Progressive Democrat Representative Ilhan Omar has voiced her belief in Tara Reade’s allegations of sexual assault against Joe Biden in 1993. Despite her belief in Reade’s claims, Omar has stated that she will support Biden in the upcoming presidential election to prevent Donald Trump’s re-election.
Omar shared her perspective with the British publication Sunday Times, emphasizing that justice may be delayed but should not be denied. Biden has consistently denied Reade’s allegations and even suggested in an MSNBC interview that those who believe her “probably shouldn’t vote for me.”
On Twitter, Omar reaffirmed her commitment to supporting survivors while expressing her intent to vote for Biden as the challenger to Trump. It’s worth noting that Tara Reade has faced credibility issues, leading her lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, who has represented victims of high-profile figures like Harvey Weinstein, to terminate their representation of her.
