Lisa Bloom: Yes, Biden Is A Rapist But I Endorse Him

We have been discussing the hypocritical positions of Democratic leaders ranging from Speaker Nancy Pelosi to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in their response to the allegations of sexual assault by former Vice President Joe Biden. Women's rights attorney Lisa Bloom caused a stir this week however with a position that is at least honest, if chilling. Bloom stated that she believes that Biden did rape a female staffer but she is still going to endorse him for President of the United States. She tweeted "I believe you, Tara Reade . . . sorry."
Bloom has previously had embarrassing positions with regard to Harvey Weinstein and Kathy Griffin.
Once again, I continue to be baffled as to why this is so difficult. Biden insists that there is no prior allegation of sexual harassment or assault by anyone. However, he refuses to allow a search for any such allegations in his papers under lock and key at the University of Delaware. I still believe that Biden has the stronger case in this controversy, so I do not get why he resists total transparency on this or any such allegation.
I can see politicians saying that they believe Biden but also demand total transparency on any and all allegations of sexual harassment or assault. What is untenable is saying that you believe him but do not want to review the total record held in these different archives.
Bloom however is virtually unique in applying the same Kavanaugh standard of just accepting any allegation raised by victims of sexual assault. However, she then said she would still work to elect someone she believes is a rapist for president even thought it is not too late for the Democratic Party to select someone else.
Bloom tweeted
"I believe you, Tara Reade. You have people who remember you told them about this decades ago. We know he is 'handsy.' You're not asking for $. You've obviously struggled mightily with this. I still have to fight Trump, so I will still support Joe. But I believe you. And I'm sorry."
So just to unpack this. Bloom believes Reade who says that Biden raped her when she was a staff member and then lied repeatedly to the public. However, she still believes he should be the Democratic nominee-not sure if the apology really makes much of a difference.
Bloom noted that Trump also has been accused of assault. However, that does not excuse endorsing someone you believe is a rapist instead of demanding that the party pick a non-rapist as its nominee.

The premise behind this article is either ill founded or dishonest. Trump cannot be off topic on this seed.
First of all, the article mentions Trump. That makes it on topic on Newstalkers. Secondly, the premise of this seed, that Trump is off topic, COMPLETELY ignores Lisa Bloom's reason for saying she had to hold her nose and vote for Biden. That reason is the fact that Biden's opponent is Trump. Lisa Bloom said this very explicitly when she made the controversial tweet. She said she believes Reade , but has to vote for Biden because we need to rid the country of Trump.
If you continue to delete comments that mention Trump I will ask Perrie to remove this article.
Damn good thing I'm not in politics. There are at least a dozen women who could come after me for being a normal teen to twenties homone-laden human being.
Buzz, I'm sure you love women as much as I, the difference is we appreciate when they give - we never take!
Yea,, WHO would ever do that...
That seems to be the new talking point. Who cares if he’s a rapist? They will still choose him to represent the Democratic Party in the next election.
The funny part of it is that Biden could have survived this by simply standing behind his Constitutional rights of due process. Lefties like Bloom are taking no chances. They say we stand with Biden no matter the outcome!
Look to your own candidate Sean.
It seems that some can't deal with the premise of the seed.
Ms Bloom is being honest. She openly defends Joe Biden as a means to an end. An end result which is more important to her than "believing women!"
