the left, not the right. Again, bringing up Trump doesn't justify not investigating the Tara Reide allegation.
    3.) Stormy Daniels has publicly said none of this happened. She was represented by an attorney that is in Prison for extortion. He was a slimy lawyer that is guilty of the crime that he used against the President.
    4.) Both candidates are flawed argument will not win the White House for Biden. Only one of them has proven to overcome being flawed and that's not Biden.

    both candidates being flawed is not making an argument...it's reality...Biden has survived over 40 years in politics...so saying Trump is the survivor is not a sensible view....my post said the reason the author would still vote for Joe over Trump is not because of morality but rather because one guy build a team and the other guy can't.....that's my view as well. Stormy Daniels didn't let Trump off the hook, she dumped her lawyer....Trump dumped his lawyer too over the same case....I'm not reliving the news spin for the last 3.5 years to argue the point..to me it's obvious...I understand why the editor wrote the piece...and it's not shocking at all. You can vote for the guy you think is morally superior...I'm looking for stability at the top instead

    Ummmm.....your boy has NOT overcome being flawed. If anything, his flaws have become more glaring. I guess we’ll have to see who’s flaws are less of a liability this November.

    He sure has. Multiple sexual rape allegations were being spread during the 2016 general. Who's your president Cliffy?

    What scares the crap out of me is that we have seen how trump wants to be a dictator, but having to run for reelection has limited him somewhat. I can't imagine what he will be like knowing he has a pretty much guaranteed 4 more years. Might be time to call some of my Canadian relatives. :bgrin:

    Actually, I don’t have one. And I have never referred to the current Oval Office occupant as “President” unless it was followed by “idiot”, or “moron”. whatever derogatory term comes to mind in the moment. Yes, Trump is now the occupant. He proved that the American people in general do not care about sexual assault (unless it is somehow directly connected to them personally). People wanted change, so they voted the guy in. I think more people are going to want change in November and he’ll be voted out. I find it amusing that credible sexual assault allegations against Trump are okay, but Biden must be dumped over a very shaky accusation. Rail all you want at the Democratic leadership, but as we all found out the hard way in 2016, it’s the people who cast the votes. I guess we’ll see how it all pans out in November.

    #fakepresident…..and to think you trusted Google? HAHAHAHAHAHA......I personally wouldn't shake Trump's hand or salute him....I think he's a blatant liar and sleazebag...one who has now been impeached for a lack of integrity.....not for getting a blow job

    Your opinion doesn't change the fact he is your president. Look at all the Bills passed from 2017-present. You will see Donald Trump's Signature.

    Facts Don't Care About Your Feelings.
