Democratic Party Hypocrisy Persists on Joe Biden Assualt Allegations

Update: Tara Reade has canceled her appearenced on Fox News Sunday, citing death threats, amid Democratic Party operatives launching a character assassination project.The Democratic Party sucks.
 ---
The Democratic Party years-long rhetorical posturing on sexism, sexual assault and sexual harassment is a fraud.

That's the take-away from the Democratic political-media black-out and belated acknowledgment of Tara Reade's assault accusations against Joe Biden.

When the accused perp is the likely presidential nominee for the Democratic Party, there is an accepted framework: Nothing corrupt, criminal or negative ever happened vis a vis Biden, period.

And for context, Joe Biden is a plagiarist, anti-women serial liar, right? Never happened.

"There is a clear double standard between how the media and Democrats treated Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations versus Tara Reade’s allegations," said Mike Davis, who led the Senate effort to confirm Justice Brett Kavanaugh in 2018, (The Hill).

If you think Ms Reade deserves a hearing, and you host a news show on MSNBC, you should be fired, believe Democrats. Ask Chris Hayes, a solitary voice for decency on the fetid DNC network.

Anyone tuning into the softball coverage on Joe Biden's criminal sleaze likely has not heard of extensive corroboration of Ms. Reade's account: Mother calling into the Larry King Show in 1993, referencing the assault, or Reade's neighbor affirming, (see Rich McHugh's work), or other family members of Reade's.

One hopes the work of honest journalists such as McHugh, Krystal Ball, Saagar Enjet, Chris Hayes and others continues.

Many questions can be answered by opening those @UDelaware records. Now the @nytimes editorial board agrees: “Any serious inquiry must include the trove of records from Mr. Biden’s Senate career that he donated to the University of Delaware in 2012.” https://t.co/Ab8SuzPrWU

Stay tuned for Tara Reade's appearance on Fox News Sunday (May 3), because MSNBC, CNN and other liberal media outlets continue to black-out her story.

Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti report in The Hill below (video):

Class played a huge role in how Dems maligned Clinton’s accusers (Carville on Paula Jones: “If you drag a $100 bill through a trailer park, you never know what you’ll find.”).

Class - with rank partisanship - also shapes how they discuss Dr. Christine Blasey Ford vs. Tara Reade.

Democratic Party Shows True Colors, Biden-Sexual Assault Story Must Not Be Pursued

Updated —There is a preeminent commandment among Democratic Party parrots: Thou shall not criticize the chosen one.

So, when a formal Joe Biden staffer, Tara Reade, went public the last year with sexual-assault allegations against Joe Biden, the reaction of the woke-Times Up-identify politics crowd was universal: Don't talk about it!

Search Tara Reade on the MSNBC webpage and the results show one story on Ms. Reade; it's about Nancy Pelosi pronouncing herself "satisfied" with Biden's silence. That's it; that's MSNBC's coverage.

Now, even the New York Times, which has flacked for Biden on the story, had to admit this week ignoring Ms. Reade is no longer a viable option for the embattled candidate who has long had a problem with women, civil liberties and human rights.

Writes Giovanni Russonello this morning:

[A]s chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Biden had presided over Clarence Thomas’s confirmation hearings to the Supreme Court, during which Anita Hill testified that she had been sexually harassed by Thomas; Biden refused to call other women to testify who said they had similar experiences with Thomas. And pro-abortion-rights groups have long been troubled by his past support for the Hyde Amendment, which banned federal funding for most abortions, and which Biden supported until last year. Given Reade’s account, some women’s rights advocates who support his candidacy have said they want him to publicly express that he takes the allegation seriously, even if he rejects it. At the very least, they would like to see Biden draw a sharp contrast with President Trump, who has been accused of sexual harassment and misconduct by at least a dozen women, and who was caught on tape bragging about sexual assault.

Chris Hayes aired a segment last night, (not found on MSNBC webpage this morning), fact-filled, measured and too-tame for the gravity of the story. But Hayes' segment is fair.

Now, Democrats want Chris Hayes fired for his heresy about discussing forbidden topics, a taboo among the Party faithful.

#FireChrisHayes thunders social media comments from Democrats on Twitter this morning.

Democrats are a clique, uncool and sheepish, that cares about women and equality about as much as they care about human rights around the world: None

It’s truly wild. They are calling for him to be fired because he covered a NEWS STORY. This is the level of complete blind propaganda and dnc fealty that the audience expects and demands. https://t.co/F7LIvrjmCn

Chris Hayes is getting pounded by Democrats for making the mortal mistake of covering Tara Reade’s sexual assault accusations against Biden

Gov Scott Walker's Secret Weapon Has Always Been Appeals to Racist, Anti-Semitic, Homophobic Human Garbage

Scott Walker in his essence is a simple bigot, never a
disqualification in Republican politics. From the
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, (Stein).

Madison, Wisconsin — Among major candidates for governor, from whom would you expect to find top staff circulating explicitly homophobic, racist, antisemitic emails?

