Then, Tara Reade dropped a bombshell, alleging that the same politician known for publicly groping and sniffing women and children had sexually assaulted her. The media assiduously ignored Reade's allegations as long as they could and eventually reported on them only to dismiss both Reade and the allegations.
The media’s worst nightmare came true, though, when corroborating evidence about Reade’s allegations started piling up. It was easy enough to downplay corroboration when it came from her brother and a friend. Of course they’d side with her. But when a phone call from Reade’s mother to the Larry King show in 1993 — a time contemporaneous with the event — popped up and Mom was talking about her daughter’s problems with a "prominent senator," things got dicey.
The nightmare reached Stephen King proportions yesterday, when two women who knew Reade in the mid-1990s, not long after the alleged assault, reported that Reade had told them about the assault. While the fact that she told them shortly after she left Biden’s office does not prove that he attacked her, it certainly proves that she’s not creating the story out of whole cloth today for some nefarious purpose.
