Dem Rep. Titus: Biden Sexual Assault Allegation ‘Put to Rest’ After TV Appearance

Wednesday on “MSNBC Live,” Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) sounded off on former Vice President Joe Biden, who she supports in the 2020 presidential election, being accused of sexual assault by his former staff member Tara Reade.
Titus, who said she is a “strong supporter of the MeToo movement,” pointed out the accusations against Biden has been “put to rest” because “he went on TV” this week and denied it “unequivocally” while speaking with MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski.
“Well, I’m a strong supporter of the MeToo movement, have been from the beginning and I believe women should be believed and I believe they should be heard,” advised Titus. “And their stories should be vetted. They shouldn’t be afraid to come forward, but Joe Biden went on TV, he answered the question unequivocally. He didn’t say, ‘In my memory,’ or. ‘I don’t recall.’ He said, ‘I didn’t do it.’ It’s been vetted. He called on the secretary of the Senate to release any information. I think it’s put to rest.”
Titus’ remarks echo what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told CNN this week.
“I’m a big, strong supporter of the MeToo movement,” Pelosi stated. “I think it has … made a great contribution to our country. And I do support Joe Biden. I’m satisfied with how he has responded.
Dems are prosecuted, GOPers are persecuted... or at least they cry that they are. SEE Brett Kavanaugh.
Unlike the right wingers that defend creeps, I would personally lock up or end any dem I knew for a fact was a rapist that abused his office to perpetrate that crime.
I don't see enough proof to hurt Brett but if he was guilty then he should be charged. Same with Trump or Biden. Let me know when Biden gets prosecuted.
All I know is this allegation alone is hurting Biden and we haven't even got to the Hunter Biden China stuff yet. The DNC and centrists corporatists fools have all but guaranteed Trump an easy path; but Trump with COVID, the economy and the stupid stuff he says and does I'm sure he is going to lose... .
Who's whining? I'm just telling you the facts bro. Primary is over, you got your guy. I just hope somebody figures out how the hell he beats Trump and if they can get him to stop assaulting women/little girls long enough to get him elected...
You haven't followed very closely have you? Biden wasn't "my guy". Hell, he wasn't even my second choice. I'm just not some idiot helping to undermine the only chance there is to defeat Trump.
At this point you're a disgrace.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
Disgrace to what? LMAO. Disgrace to dems? Disgrace to centrists? Disgrace to you because you think everyone should fall in line and accept Joe?
You should pick your words a little wiser before I unload on you. You can't handle anyone with a differing opinion on your own damn side. And I'm a disgrace... smh.
Protecting a sexual predator would be a disgrace. Propping up failed neoliberalism over truth/justice would be a disgrace. Constantly attacking people on your own side would be a disgrace... but in your world we are not on the same side because I refuse to like the candidate forced upon me.
You're a joke.
I'll be voting for whoever the dem candidate is in November, but there is no law saying I must like them or support them beyond trying too get rid of Trump.
You couldn't unload on a still target without missing every shot.
You sit here and say attacking people on your own side is a disgrace while you attack Biden. Practice what you preach.
Biden's not on my side! lmao
His beliefs align more closely to Trump's than mine. He won't do a damn to further the progressive agenda because he's a corporate sellout! This is who you blindly support. And the ONLY reason for me to vote for him is my hate of Trump... You are actively working to undermine that commitment from me at every turn, so kick rocks.
Then why do you seem to care so much? You sure are making a lot of insinuating slurs against me today, you out of geritol? Let me mansplain this for you:
I don't like centrist candidates on the left. I don't like centrist politics on the left. I have little choice but to vote the dem ticket if I want Trump gone. So here over this barrel is where I am at. I don't need to like Biden because there will be a dem ticket with or without him.
If he is guilty of what Reade accused him of he should not be elected, just like Trump should not have been. BUT centrist and #MeToo have changed their spots for Biden, I'm not calling him guilty but I do want it investigated and heavily scrutinized before November.
I also think he is possibly unfit due to mental capacity. He seems to appear early in the day on interviews and makes gaffs, looks bad, or hides away later in the day... classic signs of sundowners dementia. That is not an attack but honest concern to who the hell we are electing.
The dems can and most likely will replace him IMHO. The donors are already growing uneasy with him. There would be no talk of replacing him with Cuomo if this were not the case. He is currently being given the opportunity to rise but so far is bombing.

I am as well.
Do I like President Trump? No, not really. He is kind of a sleeze.
Has done a good job? You bet. He was a shoo in until China released this virus. They don't like him. He has them in thumbscrews.
He is still going to win. There is this thing called the silent majority. The people talking the loudest usually aren't in the majority. They are just talking the loudest because they are insecure people who want to make sure people hear them..
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
This clip and many others were out in early March before the establishment centrists made their frantic push to coalesce around Biden as their candidate. They knew damn good and well that he was not firing on all cylinders and are attempting to limit his exposure to keep from confirming this.
I don't agree with Biden on everything, I'm not sure if he is guilty of allegations against him or not, I've seen signs of his decline with my own eyes, BUT I do respect his service to our country and think his corpse would be a better POTUS than Trump, even if only slightly.
If a pro football player said half the stuff that Biden has, he'd be taken removed from team activities and evaluated for head injury.
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.
IF he picks a woman to be his vice president running candidate just because she's a woman to pander doesn't that bother anyone else? Shouldn't he pick the person most capable for the job regardless of their gender?
I agree with this to the degree that he should have not announced that early on before the vetting process. Obviously I think Bernie makes the most sense for the November election, but I have no issue with him picking a woman. There are several women I hope he does not pick, but there are also several more than qualified. Personally I'd like to see him pick Katie Porter, but that's a very long shot.
I would not be a fan of Abrams, Warren, Turner, Klobuchar, or any republican which he also suggested he may do. Clinton would be a repulsive selection IMHO, and M. Obama, who I like, would be truly pandering. But there are many many qualified women to pick from that I would easily support.
