Maher to Tara Reade on timing of sexual assault allegation: 'Why wait until Biden is our only hope?'
|
 [The Hill] HBO's Bill Maher on Friday night questioned the timing of Tara Reade's sexual assault allegation against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden while arguing that Democrats backed themselves into a corner with their calls to "believe all women" amid the "Me Too" movement.
The progressive commentator weighed in as Reade's allegation that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, when she was a Senate staffer, continues to generate coverage following her on-camera interview with former NBC News and Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly this week.
"You waited 27 years. You think it couldn't wait a few more months? That's what I'd like to ask Ms. Reade. Why now?" Maher said during a segment on his show Friday night. "I'm not saying why not 27 years ago. I understand it can take victims years to come forward. I'm saying, why not before Super Tuesday? Why not last fall when we still had a dozen other candidates to choose from? Why wait until Biden is our only hope against Trump and then take him down?"
Maher also mocked The New York Times for its recommendation that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) investigate the claims against Biden.
"The New York Times is calling for the DNC to establish a truth panel on this. Truth panel, huh? Which part? Putin’s reverence for animals or how intoxicating he is to women?" the host continued, citing past reported remarks from Reade about Russian President Vladimir Putin.
