This type of response was predictable given Biden’s active outreach to KHive, but....I mean...this is still so gross? I anticipated people who previously championed MeToo downplaying the allegations & claiming that she’s lying, but claiming she’s a fake identity or mentally ill?pic.twitter.com/CHf9qCPNYe
people with mental illness can still be victims of sexual assault! as can people who have politics you disagree with about Russia! and that doesn’t mean they’re lying! this has the energy of MAGA supporters who insisted Trump’s accusers are lying because they didn’t vote for him.
staffers victimized by politicians probably have complex feelings about their former bosses. maybe they continue to support them to try to put it behind them. maybe they vote for other candidates who didn’t victimize them. political support isn’t a barometer for credibility.
Ironically, after Biden supporters attacked her credibility yesterday on the basis that she supported Warren & then Sanders (& thus has a ‘reason’) to lie, Biden supporters are now pointing to positive tweets she wrote about Biden a few years ago as ‘evidence’ that she’s lying
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you don’t still support them, you’re a former staffer with a grudge who supports his political rivals. If you said or wrote anything positive about him in the years since, he clearly couldn’t have assaulted you or you would have spoken up
anyway, for those who wanted to know exactly why KHive’s réputation for toxic online behaviour rivalled that of BernieBros...pic.twitter.com/jDHB8dy52U
Well, a seemingly coordinated smear campaign against a woman making sexual assault allegations vs. Biden on the basis of QAnon style facial comparisons is a pretty decent example, imo.
Honestly, I struggle to see the difference between the tone of this stuff and what MAGA people wrote about Blasey Ford when she came forward about Kavanaugh. I hope this woman doesn’t start getting threats, but...pic.twitter.com/HwORFnrHBJ
What happened to admiring and respecting the bravery it takes for a relatively powerless woman to come forward with allegations vs. a candidate for one of the highest offices in the country, such that it’s unlikely for her to fabricate her claims?
“Biden couldn’t have sexually assaulted a staffer in the early 90s because if he had it would have been discovered when the Obama campaign vetted him for VP in 2008”. What? Excuse me? Kavanaugh got confirmed as a judge & Ford didn’t come forward until he was up for SCOTUS.pic.twitter.com/t9sm2LwOn4
Also, it’s suspicious for a potential victim to come forward when their alleged rapist appears fairly likely to become President? Plenty of Trump’s victims only came forward once he was the GOP nominee! Coming forward means subjecting yourself to attacks, threats, etc.
If it looked like he wasquietly retiring and not running for President or that he was unlikely to get nominated, why wouldn’t she stay quiet and avoid the public hate she’ll inevitably get now?
All of these arguments that certain segments of Democrats are using to attack Biden’s alleged victim are carbon copies of the things the GOP said about Trump’s victims and about Ford.
Oh my *G-d*. KHive members are analyzing articles by Biden’s former staffer who alleged that he sexually assaulted her to “prove” that her first language is not American English which...shows that something is off with her story? I guess because they claim she’s a Russian agentpic.twitter.com/4I7JAEjlYk
like, I’m sorry, but what is more likely - that a man in a position of power who has a pattern of lacking appropriate physical boundaries with women sexually assaulted a staffer, or that...I don’t even know...Russia planted a foreign agent two decades ago to frame him?
Or that she’s secretly a mentally ill woman of a different age with a different name who went on Doctor Phil once? this motivated reasoning & insistence on smearing a woman with the most absurd possible attacks in defence of *Joe Biden* is incredible.
like, yes, journalists who want to report this out should properly do due diligence and try to get as much corroboration as possible but there’s nothing stopping them from reporting the existence of the allegations & in the meantime, these attacks are *ridiculous* & grotesque
Even if you want more information before deciding what you believe about the allegations, the eagerness to grasp at any possible straw, no matter how ludicrous, is disturbing
