Alexandria Donkey-Chompers: Of Course It's "Legitimate" To Talk About Tara Reade's Rape Allegation Against Joe Biden

The total Democrat Media Complex embargo is not entirely total.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday addressed a sexual assault allegation against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden by a former Senate staffer, saying it was “legitimate to talk about.”

Ocasio-Cortez was asked about the allegation against the former vice president during an online forum hosted by The Wing, a women’s network and community space, by a questioner who said she was strongly opposed to President Trump’s reelection but that she also "really resent[s] the fact that the other choice is someone who has a really long history of being creepy to women," citing the allegation by former staffer Tara Reade.

"I think it's legitimate to talk about these things," Ocasio-Cortez responded, according to CBS News. "And if we want, if we again want to have integrity, you can't say, you know — both believe women, support all of this, until it inconveniences you, until it inconveniences us."

"I think a lot of us are just in this moment where it's like, how did we get here? You know, it almost felt like we started this cycle where we had kind of moved on from, you know, from all of this. And now it feels like we're kind of back in it," she added. "You know, the most diverse field that we've ever seen -- that we're kind of back kind of replaying old movies in a way."

Speaking of the neoliberal establishment media embargoing this story:

Does anyone remember a single segment on FoxNews -- the TV broadcast, I mean; I've found a few scattered references on the website -- about Tara Reade's allegations before the New York Times gave them permission to cover it (as a media story only)?

Did Hannity ever mention it on Fox? I don't think he did. And I know he would have -- if he weren't told by management that he'd be suspended if he mentioned it.

Laura Ingraham too. Tucker Carlson would have hit the hypocrisy angle.

And yet, none of them did, as far as I know.

Did they all just coincidentally make the same decision not to report a big juicy story?

I strongly suspect the Murdoch boys and the "Brain Room" of Bill Sammon, Chris Stirewalt, Chris Wallace, etc., forbade any mention of the allegation. Making FoxNews as complicit in the coverup as CNN.

You know, one of those suspensions that the controlling liberal junta at FoxNews routinely send conservatives on, and then force conservatives to lie and claim they just took an unscheduled vacation.

(Oh by the way: These absences are in fact suspensions that they suspended people are forced to lie about. FoxNews doesn't want conservatives getting the idea that conservatives are being censored and deplatformed by FoxNews. So they suspend people and force them to lie about it.)

Let me know if you've seen any Fox news reports, on TV, about Tara Reade, prior to the NYT story.
