You really should listen to this clip of Alyssa Milano explaining why she has been silent on the Tara Reade sexual assault allegations against Joe Biden. In fact she’s still completely endorsing him:
I explained my silence on the allegations against Joe Biden in this clip.
I am still endorsing @JoeBiden. Listen to this clip to find out why. #MeToo #TimesUp https://t.co/6v7udELEzv

Here’s the audio:
Just a couple of amazing highlights from Milano:
I’ve not publicly said anything about this. If you remember it took me a long time to say anything about Harvey as well, because I believe that even though we should believe women…that does not mean at the expense of not giving men their due process and investigating situations. It’s gotta be fair in both directions.
Can you believe those words actually came out of her mouth after the way she treated Kavanaugh? It’s hysterically hypocritical.
And then on top of that she claimed that she did her “due diligence” in speaking with Times Up, an activist organization who refused to take Tara Reade’s case last year, and suggest that neither they nor the media are jumping on the story because it’s not credible enough:
I did do my due diligence because part of it was that – the article that sort of stood out to me was that Time’s Up decided not to take the case. …I did my work and I spoke to Time’s Up and I don’t feel comfortable throwing away a decent man I’ve known for 15 years in this time of complete chaos without their being a thorough investigation. I’m sure the mainstream media would be jumping all over this as well if they found more evidence through their investigation. So I’m just kinda staying quiet about it.
This is absolute bull malarkey. According to The Intercept, who reported on this story in late March, Times Up refused to take Reade’s case because Biden was a candidate for federal office and it would have jeopardized their non-profit status:
this time to @TIMESUPNOW @TIMESUPLDF. As @ryangrim reported on at @theintercept, the organization said they couldn't help her because Biden was a candidate for federal office & supporting a case against him could jeopardize their nonprofit status. Grim… https://t.co/ps2JZMsizb

It had nothing to do with Reade’s case being credible or not. In fact it likely had everything to do with Biden’s connections within the group protecting him:
also pointed out that "The public relations firm that works on behalf of the Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund is SKDKnickerbocker, whose managing director, Anita Dunn, is the top adviser to Biden’s presidential campaign." Not surprisingly, there were no witnesses to the alleged…

And of course we know why the MSM isn’t touching it. Joe Biden is their only possible hope of defeating Trump….
Milano then, on top of all of this, actually suggested “there’s something to the idea that people are going to weaponize #metoo for political gain”:
There is something to the idea that people are going to weaponize #metoo for political gain. Just look at the replies here and look to see who those accounts are supporting in the primary. There always needs to be a thorough vetting of accusations.

Absolutely amazing. She has the gall to say this after the #metoo movement, which she participated in, was absolutely weaponized to keep Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court. She was there at the Kavanaugh hearings with Christine Blasey Ford! And yet now she wants to stay silent on the allegations against Joe Biden, not even demanding an investigation of the case?
Hypocrisy, thy name is Alyssa Milano!
