Joe Biden's critics are blasting CNN for failing to uncover archival footage that they say would help corroborate Tara Reade's allegations that the former vice president sexually assaulted her in 1993.
Shaun King, an ardent Sanders campaign supporter, tweeted on Friday about the clip:"This much is clear. In 1993 the mother of Tara Reade was so disturbed by what her daughter told her Joe Biden did to her, & the lack of help she said she got from his staff, that she called Larry King to talk about it the week Tara stopped working for him," he tweeted Friday evening.
New York Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has been one of the most vocal progressive critics of Biden -- a wing of the Democratic Party that largely opposed Hillary Clinton's candidacy in 2016. Ocasio-Cortez has recently accused the party of."If we again want to have integrity, you can't say, you know, both believe women, support all of this, until it inconveniences you," she said at the time.
Reade's allegations have become a focal point among progressive members of the Democratic Party who have accused Biden and other establishment figures of ignoring their ideas and demands in claims that date back to the 2016 presidential primary between Sanders and Hillary. Many Sanders supporters have accused the Democratic National Committee, Clinton and the mainstream media of conspiring to bring down his candidacy.
Meanwhile, right-wing news outlets have also joined progressive Democratic factions in criticizing CNN for not giving fair coverage to Reade in comparison to sexual assault allegations brought against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.
