Tara Reade, the former Senate aide to former Vice President Joe Biden who alleges that the presumptive 2020 Democrat president nominee sexually assaulted her in the 1990s, is facing a barrage of online harassment, according to a Fox News interview with Reade on Saturday.
“I find it astounding — the hypocrisy that Democrats are talking about women being able to tell their story safely,†Reade said. “I’m a Democrat, a lifelong Democrat, but yet here I am trying to talk about my history with Joe Biden and I’m just the target of online harassment.â€
Fox News reported on the harassment, including fake social media accounts in Reade’s name:
Reade told Fox News that the home address of a family member was plastered online and that person received four “creepy†calls on Friday night, all within 30 minutes, from an unknown number.
In two voice messages obtained by Fox News, a caller appeared to have posed as a journalist seeking to speak with Reade.
“Hi Ms. Reade, this is Dave Johnson from the Observer, a small New York newspaper,†the voice says before laughing uncontrollably, later saying “Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself†and “Trump 2020.â€
In the second voice message, which was the third attempt at calling Reade’s family member, the caller says: “Hey Tara, this is Dave Johnson with the Observer and I would really love, I’d really appreciate a call back so we can discuss your new powerful allegation against Vice President Biden. I think you’re setting a tone and underscoring a double standard put forth by the Me Too movement, so I’d really appreciate it if you could just call me back, give me a couple of quick questions.â€
