There seems to have been multiple employees making a complaint there. It doesn't appear to be damning at all.

She sure does seem to be extraordinarily unlucky that she keeps working for employers who harass and discriminate against her, huh. We are now up to at least 3, counting the horse rescue she stole from.

My theory on what happened is she tried to seduce Joe, he didn't bite but wasn't nice about it, and she got mad and spun a tale. Why would she show up to work in the Senate wearing crotchless lingerie when she was already asked to tone down her inappropriate attire? She was hunting big game, IMO.

She wasn't the only one bringing that allegation. This is just more Smear material.

Can you explain how it is a smear to note that she apparently has a history of leveling similar accusations against other employers, ones that were apparently not found credible as the case was dismissed?

The only similarity here is a complaint. A complaint shared with others working there. How is this not a Smear?

Previous meritless accusations of harassment and retaliation are directly relevant to the topic at hand.

I can’t believe I have to explain this.

4 Employees brought the Complaint. 9 Employees had resigned since the alleged problematic Manager was hired. It makes no sense to even try to make this about Reade. This is not just a Smear, it is an idiotic attempt at a Smear.

It is frankly bizarre that you are trying to claim that previous dismissed allegations of a similar type against other employers is not only irrelevant, but is some sort of unreasonable attack on her character.

Like, holy shit. You're losing it, man.

I'm losing it? You're proving my point. A whole lot of people were pissed off there. Making this about Reade makes no fucking sense.

She first came forward in April...of 2019.
Her challenge is legitimate. She is not the one facing accusations. When asked if she would go under oath, she did not hesitate.

Under the standard Joe Biden supported during the Kavanaugh hearings, Reade is entitled to an independent investigation. There is enough corroborating evidence.

Under the standard Joe Biden is advocating for college campuses, as a student he would most likely be expelled in the face of these accusations.

So dishonest. She claimed workplace harassment in April of 2019, and not by Biden personally. She claimed to have quit over it, and that she doubted Biden even knew why. A year later, she stealth edited that to intimations of pussy grabbing. It's all in black & white & has been pointed out repeatedly.

Her challenge is bullshit. You conveniently left out the polygraph bit. She's free to do that at any time, so why doesn't she? As to testifying under oath, What venue would you suggest? It's well outside the statute of limitations for prosecution & no rational prosecutor would press charges if they could. Way too sketchy. File suit? Have at it. Maybe McConnell will call her to testify, huh? To what end? There's nothing for the Senate to consider. It's an election, not an appointment under their consideration.

Her challenge is a political move! She just proved it was political...regardless how you spin this, had Biden NOT been the Dems Presidential candidate she would NOT have come forward al all!! She is not a very bright person!'
"I wish he would (withdraw from the race)," Reade said. "But he won't. But I wish he would. That's how I feel emotionally."

As for a polygraph test, Reade questioned the standard it would set for sexual assault survivors if they were all asked to take polygraphs.

"I'm not a criminal. Joe Biden should take the polygraph," she said. "I will take one if Joe Biden takes one. " -- Now she is playing games -- knowing full well he will not take one nor should he IMO!

Reade had previously said that her motivation for coming forward was not political. In her interview with Kelly, she addressed concerns about her credibility and amended that statement: "I think everything's political."

"But this is deeper than that," Reade went on. "This is about watching the person that assaulted me be elevated to the highest office of the land."

It’s kind of amazing how this is never addressed. ‘I left and he didn’t even know why’ turned into ‘he fired and blackballed me’.

This is not a case of her not telling the whole story, one of those two things is a falsehood, told deliberately.

Both are job interviews, the hiring managers are simply different. The Democrats managed to invent a tribunal standard to politically weaponize #metoo. Now, Democrats down ballot can hypocritically rationalize why they are not holding Biden to the standard even he advocated.

It’s not surprising that Democrats are attacking the character of the accuser. Standard play.

I hope for your sake a formal complaint doesn’t surface. The “exhaustive” vetting of Biden already overlooked one document.
