“Enabling a Sexual Predator” – Biden Accuser Rips Hillary Clinton After Endorsement

The former Senate staffer, Tara Reade, who recently accused presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden of sexual assault, blasted Hillary Clinton for endorsing the former VP’s presidential campaign.

Recentlly, Reade claimed that Joe Biden kissed her and penetrated her with his fingers without her consent in 1993, an allegation the Biden campaign has denied.

While slamming Hillary Clinton, Reade made it clear that she expected more from a fellow Democrat.

“I voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. I voted for her in the primary. I’m a lifelong Democrat. But yet, what I see now is someone enabling a sexual predator and it was my former boss, Joe Biden, who raped me,” Reade told Fox News.

“Hillary Clinton has a history of enabling powerful men to cover up their sexual predatory behaviors and their inappropriate sexual misconduct. We don’t need that for this country. We don’t need that for our new generation coming up that wants institutional rape culture to change.”

Reade added a touch of defiance.

“I will not be smeared, dismissed or ignored. I stand in truth and I will keep speaking out,” she said.

Reade also petitioned the University of Delaware to release documents in its possession from Biden’s time as a Democratic senator from Delaware.

She said she believes the documents may contain her formal sexual harassment complaint, as The Federalist Papers reported.

“I’m calling for the release of the documents being held by the University of Delaware that contain Biden’s staff personnel records because I believe it will have my complaint form, as well as my separation letter and other documents,” Reade said.

“Maybe if other staffers that have tried to file complaints would come to light — why are they under seal? And why won’t they be released to the public?”

Many people on social media supported Reade’s rebuke. Juanita Broaddrick, who has claimed she was raped by former President Bill Clinton, tweeted that Hillary Clinton was “good at enabling sexual predators.”

McConnell Lays It Down To The Dems: New Aid Package Will Not Include Nancy Pelosi’s “Left-Wing Daydreams”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stated that the next coronavirus aid package should focus on “concrete steps to strengthen our response to this complex crisis” in an apparent rejection of plans by the Dems to bail out states with hundreds of billions of dollars that could be used to replenish long-underfunded pension plans.

“We cannot get distracted by preexisting partisan wish lists or calls to paper over decades of reckless decisions that had nothing to do with COVID-19,” the Kentucky Republican said in a statement Monday.

McConnell didn’t mention House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or the new Democratic proposal, which the Dems say will rival the $2.2 trillion CARES Act. They also say they want to provide states and local governments with hundreds of billions of dollars to make up for significant economic losses caused by the coronavirus, as the Washington Examiner reported.

Their plan to include hazard pay for grocery store workers, healthcare facilities, and other jobs during the coronavirus, and they also plan to include $25 billion to bail out the U.S. Postal Service’s debt.

Pelosi told MSNBC that Congress should now consider providing minimum basic income in order to extend federal aid beyond the next two months.

All appear to be non-starters with McConnell.

“The American people do not need tangential, left-wing daydreams,” McConnell said in the statement. “They need commonsense steps that move us toward the response, recovery, and future readiness that Americans need and deserve.”

McConnell announced that the Senate will reconvene for legislative business next Monday and would start working on “urgent needs” that include preventing “opportunistic lawsuits” against businesses and healthcare professionals.

“While our nation is asking everyone from front-line healthcare professionals to essential small-business owners to major employers to adapt in new ways and keep serving, a massive tangle of federal and state laws could easily mean their heroic efforts are met with years of endless lawsuits,” McConnell said.

“We cannot let that happen. Our nation is facing the worst pandemic in over a century and potentially the worst economic shock since the Great Depression. Our response must not be slowed, weakened, or exploited to set up the biggest trial lawyer bonanza in history.”

McConnell stated that lawmakers need to expand on legal protections included in previous aid legislation and will include “pro-certainty, pro-growth reforms,” in all future talks on new aid legislation.

Pelosi Cancels “Dangerous” Plan For House Reopening Next Week, Her Dem Colleagues Are Furious

Nancy Pelosi and the House need to get back to work and try to help this country deal with the crisis and it seemed that she was going to finally get down to it.

But latest news say that after Pelosi announced that the House would be back on May 4th, now she just changed her mind. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz also agreed saying returning next week would be “dangerous.”

The Daily Mail reported that the House of Representatives will no longer come back in session on May 4, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday on a call with reporters.

