Just hours before he accepts the Democratic Party’s nomination for president, Joe Biden is getting slammed anew with allegations of sexual harassment from a new website highlighting the claims against the longtime senator and two-term vice president.
The address of the site, WomenforBiden.com, appears to be pro-Biden, but it is the brainchild of a conservative activist and former Trump aide who said he believes the media and Democrats should look into the claims against the Democrat as hard as they did those against President Trump and Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
“This is my way of educating people on what’s happening with Biden,” said David Blair, a political consultant. He said that there has been a “glaring double standard” on how the charges against Biden and Trump and Kavanaugh have been pursued.
Biden faced a recent claim of harassment from a former aide, Tara Reade, who said that in 1993, he touched her inappropriately. At the time, Sen. Kamala Harris, now on Biden’s ticket, said she believed Reade and others making charges.
Biden denied the claims.
WomenforBiden.com looks like a Biden website. The homepage reads “Women for Joe” and lists quotes from the “women who encounter Joe Biden.”
But the quotes are from eight women who have said they felt uncomfortable around Biden.
And it is under a quote from Harris, who said of the accusers, “I believe them, and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it.”
It also includes a petition to have the University of Delaware release his Senate records that may hold information on any claims of sexual harassment against him.
“We want Joe to be transparent,” said Blair.
The website also includes links to the Trump campaign and its Women for Trump site.
Blair, who helps campaigns with digital media, said he was surprised that the website was available. The Trump campaign owns its WomenforTrump.com. Blair said he bought it for just $12.
The Trump site is busy and includes platforms and links to events. The Biden campaign site dedicated to women has none of that and is a fundraising vehicle.
