Appearing Wednesday on ABC’s The View, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), a potential vice presidential candidate, said she accepts former Vice President Joe Biden’s denial of alleged sexual assault on former Senate staffer Tara Reade, despite believing that a “vast majority” of sexual misconduct allegations are true.
A transcript is as follows:
SARA HAINES: You are a vocal supporter of sexual assault survivors as you are one yourself. Former Senate Biden staffer Tara Reade has come forward claiming Joe Biden sexually harassed and assaulted her — a claim Biden vehemently denies. What do you make of these allegations and how should his campaign handle them moving forward?
GOV. GRETCHEN WHITMER: I take this very seriously. As a survivor myself, I want you to know that women are able to come forward and tell their stories and we listen to them. For a long time, women were dismissed. Now we are being listened to and it’s really important. As a lawyer, I recognize it’s important that we vet and understand and ask questions and determine the credibility of all parties in any allegation. In looking at this, I think that the inconsistencies that I’ve seen give me the judgment that I believe Joe, and I think that it’s important to note that the vast majority of women who come forward, statistics show that they are telling the story that is true. In this instance, I do believe Joe Biden, and everyone needs to make that judgment, weigh the facts, and make the determination for themselves.

Strange that she doesn’t insist on seeing the suppressed documents.
Was she there? Did she know the woman?
Whitmer would believe biden no matter what he said about what subject.
I saw it....I know he did it...
Northwest Woodsman: She is after the VP slot, knowing that Biden will soon be declared mentally incompetent and if, god forbid, Biden were elected, she would end up as president by default. She is pandering for the appointment.
Biden would also pass a lie detector test. If you answer no to a question, and you cant remember then i guess your'e not lying, He doesn't remember yesterday let alone years ago. He is still a liar in my book, Its his lie he can tell it anyway he wants to. Crooked slime ball is as guilty as the day is long.
Judge Sullivan won't appreciate her lying that way!
Give him the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test. Bet he wouldn't pass that one.
When Joe was asked about this he answered; "I did not have socks with that woman" No joe, sex, "I did not have any socks to share with her", Joe SEX, did you have SEX? "Hug? Do I have sex? I used to, why do you have a 12 year old here"? Joe you need to go home to bed. "Now you're talking! I like to take her to bed"! who to bed Joe? "the 12 year old of course"!
Sorry that I don’t believe you saw it. My take on it is that he wanted to, but just wasn’t “up” to it. All he had was memories and has now forgotten them. You wonder how these nut jobs get in office and even homestead their entire lives there after proving year after year they are not doing the job. Have you ever heard anyone out of DE that likes the failure?
