What @SenGillibrand is effectively saying here—to @BrianLehrer on why she views the allegations against Biden (who she is still supporting) differently from those against Kavanaugh—is that sexual assault allegations against male feminists should carry less weight.

The backlash to the Franken resignation was the canary in the coal mine: while not to the same extent as Republicans, Reade has unequivocally shown that Democrats have different rules for sexual assault allegations when they are against one of their own.

To be fair, the mainstream media has been terrible on covering sexual assault allegations even when Trump is involved https://www.cjr.org/the_media_today/e-jean-carroll-trump-rape.php
