Will you support a formal investigation?
On the sexual assault accusation?
Will you support a formal investigation?
It’s obvious that some are not comfortable having their hypocrisy called out.
Is that the position I have advocated?
I have clearly said that Biden should receive the benefit of doubt until an investigation either clears him or confirms the accusation.
That was not the standard applied to Kavanaugh.

Then what is the problem.
The only problem I see is that some don’t like having their hypocrisy exposed.

No the situations aren't. Presidential candidate vs SC nominee. One occurring during a pandemic, the other not. One faces only the 100 Senators to approve them, the other matches up against the sitting President to have voters approve of one, the other, or (unlikely, but still possible) someone else on the ballot.The situations are quite similar. The only real difference is one accusation is directed at a then powerful senator and the other was against a high school kid at a time, place and date the accuser couldn’t remember.
The standard is looking at the evidence being provided, statements given by the accuser, the accused, and witnesses. The mothers call actually works to bring more doubt to her story of sexual assault. The inconsistencies, the story changes, the attitude changes all work against her. There are certainly things against him. The other complaints (although these support her initial allegation far better). The friends that say she told them (although that is in no way a smoking gun, since they weren't witnesses, just provide hearsay, much like Fords husband and therapist).

Ok. Let's pick the kavanaugh standard.
So all candidates should get the kavanaugh treatment....agreed?

It really isn't the calling in so much as the attitude of the mother during that call. There is no way my mother would have been so calm if she was calling to ask what she or I could do about a legitimate sexual assault incident. And to say so calmly that her daughter respected her boss? It is ridiculous. I could see her saying feared him or even saying sarcastically or angrily "respects" him. But that was just calm.I agree...
I keep seeing stories pretending like the Larry king call is proof of the assault, and I see it as exactly the opposite..
Who calls a radio show if their daughter was forcefully penetrated?!?!
That isn’t an action that points to her being told her daughter was raped?!!

It takes up a great deal of the news cycle, so if the claim is that there is hypocrisy in how this is being reported on, it would be wrong to not recognize something much more important important is going on now than then.What does the coronavirus have to do with this?
I did? Ford was not a credible witness in the kavanaugh hearing

If the claim is hypocrisy of Democrats in their view of this, that depends solely on the Democrats. Did any of those you claim are hypocrites say women should be believed even if their story is full of holes, has been investigated and found to have little credibility?

Claiming the coronavirus is relevant is a cop-out.
It seems that many partisans now to include Biden believe that women should be believed except in this case.
It is relevant to the percentage of the news cycle dedication.Claiming the coronavirus is relevant is a cop-out.

This will actually sap Biden's support. Our parties are not ideological churches so much as chambers of commerce for political factions. If your faction is motivated by women's issues, then this harms you politically. If Biden is the nominee, Tara Reade will be raised every time women's issues are on the table.

No one has said should not be believed but the claim needed to be investigated and it was. The NYT and AP did investigate both found Tara's claim to be unsubstantiated and likely false.
LAFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFriot-. Hey fox news investigated Trump's accusers and found nothing!!!
