No, Tara Reade’s accusations are not enough, unless you think that lies, changing stories and a woman who loves Russia and expects to marry Putin and be “Mother Russia” after their “daughter” is born. See. she has powers and sees visions…
As for being an unreliable claimant against Biden, and why Warren didn’t believe her claims, maybe a few actual sources will convince you?:
Reade’s other statements, that would give any thinking person pause about her other claims and these are her own statements:
“Currently, President Putin has a higher approval rating in America then the American President, particularly with women. President Putin has an alluring combination of strength with gentleness. His sensuous image projects his love for life, the embodiment of grace while facing adversity. It is evident that he loves his country, his people and his job. Although his job may seem like in the words of writer, Elizabeth Gilbert on genius, “ trying to swallow the sun.” This is a whole lot to deal with for one mere mortal… President Putin’s obvious reverence for women, children and animals, and his ability with sports is intoxicating to American women.”

- And her changing stories:
“said that Biden had sexually assaulted her in 1993”
“Reade’s story of what happened during her tenure working for Biden has changed over time. In April of 2019, Reade spoke to a local Nevada County paper, claiming Biden “would touch me on the shoulder or hold his hand on my shoulder running his index finger up my neck during a meeting.””
“Reade’s April 2019 account of why she left Biden’s office also conflicts with earlier things she has written. In a December 2018 Medium post she’s since deleted (it’s up again, Reade wrote that she quit working for Biden to pursue a vocation in the arts and because she loves “Russia with all my heart” and rejected “the reckless imperialism of America” and what she saw as an anti-Russian view on Capitol Hill. “
“Before 2019, Reade lived under another name — she changed it for many years to escape an abusive husband, and provided the paperwork demonstrating this to Salon — and her public statements about Biden were entirely positive.”
“The timeline shows that Reade’s involvement in the online world of Bernie fandom coincided with her escalation of accusations against Biden. To be clear, this does not mean she’s lying. But taken along with the other discrepancies in Reade’s accounts — which are also, on their own, not reasons to discredit her — it’s enough to make publications take a slow and careful approach to amplifying this story.”
“Grim and Halper have both publicly said that they spoke to Reade’s brother and friend, who both confirmed that Reade had told them about the alleged assault when it happened. Attempts to reach the brother and the friend — key steps in reporting a story like this independently — have proven fruitless for Salon. Reade did not respond to Salon’s request for her friend’s identity, and Reade’s brother has not responded to Salon’s requests to talk. “
“Salon’s discussions with Reade indicated that she was less interested in legal action and more in public relations representation — for “protection” and to handle “being inundated” by phone calls from reporters. “
“ For a variety of reasons it has not been taken seriously on a national level, but those reasons do not include a mainstream media conspiracy to protect Joe Biden. Rather than becoming the subject of serious investigation, this has instead become an occasion for die-hard supporters on both the Sanders and Biden sides to score points on one another online.”
Anything else you’re not clear on?
