Tara Reade accused Joe Biden of assaulting her (CW:Forcing his fingers into her). She tried to come out a long time ago but Time's Up refused to support her claim. A managing director at Time's Up, Anita Dunn, is also Biden's top advisor.
Whether or not the allegations are true, and let's face it it's impossible to verify, this is NOT a good look for Joe. Many people will ignore it, others will sit on the fence, others will fuel the flames, and Republicans will just gleefully note that apparently when it concerns a Democrat, suddenly many Liberals won't believe the woman in this situation.
This has always been my issue with the "believe women" philosophy, as soon as it is someone who people have decided is sufficiently "woke", it goes out the window. If you're going to go with "believe women", at least stick with it

Whether you believe her or not (you should imo) Biden's comment still Aged Like Milk
