There’s perhaps nothing more appalling in politics than a prominent politician receiving special treatment while actively seeking to deny the rights of his constituents. And that’s exactly what presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is currently doing with his rejection of the Trump administration’s Title IX reforms, which restore due process for college men accused of sexual assault.
After former Biden staffer Tara Reade accused the former vice president of having sexually assaulted her in 1993, he emphatically denied it. Meanwhile, Reade has since provided at least two strong examples of contemporaneous corroboration, making her account more likely, but not proving it happened. Biden denies the charge unequivocally, and his Democratic allies have almost all backed him in his denial.
