So Joe Biden had himself a rough 24 hours, a very rough 24 hours. So here's what happened.

Over the past 48 hours, the dam has started to break on the Tara Reid allegation.

So Tara Reid came out almost over a month ago, I believe, and made the allegation that back in

1993, when she was a Senate staffer for Joe Biden, he called her into a little used corridor

in the Senate. And there he proceeded to sexually molester essentially, like pick up her skirt

and then put his fingers inside her, like actual penetrative sexual assault. I mean, it's a sexual assault by definition.

Any penetration, forcible penetration is sexual assault. So she alleged this. And then everybody

ignored it. And then she came forward with a bunch of people who she had told contemporaneously.

Now, that is not dispositive. For people in the media who don't understand the word dispositive, dispositive means that does not mean that the case is disposed of because of these allegations, meaning just because you told somebody at the time something happened, doesn't mean it went down that way, doesn't mean that you remembered correctly. But it does mean that you've been telling the story for 30 years, that you didn't make it up in the last five minutes. So Tara Reid originally had a couple people she had told, she told her mom, she told her brother, her mom called into Larry King Live and actually made a sort of oblique reference to it back in 1993. And then it turned out there were two additional people who said, on the record, that she had told them about this allegation. So all of this starts to mount because, after all, the Democratic Party has been pushing the Believe All Women, hashtag Me Too movement for years, mainly to get Trump. Remember, nobody cared about Harvey Weinstein in Hollywood for years, and then Trump was elected, and it was like, okay, we're going to have to get rid of all these bad, bad, terrible men. Sure, we had Bill Clinton, and sure we had JFK, and sure we had Ted Kennedy,

and sure we had Chris Dodd, and sure we had, you know, a lot of people who were sort of famously going around town and molesting women, but, or allegedly molesting women, but at the same time, you know, they were important people. Trump, we got to get out of office. Now it's time to change the standard. We'll hold ourselves to a better standard. And they did overtly change the standard, Senator Kristen Gillibrand, who had been hobnobbing with the Clintons, turned on a dime and said, if I had been around when Bill Clinton was doing this, maybe we should have gotten rid of Bill Clinton in 1998, after all, over the Monica Lewinsky and Paula Jones stuff. Maybe we should have gone ahead and done that. Okay, well, now Joe Biden is the nominee, and this allegation comes forward. And Joe Biden's original strategy is we'll have, we'll put out a statement denying

it. And then that's, that's all we're going to do about it. We're just going to sit here silently. And the media basically go along with this. Tara Reid, the person who made the allegation, is not asked on a single national news show. There's an entire article in the New York Times yesterday about this by Ben Smith, who's actually doing a pretty good job over at the New York Times. He's to be the editor-in-chief over at BuzzFeed. Now he's reporting over at the New York Times. He's their media columnists. And he says, the mainstream American media in 1999, for reasons that are hard to explain or excuse today, got cold feet on a credible allegation of rape against the president. He's referring to Juanita Broderick. After NBC News sat for weeks on an exclusive interview, Broderick went on to the only people who had listened to her, Mr. Clinton's partisan enemies at the Wall Street Journal editorial page. That move helped turn her straightforward allegation into a weaponized political story. And while Americans watching at home could make up their own minds about Juanita Broderick's credibility, they were left with new reasons to shake their head at the media. The same thing is about to happen again.

A former Senate aide for Joe Biden, Tara Reid, has accused the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee of sexually assaulting her in 1993. Reporters have found other accounts that indicate she's been telling her version of events for a long time. There are, as with Juanita Broderick, reasons to doubt her story. There aren't good reasons not to hear her out. And yet, Reid told me Wednesday the only offers she's had to appear on television have come from Fox News, including a call from primetime host Sean Hannity, she has so far turned them down. She said, I've been trying to just kind of wait to get someone in the middle. I don't want to be pigeonholed as a progressive. I don't want to be pigeonholed as a Trump supporter. CNN, NBC, MSNBC, whose DNA,
