Tara Reade, who accused former Vice President — and presumptive 2020 Democratic presidential nominee — Joe Biden of sexual assault last month, told Fox News in an interview this weekend that the Senate’s treatment of Anita Hill, who accused then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment, kept her from coming forward with her own allegations.
Reade says Biden sexually assaulted her while she served as an aide in his Congressional offices in the mid-1990s, several years after Thomas’ confirmation hearings. Although Reade has little evidence to substantiate her claims, she has produced a number of family members, a coworker, and neighbor, all of whom say Reade gave them a contemporaneous account of her allegations.
