Joe Biden, discussing sexual assault claims in early 2018, told PBS flatly, “Women should be believed.” On Friday, facing his own accusations, he stressed on MSNBC the importance of “taking the woman’s claims seriously when she steps forward — and then vet it, look into it.”
That shift in Biden’s tone reflects the way a former staffer’s claim that he assaulted her 27 years ago is raising new questions for the #MeToo movement. Democrats and women’s activists, eager to unseat a president they consider deeply misogynistic, are facing tough decisions over whether to stick by Biden or distance themselves — and whether to redefine what emerged as a stark rallying cry after centuries of injustice: “Believe women.”
None of the women on Biden’s short list to be his running mate has publicly voiced discomfort about the Reade allegation, including Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.), whose pointed interrogations of Kavanaugh raised their profile and helped fuel their own presidential bids.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), an outspoken supporter of the #MeToo movement and one of the strongest voices for ousting Franken, said this week, “Vice President Biden has vehemently denied these allegations, and I support Vice President Biden.”
On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) sought to balance her support for #MeToo and Biden.
“I want to remove all doubt in anyone’s mind — I have great comfort level with the situation as I see it, with all the respect in the world for any woman who comes forward, with all the highest regard for Joe Biden,” Pelosi said at her weekly news conference.
Before Biden’s MSNBC appearance, The Post contacted all four members of “The Squad,” freshmen women in Congress who have bucked Democratic leadership on other issues and were outspoken in their condemnation of Kavanaugh. None responded or provided a comment.
