Joe Biden: Women’s Claims Of Sexual Assault Should Be Presumed To Be True
Submitted by Mastodon on Mon, 2018-09-24 18:46
Article here. Excerpt:
'Former Vice President Joe Biden said the claims of assault leveled against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh bring “back all of the complicated issues that were there” in 1991 when Anita Hill accused then-federal judge Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment, reported The Washington Post.
Biden, then-chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, presided over Thomas’ confirmation hearings for the Supreme Court that year and faced widespread criticism for allowing ― and some said abetting ― an all-white and all-male committee to badger Hill with probing and skeptical questions.
Speaking to reporters Monday at an event at the residence of the U.S. ambassador to Ireland, Biden again expressed regret for how Hill was treated and insisted he’d believed her allegations against Thomas from the very start.
“I thought she was telling the truth at the beginning,” Biden said, according to the Post. “I really did.”
Biden added that any woman’s public allegation of sexual assault should generally be presumed to be true.'

So says Mr. Wandering Hands
Remember the photos of him groping men's wives as he "greeted" them? Mr Hands strikes again!
I have a working theory. It's this: men who do not harass women by fondling them once they have them alone, etc., state the obvious: any given accusation needs to be scrutinized for veracity b/c indeed, the typical man (and every man thinks he is the typical man) does not behave that way. Conversely men who know they are all hands once alone with a fair delicate rose announce that indeed the typical man will do so b/c he also assumes he is typical. In short, men speak from their own experience. Handsy men know they are handsy so they project that onto all other men and declare it to be true. Thus the offenders get the kudos from the victims for proclaiming ALL men predatory. Bizarre indeed.
Meanwhile, men who are not handsy are condemned by women for being bad men for saying that indeed, any given man is not a handsy Biden creepazoid type.
And so it goes.
