It Took 37 Days For Media To Ask Joe Biden About Tara Reade’s Sexual Assault Accusation

The media afforded former Vice President Joe Biden 37 days of silence in regards to a sexual assault allegation against him.

Biden was directly asked about former Senate staffer Tara Reade’s accusation that he sexually assaulted her in the early 1990s for the first time Friday. Before that moment, Biden had only rejected the accusation through a spokesperson, despite numerous public interviews in the five weeks since Reade publicly accused him.

The presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee denied sexually assaulting Reade on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” Friday.
