Democrat Joe Biden’s team is forced to desperately justify a U.S. presidential candidate who was overly attracted to the opposite sex right in one of Washington’s office buildings.
Biden got into a sexual scandal – the victim told of an incident in a basement on Capitol Hill.
This was reported on Monday, April 13, the agency “Associated Press,” referring to the statements of Tara Reed, a former employee of Biden’s apparatus when he was a senator.
As noted in the media, these allegations have not become anything new. Reed spoke twice about what happened in an AP interview and also made a public statement last year accusing Biden of “inappropriate touching”. However, last week she wrote a statement to the capital police, saying she was “a victim of sexual assault. The Associated Press office was able to get a copy of the statement.
The incident allegedly took place in the spring of 1993 in the basement of an office building right on Capitol Hill, the government quarter of Washington, where the U.S. Congress building is located. That day, Chief Reid asked her to bring Biden a gym bag – the senator was going to the gym. When they met, Biden pressed Reed against the basement wall and began harassing her.
He whispered to me and tried to kiss me at the same time, and he asked if I wanted to go somewhere else,” she said. – I remember wanting to say “stop,” but I don’t know if I said it out loud or just thought. It was like I was paralyzed.
When Reed did push Biden away, he looked “shocked and surprised”, she said. He said: “come on, I heard you liked me.”
The media say Biden was also accused of harassment by other women who faced inappropriate touching. At the same time, Democrat campaign director of public relations Kate Beadingfield insistently denies what happened. She refers to the fact that Biden was a women’s rights activist. Biden and other members of his team are protecting him.
However, Reed said that after the incident, she filed a written report with the Senate Human Resources Department, but the archive files were sent to the University of Delaware, which has not yet made them public. Reed also complained to her direct superiors about the incident, which eventually cost her the job.
At least four people knew about the incident until it became public knowledge. One of them, on condition of anonymity, confirmed to journalists that Reed had told them about the harassment in 1993. He also admitted that he had advised Reed not to spread the word about it, given how the administration responded to her complaints.
