Why is everyone too timid to call this woman out?

She's a liar with an agenda.
Ryan Grim is a liar with an agenda.
Katie Halper. is a liar with an agenda.
Sean King is a liar with an agenda.

Stop coddling Tara Reade.

Instead of humoring her or twisting yourself into a knot pretending to "believe" her in the spirit of MeToo, we should acknowledge she's a deeply disturbed woman being exploited by Bernie & Co.

The sooner this is over, the sooner she can get help.

What's more:

I am so fucking sick of people saying Tara Reade's story "should be investigated."

IT HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED.

Every major media outlet in the world published about in on Easter Sunday and said there was nothing to it.

3/
Salon investigated and found nothing.

Amanda-freaking-Marcotte doesn't believe her and said she was a disgrace to MeToo.

When Amanda Marcotte doesn't believe you, you've got nothing.

It should have been over. It WAS over.

Then AOC woke up 4 days later and didn't see her name in the headlines. This was not going to work for her.

AOC decided she could make a headline by joining the rest of Bernie & Co by championing Tara's bizarre story.

So now it's back.

Seriously, y'all.

MeToo was never supposed to mean "Believe ALL women."

It was supposed to mean, "Don't DISBELIEVE women automatically, investigate their claims."

6/
When you start "Believing" women AFTER their claims have been investigated and disproven, you are disrepecting real survivors and make real victims less likely to be taken seriously.

That's the opposite of MeToo.

Juanita Broderick testified under oath TWICE that she made the whole thing up.

Ken Starr would have killed or died to charge Bill Clinton with an actual crime, but even he concluded there was nothing that.

Putting forth a liar would have hurt his entire case.

8/
She disappeared after that. Then Trump decided it was politically useful to put her "story" back in the headlines.

Now Chelsea Handler "believes" her despite all evidence, for no other reason than she's a woman who has accused a powerful man.

This is bad for ALL women.
9/
It is not disloyal to survivors to question women with questionable "stories."

It is disloyal NOT to.

Lumping real survivors into the same category as Broderick, "mattress girl" and Tara Reade is hurts everyone's credibility.

Worse, it undermines the entire movement.
