A few minutes ago Trump was asked about Joe Biden and Tara Reade’s allegations of sexual assault and below is how he responded:
Video: And with that question from @ABC's @KyraPhillips, Trump has been asked about Tara Reade more times than Joe Biden. He invoked Kavanaugh for having been "falsely charged, what happened with him was an absolute disgrace to our country…I saw a man suffering so unfairly." pic.twitter.com/LxFPl2uYOI

On The Five Dana Perino described Trump’s response as ‘deft’. I would agree with that. He didn’t make himself the center of the story by saying anything that might be considered controversial, which is what the media would have loved.
Rather, Trump simply suggested that Biden should respond to it, noting he doesn’t know if the allegations are true or false. Trump added that he knows something about false allegations, and started discussing Brett Kavanaugh at that point.
Perino also noted in her segment that Biden has finally agreed to take questions on the top of Tara Reade from Morning Joe tomorrow morning. I’m sure he’ll deny deny deny, but I’m less interested in his denial than his response to releasing his records.
As an aside, I’ll point out what Greg Gutfeld said a few minutes ago, that Trump has already been asked more about Tara Reade than Joe Biden. Wow. Well we don’t call them the lamestream media for nothing.
