Joe Biden vehemently denied allegations of a former staff member saying “news organizations should examine and evaluate the full and growing record of inconsistencies in her story, which has changed repeatedly in both small and big ways.”

Biden went on to say “women deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and when they step forward they should be heard, not silenced. The second is that their stories should be subject to appropriate inquiry and scrutiny.”

Many Democrats believe the resurfaced allegations is tied to President Trump in an attempt to smear Biden’s character and sway Election 2020.
