Naturally there are opinions on that Biden-MSNBC interview

Andrea Widberg: Biden's interview with Mika looked okay but was, in fact, a train wreck    . . . Biden looked unusually alert and tracked fairly well for most of the interview until he got tired and confused (at the 14-minute mark).  More disturbing than that were the misrepresentations and elisions that made it appear as if he were answering the questions when, in fact, he wasn't.  Most surprisingly, Biden insisted that it would be better for him if nobody could see his records before the election.
Biden began by doing what he had to, which was unequivocally denying that he assaulted Reade: . . ."

Ethel C. FenigTurns out Biden does not 'believe all women'
. . . "That is why he cluelessly nominated his old Democratic pal from the Senate, Chris Dodd (Conn.) to be part of his vice presidential vetting team.  Yes, that Dodd, who with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass.) squeezed a petite waitress between them for a senatorial sandwich.  
"It all leaves Tarana Burke, one of the founders of the #MeToo movementconfused. "

Guess Who the NYT Wants to Investigate Tara Reade's Sexual Assault Allegation Against Joe Biden  Yes! The DNC! What could go wrong?: "This editorial board, however, is delusional if they believe the DNC will give Tara Reade a fair shake. They've done everything to cover for Biden since he announced his campaign last year.". . . 
"This editorial board, however, is delusional if they believe the DNC will give Tara Reade a fair shake. They've done everything to cover for Biden since he announced his campaign last year. They ignore the dozens of times he's conveniently "forgot" important information, like what office he's running for, what state he's in or even how many grandkids he has." . . .

My take is that Lynda LaCasse isn’t a terribly politically sophisticated person which I think helps explain the vagueness of some of her comments about Biden. But her memory of what Reade told her 25 years ago seems clear and full of detail.  We’ve seen what happens to witnesses that disappoint the left. I wonder if there will be a campaign to harass Lynda LaCasse.



MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace: ‘The Right Running A Smear Campaign Against Joe Biden

Biden Wasn’t So Silent When It Came To Charges Against Bloomberg  . . ."He continued his currently hypocritical pummeling of Bloomberg in a tweet, “You think that women, in fact, were ready to say, ‘I don’t want anybody to know about what you did to me.’ That’s not how it works. The way it works is they say, ‘Look, this is what you did to me’ and the mayor comes along and his attorneys say, ‘I will give you this amount of money if you promise you’ll never say anything. That’s how it works.”
