Former Senate staffer Tara Reade said on May 3 that she has faced online harassment and threats after she publicly accused presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden of sexual assault.

“I find it astounding—the hypocrisy that Democrats are talking about women being able to tell their story safely,” Reade told Fox News. “I’m a Democrat, a lifelong Democrat, but yet here I am trying to talk about my history with Joe Biden and I’m just the target of online harassment.”
