Members of Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) now-suspended 2020 presidential campaign are seeing red over allegations that former Vice President Joe Biden sexually assaulted a former staffer in the mid-1990s, when he was a powerful Democratic Senator, and they believe this may be the opportunity they’ve been waiting for to swap out the presumptive Democratic nominee.

The media has been notoriously silent on Tara Reade’s allegations, which stem from her time as an aide in Biden’s Senate offices during the Clinton administration. Reade made the claims last week, while a guest on a progressive podcast, and has since filed a report with Washington, D.C., police, and produced friends and acquaintanecs who say Reade gave them contemporanous accounts of the attack.
