While many videos show Biden pressing himself against the bodies of young women and girls and sniffing their hair, the 2020 allegations of his former Senate aide, Tara Reade, go much further. In 1993, she told the New York Times, Biden pinned her to a wall in a Senate building and forced his fingers inside her va**na. “He looked at me kind of almost puzzled or shocked,” she told the newspaper. “He said, ‘Come on, man, I heard you liked me.’ … He pointed his finger at me and he just goes: ‘You’re nothing to me. Nothing,’” she said. “Then, he took my shoulders and said, ‘You’re OK, you’re fine.’”
The Times confirmed Reade’s assertion that she had told two people at the time about the assault. Her story was further bolstered when video surfaced of a 1993 call to Larry King Live, later identified as Reade’s mother, who said, “My daughter has just left there after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him.”
The Times article also reported that “Last year [2019], Ms. Reade and seven other women came forward to accuse Mr. Biden of kissing, hugging or touching them in ways that made them feel uncomfortable.”
