Last Wednesday we wrote about #MeToo allegations against presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden by his former staffer, Tara Reade. Biden has denied groping her.
Now video tape has surfaced of Larry King taking a call from Reade's mother on his CNN show 27 years ago. She was asking how her daughter should have dealt with "problems" with her senator boss, short of going to the press.
CNN hates Trump, makes few bones about it, and hopes for a Biden win this November. Now it turns out call-in comments made on one of their shows could help torpedo Biden’s chances of beating Trump. I love the irony, CNN hoist by their own petard.
This pretty much proves Reade didn't just invent whatever problems she had with Biden since he's run for president. Standards have changed, it is easy to believe 27 years ago her mother didn't want to say explicitly her daughter was sexually assaulted. Victimhood wasn't so prized in 1993.
Etymological Note: Shakespeare’s elegant petard metaphor renders literally in modern English as blown up by one’s own bomb, self-damaging, or in modern slang, a self-own.
Later ... Link to the King video repaired, earlier link went dead. The reason: CNN acting like a cat who had an "accident" on a hard surface ... attempting a coverup.
