Bill Maher draws woke backlash by questioning Tara Reade and ‘believe women’ standard

Liberal HBO host Bill Maher isn’t exactly a stranger to controversy. With his latest comments on Friday night’s Real Time With Bill Maher questioning Tara Reade’s assault allegation against Joe Biden, Maher has sparked backlash once again.

In his monologue on the subject, Maher makes some arguments that unfairly discount Reade’s charge, like citing her political beliefs, and he overlooks the ample corroboration now bolstering her account. But he’s well within his rights to question why she waited so long and has changed her story, and raises very valid points about the Democratic Party’s incoherent position on these issues.
