3. Anyone remember Tara Reade, the former staff assistant in Biden's Senate office, who accused him of sexual assault?

Reade made all sorts of allegations against Joe, saying that Biden pushed her against a wall and penetrated her without her consent, suspiciously like what Trump had done to E. jean Carroll. The media, and some on this site, ran with the story for months, claiming Biden was a "sexual predator" and "couldn't trusted around children" and other bullshit. Biden unequivocally denied the allegations, stating they never happened. The woman was eventually proven to be a plant, probably mentally unhinged, then she ended up fleeing to Russia when her story fell apart. These "stories" about Platner are also suspect.
