Biden Denies Sexual Assault Allegation: “I Love American Pie as Much as the Next Guy, but Never Met Tara Reid”
by Maxwell Paddington
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former Vice President Joe Biden appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday to publicly address, for the first time, Tara Reade’s allegation that Mr. Biden sexually assaulted her. During the interview, Mr. Biden denied the allegation, stating: “It never happened.”
During the Kavanaugh controversy and hearings, Joe Biden said that women should be believed: “For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she is talking about is real, whether or not she forgets the facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time.”
When asked if Americans should “start off” presuming the essence of the sexual assault allegation is real, Biden’s answer was unequivocal:
“Look, from the very beginning, I’ve said believing women means taking the woman’s claim seriously when she steps forward, and then vet it. Look into it… But in the end, in every case, the truth is what matters. And in this case, the truth is the claims are false. Look, I love American Pie as much as the next guy, but never met Tara Reid.” Biden reiterated, “It never happened, it didn’t.”
