Before we dive in, what is corroboration? @Wikipedia says
“Corroborating evidence (or corroboration) is evidence that tends to support a proposition that is already supported by some initial evidence, therefore confirming the proposition.”
“Corroborating evidence (or corroboration) is evidence that tends to support a proposition that is already supported by some initial evidence, therefore confirming the proposition.”
In this case, the initial evidence is Tara Reade’s testimony, and the corroborating evidence comes from people she told about the harassment and assault. However, many have a flawed understanding of corroboration.
Today we’re going to talk about why survivors sometimes stay in contact with their perpetrators, or praise them.

“Both [Trump & Biden] have serious allegations of sexual misconduct. That alone should be disqualifying for both of them.” - @ReadeAlexandra

Reminder that @JoeBiden smelled Lucy Flores’ hair & kissed the back of her head. He then joked about it in his first public appearance after the allegations of inappropriate touching from 8 women surfaced. #WeBelieveTaraReade #MeTooNotPolitics
“Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?”
Does this behavior seem appropriate to you? This incident became public knowledge in 2019. Read @LucyFlores’ article here: thecut.com/2019/03/an-awk…
