For the first time in American history, perhaps, both presidential candidates are publicly accused of either rape or something that falls not so far from rape.
Take it in the words of Tara Reade, one the the women making the accusations against the candidates. "It's sad statement about our own culture that we are having to choose between two men that have allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment and a history of misogyny," Reade told The Associated Press.
Is it commentary on our times, on the fallen nature of our society? Or should we not let it bother us, as everyone has their faults, and we should judge them on this?
Reade accuses Joe Biden of an act of serious sexual assault. On the other side, though not receiving near as much attention in the media (at least currently), President Trump is accused of raping E. Jean Carroll and also a 13-year unnamed "Jane Doe."
