On Tuesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez surprised us all when she spoke out against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden regarding allegations against him by a former Senate staffer. She said that it is an issue that's “legitimate to talk about.”
"I think it's legitimate to talk about these things," Ocasio-Cortez responded when asked about the allegations on an online forum hosted by The Wing. "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."
The Hill reports:
Reade has said Biden sexually assaulted her when she worked in the then-Delaware senator’s office in 1993. Biden has yet to address the allegation, but his campaign has denied it.
“Such claims should also be diligently reviewed by an independent press. What is clear about this claim: It is untrue. This absolutely did not happen,” Biden’s deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, told CBS.
Reade first alleged Biden had touched her inappropriately in April 2019 as one of several women who made similar allegations at the time against Biden, prompting an apology from the former vice president. But Reade did not specify at the time that she was alleging sexual assault.
Although Ocasio-Cortez was a Bernie Sanders supporter, she stated in March that she wold endorse Biden if he became the Democratic party's nomination. I wonder if she will still go through with that.

REVOLUTION! Bernie Staffers REVOLT After Sanders Does the Unthinkable!
Even though there is but one Democrat left to run against President Trump in the coming election, the Democratic party as a whole is still divided heavily and I don't believe that there is anything that they can do before the election to fix this.
As we are now only 7 months away from the general election, the Democrats have proved that they are still bitter from Hillary Clinton's loss in 2016. She even colluded with the DNC to rig the nomination and to prevent Bernie Sanders from getting the nomination.
