The two tales from Tara Reade

4 min readApr 25, 2020

Tara Reade has made 2 accusations on likely Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden. One was made in 2019 and a new one was made in 2020. Both are different stories. Both contradict each other and both are in her own words. Only one of these stories can be true or neither can be true as a result.

The sequence of events below have sources here : https://link.medium.com/KTxqFkiWY5

Pre-April 2019

She says a 1993 call into Larry King is by her mother. In this video the woman tells Larry King this aide had problems but didn’t report not out of fear but out of respect for the senator.
She writes article saying her love for Putin and Russia and says Putin and Russia is the way America should be
She says she will support any candidate who backs off Russia and names 2 candidates she will support if they do: Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders
Before her name change on her previous twitter account she retweets and tweets positive words about Biden on her own volition.
She said she left her job working with Joe Biden because of American Imperialism and Xenophobia and lack of respect the US government gives Russia and Putin.

April 2019

She accuses Joe Biden of making her uncomfortable not sexual assault
She calls Joe Biden’s actions as non sexual
She says she still respects Joe Biden
She joined a group of 7 other women who say Joe Biden made them uncomfortable by his handsy approach to both men and women but didn’t sexually assault them
She says she left voluntarily on her own volition.
She supported Biden as a VP
She hoped Biden had changed his handsy ways so she could support him as a presidential candidate.
She says someone told her Biden liked her legs which is why she was told to serve.
Friend she told was asked by Tara Reade if Joe Biden’s acts were inappropriate or not.
She says she filed a complaint with the US Senate Personel office. No media outlet has been able to find such a complaint.

Between April 2019-August 2019

Her story did not get national attention
She told press she didn’t delete medium blog post which showered love for Russia and Putin, it was in fact deleted
She says she lost her contracts or jobs due to coming out in April 2019
She says she had financial issues after coming out in April 2019
She tweets to many journalists to give her story more attention, no one responds until Feb-March 2020
She tweeted over 200 times the same story every day multiple times a day even after her story was published in a newspaper clearly indicating she didn’t think her initial story got enough attention. **

August 2019 – March 2020

She supported Marianne Williamson initially
She switched her support to Bernie Sanders on the day Williamson concedes
She says Biden is corrupt in the Ukraine Burisma scandal
She says Biden and Trump are the same in terms of corruption
She says Bernie’s election chances are being stolen by the DNC and Billionaires supporting Biden
She says Biden is being drugged up in order to compete in debates hinting he suffers from dementia
She tweeted another 100 or so times the exact same words and links multiples times a day for months even after her April 2019 story because presumably she didn’t think her story got enough attention.**

March 2020

She changes her story and says Biden raped her
She changes the scope and says Biden sexually assaulted her
She says she hates Joe Biden and that he is a predator who should resign from presidential campaign
None of the 7 other women say Joe Biden sexually assaulted them.
She says she was directly threatened by Biden himself and was fired by him
She calls on Bernie to not quit race as she had a story to tell which will take down Biden
She suggests her story which will come soon is all about timing to take down Biden
None of the dozen women who worked with Biden in 1980s and 1990s said they heard a story or a complaint regarding harassment or assault from Biden.
Biden’s manager up to middle of 1990s says she did not receive any complaint about Biden despite Tara Reade saying she told her about Biden.
**This story got national attention.

You can see the shift to a new story by Tara Reade. Even the 1993 call to Larry King if it is her mother seems to support her April 2019 narrative not her 2020 new narrative. We don’t know why she shifted her story completely from respect to hate, from non sexual to rape from leaving voluntarily to being threatened and fired . The simplest explanation seems to suggest there is a chance the 2019 story like the 7 other women is true and due to her story not getting attention she escalated it into a new story in March 2020. Her new story in March 2020 was carried in the beginning by outspoken Bernie Sanders supporting ‘journalists’ as well as some alt-right outlets .
