Because the accused is a well known person and she is nutso. Same goes for this Tara Reid character.
What independent evidence do you have that E. Jean Carroll, who is quite well known and very successful is a 'nutso?' =
While
n pieces of statistically independent garbage = better garbage, my point is that these accusations are not independent of each other. Thus they cannot be used as mutual corroboration.
You are assuming that one accusation is inspired another accusation and not a reporting of an actual event. Your bias is skewing your conclusion.
Certainly not. But at the same time, we should not believe a nutso woman who says she was raped in a changing room at Barneys in the 90s while the store was open and nobody heard or saw anything, just because we dislike the guy she is accusing.
There is no evidence that Carroll is 'nutso.' Your bias in any rape accusation is that the woman is lying.
Yes, I have many reasons to dislike Trump, not the least of which is his self-admitted history of sexually assaulting women as the mood and opportunity struck. But there are tons of reasons to dislike Trump without believing he sexually assaults women whenever he wants. For instance, I detest Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell and have no believe that either sexually assaulted any woman.
I don't believe Carroll because I dislike Trump. I tend to believe Carroll because there is no possible motivation for her to come forward now, so many years later---and because so many other women have made similar accusations against Trump AND because Trump's own words indicate that he sees no difference between what he wants and what he's entitled to grab.
I will admit that when the first accusation surfaced against Bill Cosby, I was skeptical---and hoped like hell that it wasn't true. But as accusations kept mounting, it became impossible to deny that Cosby is one sick dude, no matter how much I enjoy him as a performer.
As far as Tara Reid goes? I have some serious doubts about the veracity of her accusations against Biden. They seem out of character---which doesn't mean they are not true. Reid's own history suggests her motivation might be political rather than to reveal an ugly aspect of a candidate's character and to bring to light a terrible dead. If she had said that he tried to steal a kiss? That would be believable. If she said he propositioned her? Still believable if a little bit...seemingly out of character. But her claim that he pushed her against a wall, shoved his hands inside her clothing and digitally penetrated her? Seems both out of character and difficult to accomplish given how she describes her clothing that day. I won't write her off as crazy and I don't totally dismiss her accusation as fiction but I find it more doubtful.
