There's more evidence now and coroboration for this sexual assault accusation than the one against Brett Kavanaugh (albeit one accusation was inappropriate touching vs rape, and this is for different jobs, SCOTUS vs POTUS).
Will Democrats apply the same standard here? Doubt it. I also don't care what Trump has been accused of in the past.
Also funny how CNN and other major news outlets sat on this story for weeks/months when the Democratic race was still an open one. They played themselves.
Edit: Also, a great thread title. I forcibly exhaled air through both nostrils.
I understand it's technically correct but is anyone else uncomfortable with calling what Joe Biden allegedly did rape? It seems a little misleading, based on the commonly understood idea of rape.
What do you mean when you say you don't care what Trump has been accused of?
The different standards between accusations against right-wing figures vs left-wing figures are of course a legitimate media criticism, but I'm not sure holding off on airing accusations until there's sufficient enough evidence is bad practice. Media outlets should be cautious when airing these claims.
