1) A politician “unequivocally denying” such a charge means nothing. Adams did, too. 2) A politician being a longtime champion of women’s rights means little. Adams was, too.
3) The fact that dozens of women who worked for a politician say they never had any problems with him means nothing. Many Adams aides said likewise. 4) In the ‘90s, some women who were otherwise ardent feminists acted as enablers of abusive political bosses.
5) There are many good reasons why victims wait years to come forward. In Adams’ case, in fact, we had to track them down. 6) It’s not unusual to have inconsistencies in the accounts of accusers and their corroborators. That all said...
7) Such predatory behavior rarely, if ever, is a singular, isolated act. In every high-profile case, including @realDonaldTrump, there is a pattern. That’s where reporters should be focused now. If they find nothing, Biden’s denial will be credible.
