Joe Biden accused of sexual assault by a former Senate staffer who worked for him. This is a huge mess for the Democrats based on the precedent they set in the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. There is far more evidence against Biden here than against Kavanaugh: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/12/us/politics/joe-biden-tara-reade-sexual-assault-complaint.html?referringSource=articleShare

Biden was also an adult in a supervisory role at the time of this allegation as opposed to Kavanaugh being a high school kid. My position in all these cases has been to look at all the evidence and not believe anyone based on their gender. But Democrats argued #BelieveAllWomen.

The biggest issue here is that Democrats, including Biden, were completely wrong to embrace the idea that you should believe someone based on their gender. Biden’s own words trap him here. Precedents matter and should be applied evenly regardless of race, gender, or party.

This is also an amazing Tweet from @nytimes.
