Joe Biden Thinks We Should Believe Women—Just Not Tara Reade

In March, former Joe Biden staffer Tara Reade went public with the explosive allegation that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden had sexually assaulted her in 1993.

The Intercept’s Ryan Grim, who recently broke new revelations in the story, joins Mehdi Hasan to discuss.
