Who Is Tara Reade? And Did She Really Accuse Joe Biden Of Sexual Assault?

CALIFORNIA. (THECOUNT) — Tara Reade is a California freelance writer who herself is making headlines after accusing Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993. She reportedly worked as a Biden staffer when the alleged assault took place.

Reade, full name, Alexandra Tara Reade, also claims to be a former intern for Leon Panetta, a Domestic Violence Advocate, Animal Rights Advocate, Actress, Writer and a Poet.

A 2019 story in the Union newspaper in California reported that “employment documents provided by Reade show that she worked in Biden’s office from December 1992 to August 1993,” reports Heavy.

In a statement to Fox News, Biden’s campaign declared Reade’s sexual assault accusation false. “Women have a right to tell their story, and reporters have an obligation to rigorously vet those claims. We encourage them to do so, because these accusations are false,” Kate Bedingfield, deputy campaign manager and communications director for the Biden campaign, said in a statement to Fox News.

Last spring, Biden issued a blanket denial, saying he believes he has never acted inappropriately with women. At that time, Reade had publicly come forward alleging inappropriate touching by Biden but did not make sexual assault accusations then.

Heavy reached out to Biden’s press office for comment on Reade’s new accusations of alleged sexual assault, which she made in a podcast in March 2020, and we will update the story if reaction is received. The Intercept has reported that Reade “first supported Sen. Elizabeth Warren and then Sen. Bernie Sanders.” She has urged people to vote for Sanders on her Twitter page.
