Biden Says Voters Who Believe Tara Reade 'Probably Shouldn't Vote For Me'Former Vice President Joe Biden again denied the sexual assault allegation made against him by former Senate staffer Tara Reade in an interview on MSNBC Thursday night, but added that voters who stand by Reade should not support him.
"If they believe Tara Reade, they probably shouldn't vote for me," Biden said when asked what message he would give to female voters who accept Reade's allegation as true, but were planning on supporting him.
"I wouldn't vote for me if I believed Tara Reade," Biden added.
Reade alleges that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993 while she was working in his Senate office. She came forward publicly with the allegation in March. The former Senate staffer said last year that Biden had made her physically uncomfortable while she was working for him, but she did not make an assault accusation at that time.
In the Thursday interview, Biden added that he does not remember Reade and further disputed her allegation, citing that her claims have shifted over the past year.
