I really did not want to have to address this stupid, bullshit "Tara" crap tonight, but since Ryan Grim deliberately shopped it to the campaign oppo arm of the GOP, the Media Research Center, I have to.

The "bombshell" concerns a woman calling into the Larry King show in 1993, when King was discussing the death of Vincent Foster (which, coincidentally, spawned and still has, a million conspiracy theorists today).

The woman, Grim is claiming, is Tara Reade's (real name Alexandra Tara McCabe) mother, who is dead.

The woman says her daughter recently left the employ of a senator and had a problem working there, and didn't know how to go about resolving it without going to the press.

The woman claims her daughter would not go to the press "out of respect" for said senator.

This is literally all that was said.

Number one: Tara herself lied about what her supposed mother said to King.

Tara's version is her mother literally told Larry King her daughter was sexually assaulted or raped in that episode.

Except the woman never said this. We have the video and transcript to prove it.

So right off the bat, Reade lied like she always does.

Further, in her 2019 story (in which she did *not* say she was assaulted nor raped), she makes it explicit she isn't blaming Biden for her issues: https://mobile.twitter.com/FliedGaff/status/1253810052948873217

Reade is a known liar and scammer who has been sued many times and been involved in many frivolous lawsuits, including one for claiming she was discriminated against for being white.

An account on here, @mare_rescue, which she once worked for, went public, full of documents both financial and otherwise and photographic evidence, proving Reade is a fraud and liar.

Reade herself is a Russian imperialist, meaning she sides with Russia and blames the United States in all affairs, she wrote numerous blog posts effusively praising Russia and Putin in particular, which she has since deleted.

In this screenshot, you can see Reade communicating with Ryan Grim, the main pusher of this smear, the very night Joe Biden won South Carolina.

Notice what she is saying. And how clearly political it is.

Reade is a fervent supporter of Bernie Sanders, having repeatedly used the hashtag "BernieIsOurFDR", and urging others to "burn down the DNC" and to "fuck unity".

In summary, this is all bullshit.

Oh one final thing:

Reade claims she filed a complaint with the senate about *sexual harassment*, not rape.

Yet there is no record of this, which under federal records keeping laws, there must be.

The Associated Press also talked to *21* former Biden staffers who worked for Biden in the senate at the time.

Every last one denied anything like what Reade claims happened ever happened, to her or anyone else.