Hoyer instead said the Congressional session would resume ‘very soon,’ but also explained that the Attending Physician of the United States Congress, Dr. Brian Monahan, indicated it was too much of a health risk for members to come back to Washington, D.C., because coronavirus cases in the area hadn’t decreased in number yet.

“There was a risk to members that he would not recommend taking,” Hoyer said.

The No. 2 Democrat also said the session was delayed because CARES 2, the next coronavirus package Congress will take up, isn’t ready for a vote yet.

Hoyer’s announcement was an about-face, as House Democrats were informed on a call Monday that they were to come back to town in one week’s time.

Many other House Democrats rebelled against that plan, with Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat who previously led the Democratic National Committee, calling the move ‘dangerous,’ Politico reported.

“Nancy and I have talked a couple of times today,” Hoyer said, according to Politico’s account. “We have decided we will come back on the 4th.”

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell already announced that the Senate would come back into session next Monday.

“Look, it doesn’t make sense for the Senate to sit on the sidelines while a lot of other people are going to work everyday and trying to get us through this,” McConnell told Politico in an interview.

Hoyer’s call to return to Washington was met with resistance, with members includings Reps. Lucille Roybal-Allard of California, Susan Wild of Pennsylvania and Veronica Escobar of Texas speaking up, according to Politico’s account.

They also asked how they were supposed to deal with childcare with schools across the country closed and with Hoyer suggesting they might be needed in Washington for an extended stay.

Trump Accuses Paul Ryan Of Sabotaging Him Within Fox News, Claims The Network Is Being Duped By The Dems

President Trump ripped the hapless Paul Ryan on Twitter accusing him of trying to sabotage him at Fox News.

“Fox keeps on plugging to try and become politically correct,” Trump wrote on Twitter.

“They put RINO Paul Ryan on their Board. They hire “debate questions to Crooked Hillary fraud Donna Brazile (and others who are even worse),” he added.

Paul Ryan is on the board at Fox News and there have been multiple reports alleging that he is trying to use his position to sabotage President Trump from within the network.

“Fox News just doesn’t get what’s happening!” Trump added.

“They are being fed Democrat talking points, and they play them without hesitation or research.”

President Trump also went after Fox News reporter Chris Wallace.

“Chris Wallace is nastier to Republicans than even Deface the Nation or Sleepy Eyes,” he said referring to NBC’s Chuck Todd.

“The people who are watching Fox News in record numbers (thank you President Trump), are angry,” President Trump wrote.

“They want an alternative now. So do I!”

Ex-CIA Agent Comes Clean, Claims China Uses The Dems As “Useful Idiots” To Spread Propaganda

Former CIA operative Bryan Dean Wright appeared on Fox and Friends and blasted Joe Biden and the hapless Democrats.

He called out the Dems by name for trusting China and pushing out Chinese propaganda. He called them “useful idiots in the Democratic Party” for helping China push their narratives out in the world.

“And, if they don’t — which, by the way, I doubt that they will, having worked with these folks in the past — we now have to then rally the troops. And not, of course, not just the American people here. I’m talking about a global alliance to tell President Xi that, in fact, he is culpable,” he said, as Fox News reported.

Wright stated that China will “push back” and have already started to push their own narrative using “useful idiots in the Democratic Party” to blame President Trump.

“So, we are going to have to be able to respond as a country to say ‘enough,’ grab our alliances or all these allies, and demand that they make it right,” Wright said, arguing that voters will have a stark contrast between President Trump’s stance toward China and the much friendlier posture of Joe Biden.

“There is a profound impact then on the November election and who we choose for our president, right?” he asked. “We have to say no to Joe because Joe Biden has been in the tank for the Chinese for so long.”

Although Wright has a record of voting Democrat, he told Doocy he plans to vote for Trump in November to ensure America “continue to be exceptional” and that the U.S. holds China accountable for their actions.

“2013, [Biden] and his son flew over to Beijing, sucked up that $1.5 billion. Plus, you have to remember Biden was vice president under, of course, under Mr. Obama when we all know what the Chinese did in terms of taking our intellectual property, stealing those jobs, facilitating the nuclear program with North Korea, [and] the ballistic missile program of Iran,” he explained. “The horrific record goes on and on.”

“So, we have to say no to Joe so that we can continue to push forward with this country [and] hold the Chinese to account,” Wright concluded. “That’s why this election in November is so incredibly important.”

