Joe Biden is facing a credible accusation of sexual assault from former staffer Tara Reade and so far not responding to the few questions about it being asked. Biden’s VP contenders are being prodded, which is revealing since almost all of them weighed in against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh 18 months ago.

Here is what they have to say about Biden’s accusations now:

Elizabeth Warren

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) came out in defense of Lucy Flores, a woman who accused Biden of inappropriate touching. At the time she said, “I believe Lucy Flores. And Joe Biden needs to give an answer.”

Warren has not responded to Tara Reade’s more serious allegation despite multiple requests for comment. 

Amy Klobuchar

“He has said, and I agree with this, you’ve got to get to the bottom of every case and all allegations. I think the New York Times — I haven’t read all the stories. I read that one.” —Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN)

Appearing on MSNBC, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar said that these allegations had been sufficiently looked into and that the time for scrutiny is over. Her remarks followed talking points the Biden campaign reportedly distributed to its surrogates. 

Kamala Harris

California Democrat Kamala Harris has not been pressed on the Joe Biden allegation even though she is currently one of the finalists in the vice-presidential candidate selection. The senator’s silence is markedly different from her response to the Kavanaugh accusations.

Kirsten Gillibrand

“Vice President Biden has vehemently denied these allegations, and I support Vice President Biden.” —Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

Ever the politician, Gillibrand seems to have zero qualms trying to squash Reade’s accusation, even though she still wants to portray herself as a champion of the #MeToo movement. This represents a complete 180 from her response to the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh. Yet it has become the new normal for the female Democrats who want to be the next vice president.

Tammy Baldwin

“There’s a failure to understand how one’s actions impact others.” —Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI)

Senator Tammy Baldwin’s statement seems to suggest that Reade’s accusation contains an element of truth but absolve Biden of malicious intent. Baldwin mentioned the New York Times’ article the Biden campaign has promoted, falsely claiming that it indicated there was no corroboration for Reade’s claim. This is a more subtle, but still remarkably different tact than Baldwin’s response to Dr. Ford’s allegation against Justice Kavanaugh.

Tammy Duckworth

Senator Duckworth (D-IL) has not commented publicly on the Reade allegations, despite multiple requests to do so over the past month.

Here’s what she had to say about Justice Kavanaugh as the Senate prepared to vote on his nomination:

Jeanne Shaheen

Fox News could not find any public comments made by Shaheen since Reade’s allegations broke. The New Hampshire Senator has neither responded to the network’s requests for comment.

Before voting against Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation, Shaheen spoke on the floor of the Senate, emphatically declaring: “Dr. Ford’s bravery has given so many women in this country the courage to tell their stories. She gave others courage and we have seen an outpouring from survivors who now feel like they too can come forward… These wounds are real. The wounds are raw. And it is incumbent on all of us in this body, regardless of where you stand on Brett Kavanaugh; it’s incumbent on all of us to not deepen those scars by diminishing the pain of these women as political theatre. This is not political theater, and it should not be viewed through a partisan lens.”

Catherine Cortez Masto

Like Shaheen, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) has maintained radio silence on the inconvenient Biden allegation. But she had a very different tune when accusations roiled Justice Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

Maggie Hassan

Hassan along with Sheehan represent New Hampshire in the U.S. Senate. A small but politically significant state Hillary Clinton won by a whisker in 2016. While Hassan was quick to condemn Kavanaugh in an impassioned floor speech she hasn’t said anything about Reade’s revelations.

  1. Joe Biden looks to be the hob that will kill the Obama Administration – which is the shadow government which is why everyone knows every one of their names since media are the criminal elves that package them for us every day in bows and pretty lights to hide the monstrous murder-of-the-nation darkness they all are – so that’s something to be ‘grateful’ for Joe still being around.

  2. I love it when the Dumbocrats show their
    Hypocrisy and the news media tries jumps to their defense even when clear evidence shows they are lying. They are really just helping DJT get re-elected in 2020 and continue to drain the Democrat swamp. True Americans have the opportunity to stop this socialist movement in 2020.
    Ex Vet & Patriot

  3. I love this line from another article – ” his campaign “has sought to coordinate and unify Democratic messaging on the matter,” – Isn’t that just another way of saying that they are getting their stories – uh LIES – straight?

  4. They are ALL politicians. And since they are Democrats, they have NO MORALITY or ETHICS. What can up expect? They will find NO fault with Biden. This is the pattern of women in general.
    Remember how Palin lost her memory and endorsed McCain in his last Senate race? THAT shows a lack of ethics.
    Here is ethics. WHAT IS RIGHT IS RIGHT. AND WHAT IS WRONG IS WRONG. It makes no difference who the person is. Just like they were standing before God.

