RNC Chairwoman: Networks That Ignored Biden Allegation Should Be Barred From Presidential Debates

Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel is calling for the networks that ignored the sexual assault allegation against former Vice President Joe Biden to be barred from hosting any 2020 presidential debate.

Biden has been accused of both sexually harassing and sexually assaulting Tara Reade, a woman who worked in his Senate office in the 1990s. She alleges that Biden pushed her up against a wall and penetrated her with his fingers without her consent, but he has denied the allegation.

McDaniel, in a Sunday morning appearance on ABC News’s This Week, brought up the lack of media coverage surrounding the allegation early on, contrasting the matter with coverage of sexual misconduct allegations levied against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.

“Brett Kavanaugh, every accuser was put on TV. It was wall-to-wall coverage. They went into his high school yearbook. They said he needed an FBI investigation … And then you go to Joe Biden. Five weeks of silence, 19 interviews without a single question. He won’t let people go into his records in the University of Delaware. They’re calling on the DNC to do the investigation,” she explained.

“I think any outlet that conducted those 19 interviews and didn’t ask a single question should be disqualified from conducting any part of a presidential debate,” she added. (Read more from “RNC Chairwoman: Networks That Ignored Biden Allegation Should Be Barred From Presidential Debates” HERE)