Sarah Tells Ocasio-Cortez To Shut Up & Go Back To Work: “Most Of Us Have To Show Up To Get Paid”

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Former Press Secretary Sarah Sanders traded blows over the congresswoman’s suggestion that employees should boycott returning to work during the coronavirus pandemic.

“When we have this discussion about ‘going back’ or ‘reopening’ — I think a lot of people should just say, ‘No, we’re not going back to that. We’re not going back to working 70-hour weeks just so that we can put food on the table and not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives,’” the Democratic lawmaker said on Wednesday.

On Thursday, Sarah Sanders blasted Rep. Ocasio-Cortez for suggesting that workers should not return to their jobs.

“.@AOC says Americans should boycott work. As usual she’s wrong,” Sanders tweeted. “The goal should be for Americans to SAFELY return to work because unlike AOC and members of Congress, most of us actually have to show up at work to get paid and support our families!”

AOC responded with a personal attack against Sarah Sanders over her time as White House press secretary, writing, “Look who’s talking about showing up for work! The woman didn’t hold a press conference for months while holding a job as press sec.”

“If you’re so supportive of this admin’s plan, why don’t you go out and try delivering groceries for a living w/o health insurance or mass testing?”

The congresswoman singled out Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, who announced on Monday that he would allow businesses such as hair salons and gyms to reopen on Friday and that movie theaters and restaurants could begin offering in-person service next week. Rep. Ocasio-Cortez condemned Kemp’s plan and said that President Trump doesn’t have a strategy to reopen the economy safely.

“Trump has NO PLAN to get people safely back to work. GOP Govs like Kemp are sending vulnerable workers to die w/ false claims of safety,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. “Trump also pushed an unproven, dangerous treatment as a ‘cure’ & firing experts who want to vet claims. Last thing you care abt is safety.”

She added, “And by the way, setting up vulnerable workers to grind 70 hours a week to barely survive and STILL not have health insurance is unsafe too.”

Jim Jordan Sees Right Through New Dem Virus Committee: “This Is Just Another Way To Harrass President Trump”

House Republicans believe that the Dems are plotting to use a new coronavirus investigative committee to damage President Trump’s reputation in the critical months ahead of the 2020 election.

On Thursday, the House will vote in an emergency session to pass a resolution creating a special House panel to oversee the distribution of billions of federal dollars dedicated to the response to the coronavirus outbreak.

Pelosi said that the panel would “prevent waste, fraud, and abuse” and would be bipartisan. She appointed the House majority whip, South Carolina Democrat James Clyburn, to oversee the panel.

But Republicans claim that there is another, more political purpose for the panel that follows in the path of the Democrats’ Russian collusion investigation and their impeachment of Trump over his efforts to get Ukraine government officials to investigate Joe Biden.

Democrats, they believe, will use the coronavirus committee as a platform to publicly excoriate Trump over his response to the coronavirus, which many Democrats have been harshly criticizing as negligent.

“This is just one more attempt by the Democrats to go after the president,” Rep. Jim Jordan, the top GOP member on the House Oversight panel, said.

Republicans also pointed out that there are already eight oversight entities that can ensure the money is not misspent, including a special inspector general and congressionally-appointed panel backed with $25 million in federal funding.

“The first eight are going to look out for the taxpayers,” Jordan said. “The ninth is going to look out for the Democrats’ candidate for president, Joe Biden.”

Republicans now envision coronavirus hearings that will replicate the Russia and Ukraine probes targeting Trump, but with much higher stakes — taking place right before the 2020 election.

“Here we go in an election year, and we know what these hearings will look like this fall,” Jordan said, testifying before the House Rules Committee Wednesday in an expansive hearing room. “They’ll probably take place in this room, like all the big hearings seem to do, and they’ll be calling all kinds of people to go after the president.”

Mitch McConnell Checkmates Nancy Pelosi – Let Blue States Go Bankrupt, Will Not Bail Out State Pensions

On Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that he favors allowing states struggling with high public employee pension costs amid the burdens of the pandemic response to declare bankruptcy rather than giving them a federal bailout.

“I would certainly be in favor of allowing states to use the bankruptcy route,” he said Wednesday in a response to a question on the syndicated Hugh Hewitt radio show. “It’s saved some cities, and there’s no good reason for it not to be available.”

