Tara Reade has been trying to tell her story since it happened in 1993, when she was working as a staff assistant for Joe Biden. She told part of her story—about how Biden would put his hands on her shoulders and run his fingers up and down her neck—in the spring of 2019 after Lucy Flores accused Biden of kissing the top of her head and smelling her hair inappropriately.
But Reade didn't tell her full story. As Ryan Grim revealed at The Intercept, Reade asked for help from Time's Up, but the organization said it could not support her because a case taking on Biden would jeopardize their non-profit status. Tara is finally telling the story she's been trying to tell for decades. While there were no witnesses to Biden's alleged sexual assault of Tara Reade, her brother and close friend, both of whom I've spoken to, recall Reade telling them about it at the time.
