Oh my Bad. It's believe all Democrat women. Well Tara is a Democrat. So it must be believe all Democrat women unless the assaulter is a Democrat!.
Now you're catching on.
In the midst of the
DEMOCRATS’ campaign to deny Brett Kavanaugh confirmation to the Supreme Court,
Lawfare’s editor in chief, Benjamin Wittes, took to the pages of
The Atlantic to argue that traditional concepts of due process were not applicable under the circumstances.
Justice, he wrote, was merely an “optical” consideration, and in this case, “Kavanaugh himself bears the burden of proof.”
This upending of liberal ideals had nothing to do with the veracity of Christine Blasey Ford’s accusations — opaque, decades old, and unprovable — and everything to do with the accused party, upon whom, Wittes noted, we were about to “bestow an immense honor that comes with great power.”
We don’t know if, in 1993, Joe Biden sexually assaulted a woman named Tara Reade by pressing her up against a wall and digitally penetrating her without her consent.
But under Wittes’s standard, it shouldn’t matter.
Indeed, that we do not know is all that we need to know. No person in America is accorded a more “immense honor” or more “great power” than the president.
Surely, as with Kavanaugh, the existence of the accusation is disqualifying?
Apparently not, for ideals of justice seem to be quite malleable these days.
Journalistic norms, too.
The same media that relayed every unsubstantiated and tawdry rumor during the Kavanaugh confirmation, and that happily transmitted the Michael Avenatti–produced gang-rape smear, treated Reade’s story quite differently.
Why, we might ask, didn’t Reade receive the same coverage as E. Jean Carroll, a woman who accused President Trump of assaulting her in 1995 or 1996 at a Bergdorf Goodman store in Manhattan?
Virtually every major news organization let Carroll tell her story.
Reade has been trying to tell hers for decades. Believe women?
Indeed, to understand how to proceed, the media had only to take the advice of Biden himself, who three years ago argued that society had an obligation to presume that women who come forward with allegations of sexual assault should be believed irrespective of how flimsy that accusation may be: "
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’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time".
