of the U.S. ambassador to Ireland Monday, Biden insisted that he thought Hill "was telling the truth at the beginning ― I really did."

Women accusing men, particularly national figures, should be presumed to be telling the truth, he said. "For a woman to come forward in the glaring lights of focus, nationally, you’ve got to start off with the presumption that at least the essence of what she’s talking about is real, whether or not she forgets facts, whether or not it’s been made worse or better over time," he said, the Washington Post reports. "But nobody fails to understand that this is like jumping into a cauldron."


Hmm. I wouldn’t want a president that doesn’t believe in innocent until proven guilty

Agreed.

I could at least respect this position, however (even though I'd still strongly disagree with it), if the Dems were consistent. But, as we've seen with Bill Clinton then and now with Keith Ellison (just to name two), Dems only apply this standard selectively, which makes it worthless.

Gender, age, religion, ethnicity...none of these should change the way we view someone's basic human rights. Biden should zip it.

No. As a woman myself, I have seen women make false accusations. Someone I am related to did this. You don’t brag about your experience then cry rape.

I agree, I would not want his as POTUS.

Ditto. And I've known many women (and men) who've lied on order to twist the situation in their favour. Biden is just pandering to the all the women who voted for Hillary. He's never getting my vote.

Then I guess you believe Hillary is innocent since she has never been charged. Not to mention you voted for a President who believes Hillary is guilty without any proof.

Ellison accuser not believed... read through her Twitter account...

No, they don't. I've been smeared, threatened, isolated from my own party. I provided medical records from 2017, stating on two different Dr. Visits, I told them about the abuse and who did it. My therapist released records stating I have been dealing and healing from the abuse

I disagree. Women must be listened too, respected, and allegations investigated. There is no requirement to believe them, but there is a requirement to pay attention and investigate.


Of course and then there is Trump who refuses so far to allow the FBI to investigate.