Few in Wisconsin have to think — it's Scott Walker, (Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, One Wisconsin Now, DemoCurmudgeon).

Scott Walker's staff doesn't kill Jews, gays and blacks.

What they do is make jokes about Jews, gays and blacks and circulate the jokes among themselves.

Remember who Scott Walker is.

Walker is a bigoted, ignorant liar, and to this point has never paid a price because white evangelicals and other assorted bigots here love hate.

MSNBC's Chris Hayes hit on the revelation of Walker's emails four years ago.

Hayes points out "the shear jaw dropping offensiveness" of a few of those emails.

Hayes: "What kind of work environment exactly would it be all okay to get this in your inbox and then forward it to an unspecified amount of coworkers and subordinates...but think about the kind of work environment in which a chief of staff sends this kind of email to his subordinates. An email that is explicitly homophobic, racist, antisemitic and offensive in every way possible? ... These are the thoughts people who are in charge of things like, oh I don't know, running the states welfare system." 

This is who Scott Walker and new Republican Party are.

If anyone is wondering if Republican officeholders criticized Scott Walker's former chief of staff and other Walker aides for this crap, forget it.

No GOP officeholder in Wisconsin ever publicly criticizes Scot Walker and his staff.

Scott Walker Lacks the Intelligence to Serve as President

Scott Walker stumped again as he does nothing to dispel
doubts about his intelligence while campaigning
in New Hampshire. From the Chris Hayes Show

Scott Walker: "There is no such thing as a hypothetical."
-
I thought there were hypotheticals—instructive to understanding what would/should occur in future circumstances.

Typically, when Scott Walker serves up a non-sequitur and incoherent response to the rare question to which he replies in public, a spokesperson and Milwaukee's talk radio step up to clarify what Walker meant to say.

But c'mon Wisconsin Republicans, admit it: Walker lacks the intellect to be president.

Walker—facing plummeting poll numbers and feeling the heat "he has raised questions about if he is actually smart enough to run for president," in the words of a New Hampshire Republican, (Glueck, The Politico)—humiliated himself again trying to respond to an ABC News reporter during a press gaggle Monday in Rochester.

Campaigning in New Hampshire on Labor Day, Scott Walker offered a ridiculous and contradictory response when pressed about what he would do to handle the Syrian Migrant-Refugee crisis. [Segment - All In with Chris Hayes 9/8/15 - 2016 candidates skip specifics on refugee crisis]

In a video (below) of a 2:54-minute segment, Walker became testy with an ABC News reporter and veered once again into incoherence asserting, "There is no such thing as a hypothetical," before offering his opinion of what "people need to do" when he assumed the office of the presidency in January 2017.

Walker should perhaps learn what conditional questions, subjunctive moods and hypotheticals really are.

If a candidate for public office takes the position that no hypothetical questions may be responded to because she or he has not assumed office, what is to become of the campaign pledge, promise and assurance? What about public policy? It can't be discussed because it has not been enacted yet?

Jordyn Phelps of ABC News offers:

As Europe grapples with the mass migration of more than 300,000 refugees fleeing war in Syria, Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker won’t say whether the United States should open its doors to absorb more of the migrants.

Walker’s reason for not taking a stand is that he says it would be hypothetical for him to do so since he is not currently the president. 

A transcript of the exchange is below:

ABC News Reporter: What would you do to address the migrants who are currently fleeing into Europe? Does (sic), should the U.S. accept some of those migrants into the country?

Scott Walker: "Well, again the problem is we're ignoring the basis of the core of the problem. The problem is this president has had a weak stance in terms of taking on ISIS."

ABC News Reporter: But to follow up, if you were president today, what would you do?

Scott Walker: "I'm not president today, and I can't be president today. I'm going to be president in January of 2017 and I'm telling you what people need to do. Everybody wants to talk about hypotheticals. There is no such thing as a hypothetical."

[Notes Jaime Fuller in New York Magazine: "(This is) a sentence that probably would have moved Socrates to set Walker's pants on fire himself." Note to Mr Fuller: See Walker's May 2015 "That's a hypothetical question in the past. We're going to talk about the future," before Walker rushed away from a group of reporters in Michigan. (Mal Contends and Bloomberg Politics News, Scott Walker Tiptoes Past Michigan Reporters' Most Common Question). Hypothetically, I think Socrates would have poisoned Scott Walker out of exasperation.]

ABC News Reporter: Governor, the fact that these refugees need a place to go is not a hypothetical, and Pope Francis has even come in and said that countries need to help them. I mean, should the U.S. play an active role?

Scott Walker:  "Again. I'm taking about what I'll do as president ... that will be a year and half from now."
---
In terms of being president were such a phenomenon to take place, Scott Walker does not, like, know what he should do because of his new epistemological rule: "There is no such thing as a hypothetical." Or is this a new new metaphysics discovered on the presidential campaign trail, 2015? The Bradley Center is calling you, Scott Walker.