MSN reported that the host cited California, Illinois and Connecticut as states that had given too much to public employee unions, and McConnell said he was reluctant to take on more debt for any rescue.

“My guess is their first choice would be for the federal government to borrow money from future generations to send it down to them now so they don’t have to do that,” he said. “That’s not something I’m going to be in favor of.”

“I said yesterday we’re going to push the pause button here, because I think this whole business of additional assistance for state and local governments needs to be thoroughly evaluated,” McConnell added.

“You raised yourself the important issue of what states have done, many of them have done to themselves with their pension programs,” he said. “There’s not going to be any desire on the Republican side to bail out state pensions by borrowing money from future generations.”

Allowing states to file for bankruptcy idea was raised in the wake of the previous recession. It drew widespread disdain from Wall Street investors, public employee unions and both Republican and Democratic governors, who claimed that it would unsettle the bond market and cause even the most fiscally sound states to face higher interest rates because of the risk the debt could be wiped out in court.

U.S. lawmakers of both parties also criticized it during a House hearing, that was convened to discuss it in 2011 and was swiftly dropped.

The National Governors Association has stated that states and municipalities will need at least $500 billion in aid to deal with the crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic as tax revenue falls and demands for resources escalate. The Dems unsuccessfully pushed for state aid in the interim rescue package that passed the Senate on Tuesday.

McConnell took credit for blocking that. He said there should be a “fulsome” discussion among all senators on whether and how to send more aid to state governments and how that money should be spent.

Pelosi Begs Americans To Believe Her & Not Their Own Eyes After Stunt Backfires “We Didn’t Hold Up” Aid

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi pulled a Joe Biden and got all confused on national TV.

First, Pelosi bragged about delaying the next round of stimulus, before denying she held up aid and tried to blame the GOP.

“Two weeks ago today, Secretary Mnuchin called me and he said he wanted a quarter of a trillion dollars, $250 billion and he wanted it in 48 hours. That was Tuesday,” Pelosi said.

“Then, on Thursday, Leader McConnell was bringing this bill to the floor and — that he wanted our support for it.”

“I told him that that wasn’t possible. We had to have our consultation with the House Democrats about what we would propose.”

“The next day, the 8th of April…Congressional Democrats came together around a proposal described by the distinguished leader already on how we address the underbanked, how we address those in rural, Native American, veterans, women, people of color, small businesses that are considered the underbanked, how they could be included.”

“And then, of course, as the leader said, funding for hospitals and testing that he described. And I associate myself with his characterization of all of that.”

“So, here we are today, two weeks from that Tuesday of the request, when the Republicans and the administration replied that there was no way that they were going to join us, that they had the 250, that’s the way it was going to be.”

“There was going to be nothing else. They took a defeat on the floor. Because the Congressional Democrats stuck together.”

“Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen objecting and then proposing our proposal, which is almost exactly what they passed today.”

“So, in terms of holding up the works, they were the ones who held up the works for a package that is more effective, fairer, and the rest as we go forward.”

“We didn’t hold up. They held up. And now we have prevailed.”

Devin Nunes Blasts Pelosi After Her Cheap Stunt: “If a Republican Did That He Would Get Thrown Out”

California Rep. Devin Nunes shut down House Speaker Nancy Pelosi after her little stunt backfired. And it backfired because it exposed Pelosi and her attitude towards the average American worker.

Pelosi joined comedian James Corden on his late-night show last week, showing the camera more than a dozen containers of ice cream in her freezer.

“I don’t know what I would’ve done if ice cream were not invented,” Nancy Pelosy said in the interview.

The Washington Examiner reported that Nunes joined Fox & Friends Weekend and claimed that if a Republican had done the same thing as Nancy Pelosi, they would be pulled from leadership.

“If any Republican leader, if [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell or [House Minority Leader] Kevin McCarthy or any of our speakers in the past would have said — done something like Pelosi did, where she’s sitting at home in front of her refrigerator with a, you know, $24,000, you know, freezer that I don’t think too many of us have…”

“It would be a fatal flaw,” Nunes said. “We would boot McConnell or McCarthy out of leadership just like that. They would have been out four days ago, the minute that that popped up.”

He added: “When you have … 20 million people unemployed — you have people that can’t get paychecks.”

“What the hell is going on? And you know, she’s sitting in San Francisco eating gourmet ice cream? It doesn’t fly out in the real world.”
