#BidenIsOverParty: Tara Reade’s Neighbor Corroborates Sex Assault Allegation Against Joe Biden

Fact checked
Tara Reade's former neighbor corroborate Biden sexual assault allegations

A woman has come forward and corroborated claims that Joe Biden violently sexually assaulted former staffer Tara Reade in 1993.

Lynda LaCasse, a former neighbor to Reade, says she and Reade discussed the horrific sexual assault two years after it allegedly occurred, declaring: “This happened, and I know it did because I remember talking about it.”

In an interview with the AP, Reade detailed a 1993 encounter she says occurred when she was asked by a manager to bring Senator Biden his gym bag, as he was on his way down to the Senate gymnasium. Reade claims Biden shoved her up against a wall in the basement, groped her, and then forcefully penetrated her with his fingers.

“He was whispering to me and trying to kiss me at the same time, and he was saying, ‘Do you want to go somewhere else?’” she said. “I remember wanting to say stop, but I don’t know if I said it out loud or if I just thought it. I was kind of frozen up.”

Reade said that when she tried to pull away from Biden, he looked “shocked and surprised” and replied, “Come on, man, I heard you liked me.”

In an interview with Business Insider, LaCasse said she distinctly remembers Reade being an emotional mess after the assault by Biden.

“I remember her saying, here was this person that she was working for and she idolized him,” LaCasse told the outlet. “And he kind of put her up against a wall. And he put his hand up her skirt and he put his fingers inside her. She felt like she was assaulted, and she really didn’t feel there was anything she could do.”

“She was crying,” LaCasse added. “She was upset. And the more she talked about it, the more she started crying. I remember saying that she needed to file a police report.”

“I don’t remember all the details,” she continued. “I remember the skirt. I remember the fingers. I remember she was devastated.”

LaCasse, a Biden supporter, is the first person to corroborate Reade’s sexual assault allegation against Biden.

“I personally am a Democrat, a very strong Democrat,” LaCasse confirmed. “And I’m for Biden, regardless. But still I have to come out and say this.”

Breitbart.com reports: In addition to LaCasse, Lorraine Sanchez, a former legislative staffer to California State Senator Jack O’Connell, told Business Insider that Reade lamented about being “sexually harassed by her former boss while she was in DC.”

“What I do remember,” Sanchez explained “is reassuring her that nothing like that would ever happen to her here in our office, that she was in a safe place, free from any sexual harassment.”

Sanchez recounts that Reade was talking about Biden.

Sanchez lauded Reade’s resolve to speak out about her allegation, telling Business Insider: “It takes great courage and strength to come forward.”

“It’s much easier to keep silent. However, I also understand the duty we have as women to share our story regardless of who the perpetrator may be,” she added.

Sanchez reportedly worked with Reade between 1994 and 1996.

The development comes after fresh evidence supporting Reade’s assault claim resurfaced Friday. A video segment, dug up by NewsBusters, appears to show Reade’s mother talking about her daughter’s “problems” with a “prominent senator” on CNN’s Larry King Live in 1993.

“I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington? My daughter has just left there, after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him,” the caller who Reade identifies as her mother is heard saying.

The call was first reported by The Intercept.

Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, issued a statement earlier this month denying the allegation.

“Vice President Biden has dedicated his public life to changing the culture and the laws around violence against women. He authored and fought for the passage and reauthorization of the landmark Violence Against Women Act. He firmly believes that women have a right to be heard — and heard respectfully. Such claims should also be diligently reviewed by an independent press. What is clear about this claim: it is untrue. This absolutely did not happen,” said Bedingfield.

Biden has yet to personally respond to the allegation.

  1. Meanwhile mainstream bilge water media has no comment. She’s not 16 or17 so they don’t even care.When it’s the only possible candidate they have to run against Trump.

  2. More sleazy business from sleazy Dems and faux-Libs. That being said these women should have come forward years ago and saved the country and the world a lot of pain hardship.. Did it all happen? I don’t know. But this quote “Come on, man,” is certainly something Biden spouts often. Whether on China or anything.. There’s even a T-Shirt!

      • Hmmm. I bet the fuxer’ has NICE shoes though! I wonder if ‘Captain Dementia’ wears 14s? Nah’, he’s a little weasel.

    • What should these women have reported? That they knew someone who was raped? Sorry, no, that isn’t a crime. Also, a rape victim has already had her choices taken away, now you want her to be outed to the cops about it? It is HER choice to report or not. She didn’t report it “out of respect for him” is something way too many women fall victim to. It needs to be reported, he didn’t respect her ability to choose so why should she respect him in any way?

  3. “…and she idolized him….”. That was her FIRST FAIL…..NONE of these political hacks need to be ‘idolized’….And, notice, her neighbor is STILL for Creepy Joe, “regardless”….. THAT is the VERY definition of an imbecile sheep AND a hypocrite…..
