Democratic Rep. Omar says she believes Reade's allegation against Biden, but will vote for him anyway

 

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar says she believes the sexual assault allegations make against her partyโ€™s presidential nominee, Joe Biden, by a former Biden Senate staffer and suggests that she wouldnโ€™t have made him the top Democratic candidate.

 

The former staffer, Tara Reade, alleged in March that Biden sexually assaulted her in a Capitol Hill corridor in 1993.

 

โ€œI do believe Reade,โ€ Omar told the British Sunday Times. โ€œJustice can be delayed but should never be denied.โ€

 

Omar, a Minnesota congresswoman, has since being elected in 2018 been among the most outspoken anti-establishment House Democrats, along with such fellow โ€œSquadโ€ members as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. They each supported fellow progressive Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders over Biden in their 2020 race to win the Democratic nomination.

 

Omar replied when asked by the Sunday Times whether Biden should be the nominee: "If considerations were something I had influence over, just candidly here, we'd probably have a different candidate."

 

After the story was published Sunday, Omar suggested her quotes were taken out of context but nevertheless said sheโ€™ll vote for Biden, over President Trump.
