Democratic Party presidential candidate and the former Vice President of the United States, Joe Biden, has faced another punch of sexual allegation from one of his former Senate staff assistants. She is none other than Tara Reade.
Tara Reade is an alleged victim who accused Joe of forcibly penetrating her with his finger against her will in Washington, D.C. back in 1993. She made her accusations public on 26 March 2020.
While attending Rising with Krystal and Saagar on Hill TV, she mentioned that she still remembers the assault itself, its aftermath, and reverberating effects.
Alexandra Tara then recited the alleged assault on her. She mentioned that she was walking to the Capitol and the Russell, and she was with Joe Biden in a semi-private place.

She then accused Joe of pushing her against the wall and taking his hand down her skirt. She mentioned:
"I was wearing–I wasn’t wearing anything underneath. And then, with his hand, he went from there and entered me–with his hand–and as he was trying to kiss me, and saying things to me."
Tara also described the aftermath of the assault on the program. She said:
"He was trying to kiss me, and I was pulling away. And what I remember of that time is feeling really shocked and surprised because there was no real conversation right beforehand. There was no precursor. It just happened. And then, when he did that, I was obviously pulling away. And he pulled back and said, you know, ‘Come on man, I heard you liked me,’ something to that effect. And that’s what kind of jolted me–I was trying to think what I did wrong to bring that on to me. He looked angry and irritated with me."
Tara falls under the eight women who previously accused Joe Biden of sexual assault in early 2019. Initially, her accusations were kind of allegations, and she was afraid to come forward with the incident.
It is reported that she was encouraged by the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund, that handles #MeToo Movement for the National Women's Law Center.

The Union newspaper's story (2019) reported that Tara's employment documents manifested that she served in Biden's office from December 1992 to August 1993.
Her Twitter bio defines her as a former intern for Leon Panetta, Survivor, Domestic Violence Advocate, Actress, Writer, Poet, and Animal Rights. It was told that her mother raised her to oppose American Imperialism and be skeptical of American exceptionalism.
She once faced the avalanche of critics back in a few years for her since-deleted comments, which she made about Vladimir Putin in a Medium article.
In her another Medium article titled 'POWERFUL MEN AND THE WOMEN THEY CHOOSE TO DESTROY,' she recalls the incident with Joe Biden:
"I worked for a prominent congressman and was hired later by Senator Joe Biden. Joe Biden was my political hero. The following months and events crushed my spirit in a way that is hard to express. I reported Joe Biden’s sexual harassment of me at a time when no one listened and supervisors looked at me like I was the one with the problem. Some women even suggested, I comply with serving drinks to those male donors as suggested, to advance my career and winked they would like his attention or to be in the room with some of those men. This was my life, I wondered, to parade in front of men hoping I am worthy of their attention?"
