To critics of @TaraReade saying her story changed. It hasn't. Ever. Survivors need time to heal. Space to feel SAFE before coming forward fully w our hearts. This can takes years for stories to fully emerge from behind a shame wall. Know & honor this process.

If you believe Tara Reade’s rape allegation — as Lisa Bloom does here — the only choice is to demand Joe Biden step aside and encourage someone else to step up.
The answer is not “He may be a rapist, it’s true, but he’s our rapist.”
Which is exactly what Lisa Bloom argues here.
I believe you, Tara Reade.
You have people who remember you told them about this decades ago.
We know he is "handsy."
You're not asking for $.
You've obviously struggled mightily with this.
I still have to fight Trump, so I will still support Joe.
But I believe you. And I'm sorry
ENOUGH, JOE BIDEN!
STOP THE ATTACKS
I'm calling on the #Biden campaign to stop the brutal mobbing and character assassination of one of his 9 accusers, #TaraReade.
On #MorningJoe, Biden said he wouldn't assail Reade's motives. And yet, the massive pile-on against her goes on.
Out of the 3 times I was raped I never filed a report. I tried to tell someone the first time and learned no one cared so I stayed quiet the next two times, for years. It doesn't make us liars, it means the system is broken. Not us.
“Joe Biden has denied Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations, but that should not be the end of the inquiry,” said Ms. Hill.
If this is who we’re stuck with, it’s on him to right his wrongs, and if he loses in Nov, it’s his fault and his fault only. https://t.co/zciceLc44k
Whether she used the words "harassment" or "assault" in the report, she describes sexual harassment clearly in the report. Shame on you The AP for such a misleading headline.

Being a public survivor is hell. Trust me. I know. And no one comes forward with these kinds of accusations lightly. We know that the attacks and abuse we will face can destroy our lives. Tara Reade does not deserve this abuse. And all survivors deserve respect. #metoo
Ok, for people who think this doesn’t describe sexual harassment: What would you call making a female subordinate uncomfortable by asking her to serve drinks because she has nice legs? There another term for that?
