FLASHBACK: DNC Chair Tom Perez Said The Party Will ‘Stand Up For Women.’ Does That Include Biden Accuser Tara Reade?

Now that evidence continues to come forward in support of Tara Reade’s allegation of sexual assault against former Vice President Joe Biden, Democrats’ former statements are now coming back to haunt them.

In 2017, as the #MeToo movement kicked into high gear, Democratic National Committee (DNC) chairman Tom Perez said that politicians credibly accused of misconduct need to step aside. He said this as then-Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) was accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct, leading to his resignation.
