Over and over we have seen Biden supporters.....defend, deny, distract, deflect.

This woman just came forward after changing her initial story. She didn’t claim this before people voted.

Christine ford changed her story too.

What do you want people to do now? We have two candidates, one with 20 accusations of sexual assault and a tape saying how he can grab them by the p**sy and they won’t say anything. He also has a tape talking about paying off a porn star for her silence after denying it. And we have the other with one accusation from 27 years ago that just came up.
if dems are morally superior and consistent like you claimed when it suited you then you should do what you expected republicans to do, refuse to vote for him. But we all know that won't happen because it was all BS.
You’re not addressing the main point. All of Trump’s accusers came forward before the election. The tape came out before the election.

This Biden story just came out. There is no way decent people would vote for a man who had a lot of women accusing him of sexual assault. She should have come forward before the primaries, as the many victims of Trump came forward before the election. That’s too bad, her timing isn’t great.

Because....a lot of people aren’t genuine about these causes, just use it for partisan fighting, shaming and finger pointing. Just like racism. Really disgusting and ignorant IMHO. Nothing good comes out of that.

As far as Biden, I think women should be heard but not automatically believed. You can’t paint stuff like this with a broad brush.

If the woman has changed her story, that is knock against her credibility and I’m not super quick to believe her.

If the Reps are the party of family values, why did they vote for a twice divorced, cheating, conman with MULTIPLE allegations of sexual assault and who also cheated on his THIRD wife weeks after she gave birth?

If Reps are the party of family values and see the Dems as the party of abortionists and socialists , why do you care who they support?

If the Reps want for Dems to adopt the values of the Reps, then there you go: hypocrisy, defend, distract, deflect.

If anything, Reps should be flattered that Dems are following Reps lead.

Im not a Democrat, but it seems the die has been cast in situations like this.

Women accusing politicians of rape or assault are not a factor when it comes to who people vote for.

In any political party this has been shown.

It is the old dilemma.

"When our guy is in question, you tried to hold us to our professed standards, and we refused because we wanted to win.

Now it is your guy in question, we demand that you stick to your professed standards. If you don't, you are hypocritical. We'll say that it is irrelevant that we were hypocritical first, because we don't actually care about that stuff. What we want is for you to lose, and we'll throw any accusation at you that we think has a fair chance to split your party, and we'll succeed if enough of you don't put party loyalty above morality."

You all insisted allegations didn’t matter. Kavanaugh is on the court, trump in the oval. Democrats didn’t like the rules you people wanted to play by, but you prevailed so those are the rules now.

Do you no longer like the standards you set? why not?

Nope, that's not how this works. people who wanted Brett K's life destroyed and for him to lose the chance to be a scotus justice because of an ALLEGATION, with zero evidence should always maintain the same standards. is it believe all women or believe women when it hurts a conservative?

My standards have always been the same, innocent until proven guilty. this woman is no more or less credible than Christine ford. So the democrats who had a problem then but not now are hypocrites.

Do you Trump haters have no objective standards outside of Trump? Even Biden said dr. ford should be believed, so why shouldn't his accuser?

man, thats a lot of mental gymnastics to justify that you're ok with ignoring sexual assault allegations when its creepy joe.

I have the same standards for everyone. I think this lady's accusation is nearly as weak as the ones targeting Trump and Brett Kavanaugh. HOWEVER, that is always MY standard, innocent until proven guilty. can you say the same about yourself? can any democrat here say the same?

NO, all of you held trump and Kavanaugh to different standards. take responsibility for your OWN MORAL CONVICTIONS.

ha ha, how convenient for you to hold yourself to a different set of standards for your own side. mine have always been the same, even now. Biden's accuser's story is just as weak as ford's. However I didn't parrot #metoo, #believewomen, I didn't praise FORD for being "stunning and brave" I didnt support destryong the lives and careers of People based on unsupported accusations like you all did. So as much as you want to defelct, you're the hypocrites.

The funniest part is every conservative knew the day would come when a democrat candidate would face sexual assault accusations after the precedent YOUR SIDE set and you'd have to make this choice, live by your own standards or be cowards and hypocrites. you guys ironically encouraged using sexual assault allegations as a political weapon and now, its come back to bite you.

If it is ok for Joe now then you must admit that brett K, and Trump's accusers didn't meet your standards for guilt and you were wrong for attacking them other wise you are a hypocrite.

You don’t get tired of this “I know you are but what am I” bullshit?

.......Especially defending Trump who constantly fucks up and is more hypocritical than a whoring pastor.

Trump paraded Bill Clinton’s accusers at a Presidential debate, despite having a slew of accusers himself that he insulted and called them liars.

So what are you upset about?
