President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris remained silent Tuesday as a third woman accused New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo — a fellow Democrat and administration ally — of sexual harassment.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki was pressed at her daily briefing on when either Biden or Harris — who grilled Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh about past sexual assault allegations at his Senate confirmation hearing in 2018 — would comment themselves, especially given that one of the Cuomo accusers worked for the Biden campaign.
“Well, I know that’s how the vice president continues to feel, and the benefit of doing a briefing every day is that I can certainly speak on behalf of the president and the vice president,” Psaki told reporters.
“And so let me reiterate that they both believe that every woman coming forward should be heard, should be treated with dignity, and treated with respect.”
On Tuesday, Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who alleged that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, came out in support of Lindsey Boylan, one of Cuomo’s accusers.
Reade, who made the allegations against Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign, told Fox News that she was “very supportive” of Boylan.
