Are the Demos going to believe Tara Reade the same they believed Christine Blasey Ford?

Biden supporters face #MeToo reckoning after sexual assault accusation emerges

Of course, Biden defenders may be quick to point out that Reade is a Bernie Sanders supporter, that the timing of her coming forward is indeed politically suspect, and that so far, there is not substantial evidence or corroboration backing her claims. They’re right. As a result, conservatives should maintain that Biden deserves the presumption of innocence. But that was all true for Kavanaugh as well, and Democrats decided it didn’t matter.

Now it’s time that liberals pay the price for their partisan abandonment of due process in the public sphere. If Democrats are unwilling to abandon Biden, conservatives should insist that Democrats admit they were wrong about Kavanaugh — and promise to respect due process rights for all, not just their political allies, going forward. Anything less is partisan hypocrisy at its worst.
