Pelosi Snaps at Reporter Over Double Standard Question: ‘Joe Biden Is Joe Biden’

“Do you think that it is time for Vice President Biden to address this head-on himself?” Camerota asked.

“Well, I have great sympathy for any women who bring forth an allegation,” Pelosi said.

“I’m a big, strong supporter of the MeToo movement. I think it has been a great, made a great contribution to our country.

“And I do support Joe Biden. I’m satisfied with how he has responded,” she said.

After being pressed, Pelosi added she is “impressed with the people who worked for him at the time saying they absolutely never heard one iota of information about [the allegation].

“Nobody ever brought forth a claim or had anybody else tell them about such a claim,” Pelosi said.

“But, again, we have an important election at hand, one that is, I think, one of the most important ones that we’ve had.”

Pelosi formally endorsed Biden on Monday, despite the fact the the presumptive Democratic nominee is facing an increasingly credible accusation of sexual assault from Reade.

Questions about Reade’s allegation have become problematic for high-profile Democrats, who largely dug in against Kavanaugh in 2018.

Reade, who worked for Biden from late 1992 until August 1993, has accused the then-senator from Delaware of kissing, groping and digitally penetrating her during an unwanted sexual advance.

Biden’s campaign has denied the allegation.

Last month, Biden’s deputy campaign manager and communications director Kate Bedingfield told Fox News, “Women have a right to tell their story, and reporters have an obligation to rigorously vet those claims.”
