Even as certain MSNBC hosts continue to breathlessly hype a sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden that was already uniquely non-credible on its face, the accuser has now fundamentally changed her story yet again – and it appears she’s now trying to backtrack in rapid fashion.

Yesterday, Biden called on the National Archives and Senate archives to release their copy of the report that Tara Reade claims she filed in 1993. The National Archives says it has no such report. If the Senate confirms the same, it’ll strongly point to Reade having never filed a report to begin with. Now Reade is telling the AP that when she filed the report, she didn’t accuse Biden of sexual harassment or assault. Instead she simply said that she felt “uncomfortable.”

This changes things in a rather massive way. By her own admission, the key supposed piece of her contemporaneous corroboration – the report she filed – absolutely does not corroborate her story. She can still argue that the assault happened and that she only filed a vague report about feeling “uncomfortable” instead. But that won’t hold any credibility, because she originally claimed that she filed a report about sexual assault.

Biden’s accuser had already fundamentally changed her story in self-contradictory manner multiple times, and several of her supposed corroborators had already shot her down, before MSNBC host Chris Hayes opened this can of worms by falsely characterizing the allegation as “credible” and “corroborated.” How Hayes still has a job is anyone’s guess. At this point, this isn’t even a Joe Biden scandal; it’s a Tara Reade scandal. MSNBC had absolutely no business hyping this mess as if it were some legitimate story.

Op Ed: Liars such as Tara Reade do great harm to the #MeToo movement. I hate to break it to the feminist but a lot of women lie about being sexually assaulted, 10% in fact. According to extensive studies compiled in a Symposium on False Allegations of Rape and published by the Violence Against Women organization, the rate of false rape claims ranges from 2.1 percent to 10.9 percent, or roughly up to 1 in every 10 cases.

Clearly, Tara Reade is a liar. People will make excuses for her just as they make excuses for the other 10,9 percent of women who falsely accuse men of raping them. These lying women are never punished. IMO they should be punished and punished severely and placed on the sex offenders list.
