On Friday, leftist celebrity, icon, and current Brandeis law professor Anita Hill upset Democrat pros and national leaders by refusing to give Joe Biden a pass on Tara Reade. She spoke to The New York Time: “Joe Biden has denied Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations, but that should not be the end of the inquiry. Without these essential elements, uncertainty about who to believe and whether it matters will continue.”
She concluded, “How we proceed comes down to whether we take allegations of sexual violations seriously enough to insist that public institutions have fair procedures in place that protect individuals’ rights to come forward, and the rights of those who are accused to defend themselves.”
The Times itself has now called for a full investigation into the Reade charges. These developments are huge. If these two leftist and Democrat stalwarts are putting distance between themselves and the Biden effort, has the word gone out? Has the Clinton Machine or the Socialist rump decided that he is too damaged to get the nomination? Have they settled on a slow drip drip of torture to build up the case against him and have they told their press toadies to begin the effort?
If so, watch the mainstream media over the next several weeks. If they start to sound almost coherent on the Reade charges you know someone has gotten to them. Someone from the high reaches of Democrat Olympus has called down lightning bolts on poor sad Joe Biden. The strikes will hit him in full right before the convention.
But even the appearance of such a campaign will add to Biden’s woes. His relative silence during the virus crisis has given Democrat pros and the hard left time and reason to plot against him. The pros not working for him want Hillary. The hard left wants Bernie or some facsimile of such. His de facto nominee status notwithstanding, Biden stands in their way. Perhaps, not for long.
