"Waitress Sandwich" Sex Assault Survivor: Why On Earth Has Joe Biden Made Chris Dodd, The Man Who Publicly Violated Me, the Head of his VP Search Committee?

Yeah, gee, why would Joey Fingers be so casual about touching strange women in an illegally familiar way?

A Massachusetts woman who accused former Sen. Chris Dodd of sexually assaulting her after a booze-fueled dinner in 1985 is speaking out, saying she can’t understand why the Biden campaign tapped him to lead their vice presidential search.

...

In a lengthy phone conversation with The Post on Tuesday, Dodd’s accuser, Carla Gaviglio, now 59, said she was stunned that the Biden campaign chose the retired lawmaker, 75, when the incident between them had been in the media for decades.

"I have no idea if Biden has done this, I don’t think any of us do, but I certainly know what the senaton's done and I don’t know what they’re thinking, choosing someone like that," she said, referring to the allegations that Biden assaulted former staffer Tara Reade in 1993.

Next Up: Nancy Pelosi tells us this doesn't matter because Chris Dodd is Chris Dodd.

Meanwhile, a new poll finds that 28% of Democrats want Biden swapped out for someone 10% less rapish.

. The POLITICO/Morning Consult poll released Tuesday shows that more than a third of voters believe Democrats should abandon Biden as their nominee over the recent claims from the former Senate aide that date back to the early 1990s.

The survey -- conducted in the days after Biden appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday to personally deny the charges for the first time -- found 28 percent of Democrats "definitely" or "probably" favor replacing Biden with another nominee to take on President Donald Trump in November.

Note that over a third of all voters want Biden replaced, contrasted with 28% of Democrats.

I wonder how this happened? Republicans know more about the charges than Democrats or Independents.

Almost as if the liberal media those two groups rely on kept the story from them.

In the survey, which was conducted Saturday and Sunday, nearly 2-in-3 voters, 64 percent, said they had heard "a lot" or "some" about Reade's allegations against the then-Delaware senator. Republicans (70 percent) were more likely to say they've heard about the allegations than Democrats (62 percent) and independents (60 percent).
