Politico sees President Trump’s hesitation to attack former Vice President’s Joe Biden’s denials of sexual harassment accusations as an admission of this own vulnerability on the issue. Michael Knowles of The Daily Caller says, “Yes and No.”
Politico is right that Trump is leery of such allegations and seems willing to give Biden the benefit of the doubt on the Tara Reade affair. After all, Trump said, “All of a sudden you become a wealthy guy, you’re a famous guy, then you become president. And people that you’ve never seen, that you’ve never heard of, make charges.”
In a recent podcast interview, Trump went further, advising Biden to, “Just go out and fight it.”
Politico’s Anita Kumar and Meredith McGraw say Trump’s avoidance of going on the attack mode is because he “appears to see himself in Biden.” They say his insistence the allegations of “more than 20 women” have all been “baseless” is why he has left the heavy lifting of going after Biden on the issue to his “campaign operatives.”
But Knowles says Trump has no reason to step into the fray; the similarities of the allegations made against him and Joe Biden are much less than Politico would have us believe.
