Joe Biden Denies Sexual Assault Allegations Made By His Former Staffer

"They aren’t true. This never happened," the former vice president and presumptive democrat nominee for president said in a statement released Friday morning.

Tara Reade, a former staffer in then Senator Biden's office in 1993 alleged that the former vice president pinned her against the wall, reached under her clothe and penetrated her with his fingers.

Here is a relevant part of the former vice president's statement:

"Responsible news organizations should examine and evaluate the full and growing record of inconsistencies in her story, which has changed repeatedly in both small and big ways.

But this much bears emphasizing.

She has said she raised some of these issues with her supervisor and senior staffers from my office at the time. They – both men and a woman – have said, unequivocally, that she never came to them and complained or raised issues. News organizations that have talked with literally dozens of former staffers have not found one – not one – who corroborated her allegations in any way. Indeed, many of them spoke to the culture of an office that would not have tolerated harassment in any way – as indeed I would not have.

There is a clear, critical part of this story that can be verified. The former staffer has said she filed a complaint back in 1993. But she does not have a record of this alleged complaint. The papers from my Senate years that I donated to the University of Delaware do not contain personnel files. It is the practice of Senators to establish a library of personal papers that document their public record: speeches, policy proposals, positions taken, and the writing of bills.

There is only one place a complaint of this kind could be – the National Archives. The National Archives is where the records are kept at what was then called the Office of Fair Employment Practices. I am requesting that the Secretary of the Senate ask the Archives to identify any record of the complaint she alleges she filed and make available to the press any such document. If there was ever any such complaint, the record will be there."

The statement did not mention the corroborating pieces of evidence that have emerged since Tara Reade gave her first full account of the incident.

Biden also appeared on MSNBC Friday, the first time he has been asked about the allegations in the liberal media, after months of ignoring the story.

"No it is not true. Am saying unequivocally, it never happened," the democrat presumptive presidential nominee said, responding to MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski who asked "did you sexually assault Tara Reade?"

Biden also said he doesn't remember any complaints, Reade or any other woman may have made.

He was also asked about his hypocrisy  over his comments when democrat activist Blasey Ford accused now Supreme court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her. The former vice president supported the ridiculous 'BelieveAllWomen' slogan that liberals championed during Kavanaugh's senate confirmation hearing.

Biden falsely claimed he had said, "believing women means taking the woman's claim seriously when she steps forward, and then vet it."

The former vice president and democrats insisted during Kavanaugh's hearing, that women who make allegations must be believed.

The presumptive democrat nominee again claimed in the interview that any record of Reade's complaints would only be in the National Archives and not in the archives from his Senate years which he donated to the University of Delaware. He sounded a bit irritated when Brzezinski pressed him on the why he would not ask the University of Delaware to search his records for Reade's name.

The liberal MSNBC host did not mention the corroborating evidence and people who came forward recently supporting Reade's account of the incident. Instead Brzezinski falsely claimed that New York Times did not find any corroborating evidence(a claim the outlet has said is not true).
