Regarding Jonah Goldberg’s column “Burden of proof on Joe Biden to deflect Tara Reade accusations”: Even though I wouldn’t vote for Biden, I think that he is entitled, as is every American, to be presumed innocent until he is proven guilty by a jury of his peers. He already stated he did not assault his accuser. In these “he said-she said” cases, it is very difficult to determine who is telling the truth, but when a person comes forth after 30 years and then changes her story several times, it causes me severe doubt. Especially right before an election.

Maybe if this woman had gone to the press 30 years ago, Biden would have changed his behavior toward women.
