By her own admission, Tara Reade’s life has been complicated. Some of the details, like an abusive marriage that culminated in the court granting her a restraining order against her ex-husband and full custody of their daughter, are proven beyond most reasonable doubt. Others, like whether she actually finished her undergraduate degree program at Antioch University before getting her law degree, seem dubious at best. But the question of whether Joe Biden sexually assaulted her one spring day in 1993 is still that: a question, one not yet proven or disproved.
Yet the media hasn’t treated it as such. Rather than focus on the actual evidence surrounding the day and time in question, tens of thousands of words have been dedicated to digging up every aggrieved acquaintance in her past to smear her as a destitute trickster who can’t be trusted. And as of yesterday, they effectively forced her lawyer off her case.
