The way Tara Reade’s allegations have been handled by much of the media, comparing it in the most idiotically concrete way to how Blasey Ford’s allegations were handled—It feels like we have entered the theatre of the absurd.
In this morning’s interview on the Morning Joe show, Mika Brzezinski keeps coming back to this concrete assertion that Biden’s past statements mean that he must believe Tara Reade now (from Atlantic article above):
Brzezinski: Well, I’m going to try to ask many different ways. Stacey Abrams said during the Kavanaugh hearings, “I believe women. I believe women. I believe survivors of assault should be supported, voices should be heard.” Kirsten Gillibrand tweeted, “Do we believe women? Do we give them the opportunity to tell their story? We must be a country that says yes every time.” They now both support you. Nancy Pelosi falls into this category too, as well as many other leaders in the Democratic Party. Are women to be believed unless it pertains to you?
Talk about gaslighting! Do you believe her allegation even though you are saying that what she has alleged didn’t happen? And, Sir, just when did you stop beating your wife?
