Perspectives: Tara Reade's Sexual Assault Allegations

Summary from the AllSides News Team

Following former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's denial this week of sexual assault allegations levied against him by former staffer Tara Reade, opinion and analysis pieces have weighed the credibility of the purported victim's accusations and the media's varying response to them. While many figures on the left have questioned Reade's background and the details of her account, others have expressed sympathy with her struggle to attract attention to her story. Many on the right, meanwhile, have criticized a perceived double standard between the way Biden and other prominent politicians have been treated in similar sexual assault scandals.
