A 1993 clip has emerged alleging to show former Joe Biden staffer Tara Reade's mother Jeanette Altimus calling into Larry King about the former Vice President's alleged sexual assault of her daughter.

And low and behold CNN has removed THIS EPISODE from the play store online so wtf. Is CNN literally trying to hide evidence that this woman is telling the truth? All other episodes are for sale but this one is missing.....
Up until this point I have said that I didn't believe this woman because who waits 30 years to make an accusation right? Well here is corroboration of the incident from 27 years ago. Evidence that CNN was apparently trying to scrub.
We have only Reade's word that the lady who called the Larry King Show was her mother. Furthermore, if you look at the transcript of the lady's call, you'll see that she said nothing about sexual assault.
Reade's story still strikes me as flimsy and unbelievable, not to mention belated.
Just because liberals uncritically peddled Christine Blasey-Ford's specious allegation against Brett Kavanaugh does not mean conservatives should uncritically peddle Reade's equally implausible story.
I think SOMETHING happened to Ford, she did not make it all up. Her life was clearly messed up drastically by something and her therapist confirmed it. But it was a group of teens, all constantly drunk, and she can not recall details - there is no way to say it was Kavanaugh, someone else, or exactly what.
By the same token - I believe Reade's account of inappropriate touching - that is echoed by several other women, and Biden's own known habits (and it's not necessarily a crime).