  5. So it is clear that it is OK to report sexual harassment and sexual assault against a man, but only if he is a Republican. If you are a Democrat male you are free to rape and pillage, as long as you are connected of course. Now we know what drives a Bill CLinton to push to become Governor and President, the Dems are attracting all sexual predators to run for office, assuring them there is safe haven if they play ball. THAT IS THE REAL #METOO MOVEMENT FOUNDATION TODAY!

    1. ”I believe women, and I believe survivors of violence always deserve to be supported and to have their voices heard.” All Rape accusers must be believed, women like Crystal Magnum, Susan Shannon, ”Jackie” of the UVA, Columbia’s ‘Mattress Girl’, Emma Sulkowicz, Wanetta Gibson, Tawana Brawley, Gregory Counts and Van Dyke Perry’s accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, Julie Swetnick etc.. They would never lie, unless Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, Keith Ellison, Anthony Weiner, Robert Müeller, Al Franken, etc. are accused.

  6. For sleepy Joe: Proverb said: among 36 strategies , RUN AWAY is number 1 tactic. Lie deny many times something, finally people believe it.

  7. Now the Trump supporters refused to take the accusations against Kavanaugh seriously, so why would you expect Biden supporters to take this seriously. When you create a one way street, like with Kavanaugh, do not think anyone is going to make it a two way street for the same people who wanted it a one way street. I do not have a doubt one that both are as guilty as the accusations say, in the long run something that happened 30 years ago or 50 years ago is not a pattern of bad behavior in any way, it just shows that things happen in one’s life that they most likely regret.

    1. Biden’s accuser has people that actually support her claims. She told many people that confirm that she had relayed her account at the time. Her mother also called CNN to express her displeasure that her daughter had to endure such an attack. CNN has misplaced that Larry King interview. Dr. Christine Blasey Ford had no corroborating witnesses, could not remember what house she was at, could not remember what year she said it happened, could not remember who attended the party and never reported it. Luckily Kavanaugh kept a diary or calendar of his life experiences

    2. @ Roberts it’s not about Trump supporters believe Kavanaugh and not believe Biden it’s about how with Kavanaugh there was no evidence any rape against Christian B Ford as with Biden there is the friend and the brother and the mother of Tara and the report that Tara filed at her workplace against Biden !!

  8. Really it just illustrates in Technicolor, the Hypocrisy inherent in the Democrat Party. The difference between Ford’s allegations and the complete lack of evidence supporting her accusations, versus Reade’ allegations and documented supporting evidence is crystal clear. Even if there was DNA evidence and eyewitnesses with Audio Video footage of Dementia Joe’s sexual assault on Reade, the Democrats and their Lame Stream Media cohorts in crime, would claim any excuse but the truth. It’s a GOP led character assassination of the man with more than a dozen complaints of inappropriate behavior towards females, whose the personification of integrity per Nasty Nancy Antoinette. Nasty Nancy wouldn’t know integrity if it crawled up her leg and left a deposit. No, the Democrats will make Reade’ life a living Hell, just like they did with Broderick, Lewinsky and so many others, rather than admit Sleazy Joe can’t keep it in his pants (just like Hunter).

  9. He’s thinking of a female VP to hopefully draw in the female vote…. Strategy or using a woman for personal gain-???

  10. Who in the Republican Party is running this Insane Asylum ?
    The Criminal operation in UKRAINE, in which Biden participated are CRIMES, by his own admission he committed them. Why in God’s name are they screwing around with this Reade situation, which in the scheme of things is not provable and past the Statute of Limitations. With the Ukraine crimes he can at least be INDICTED.

  11. She is a disgrace and a disappointment to all honest women. There is much corroboration of
    Reade’s accusations. These skanks backed Blaisey Ford and she couldn’t even hardly remember her name much less anything else. (Which later she admitted her accusations were a lie paid for by the Left). Does that not make you wonder about the ethics and honesty of anyone on the Left? Can’t trust a one of them any farther than you can throw them.

  12. Biden is a elitist who thinks he can do anything he pleases with impunity. Well
    Warren is not better. She thinks she can say and do anything and it is fine and
    good. She lied about Kavanaugh and she is lying about Biden. She has the ethics
    of a sewer rat and so does Biden. Reade has backup and Blaisey Ford couldn’t remember
    her name.( Later she admitted she had lied and she was put up to this stunt by the Left),
    Typical of what you can expect from a bunch of frauds.

  13. These people who are now saying they have known Joe Biden for years, I want to tell them
    that Ted Bundy’s Family and friends knew him too! They didn’t Know he was a serial Killer.
    And that goes for ALL serial killers, High school shooters etc. You really don’t, Really know
    anybody do you? So stop saying that. They are not going to Rape, Steal, Kill or commit crimes in public.
