Biden will not likely use the too-ugly-to-assault defense.

Has Reade been publicly harassed yet by "liberal" reporters delving into her past, searching for anything to discredit her? Has she had to move yet because of the harassing phone calls and death threats?

My interest is in how Trump supporters/defenders construct equivalences between Biden and Trump, now that Biden is "just as bad."  

Those who do not immediately assent to equivalence--Will this be more "proof' that condemnation of Trump for two dozen allegations of assault and continuous public denigration of women who criticized him was always just partisanship and "hypocrisy"?  Assault is ok when it's their guy? ("ok" meaning they wait for investigation rather than condemning Biden immediately.)

I don't think you have to look very deep on this one.  People don't want the guy they support to be bad and they want the guy they are against to be bad so they'll just use what they want to be true to color their thinking.  I don't think it goes any deeper than that. Biden is ok to liberals because he's gotta beat Trump and Trump is way more into being a sex offender and Trump is ok to neo-cons because he was kidding about being really really happy about being a total creep and the women after him are just trying to ruin him.

And if you need further proof we can just round up a bunch of Bengals fans who hate the #meetoo movement and think it's a crime that women can so easily ruin a man's life with baseless accusations and ask them how often they refer to Ben Rothelisberger as a rapist.
