In reply to the discussion: A woman falsely accuses Joe Biden of sexual assault [View all]pnwmom
(109,717 posts)19. Okay, but she had an interview as recently as April, where she had a chance to bring up
the assault, if it really happened. And she didn't.
In light of the whole situation, I don't believe her. More information could change my mind, but the Salon writer says she couldn't get the brother to talk to her, or Tara to name the friend she supposedly talked to.
It's rare, but a certain number of women do lie about these things. I haven't seen enough evidence that Tara is telling the truth, and there are some major red flags.

I disagree. Even if it's far from credible, it deserves no status in this election.

I guess I didn't get more out of the Krassenstein piece because I'd read those details

You're right about Goodman, of course. But Amanda Marcotte is a different person

Trashing there is no reason for a Biden supporter to post this...having a pic doesn't really fool
