The New York congresswoman said of the sexual assault allegation against Biden that "silencing of all dissent" is "form of gaslighting."
New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Tuesday night said the Democratic Party should discuss the recent sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden, a charge the presumptive nominee's campaign has denied.

And if we want, if we again want to have integrity, you can't say, you know — both believe women, support all of this, until it inconveniences you, until it inconveniences us."
Reade is grateful for Ocasio-Cortez's support."I'm very humbled and honored because she is literally the only politician that has spoken up on my behalf," Reade told CBS News after the initial publication of this story. "Several people who worked in the Senate office with Ms. Reade said they did not recall any talk of such an incident or similar behavior by Mr. Biden toward her or any women. Two office interns who worked directly with Ms. Reade said they were unaware of the allegation or any treatment that troubled her," the Times wrote.
The Washington Post reported that Reade's accusation has changed over the past year in interviews she has given. When she accused Biden of inappropriate touching last year she did not mention anything about the physical assault. In addition, the AP reported that after speaking with Reade about her complaints in April 2019, it"declined to publish details of the interview at the time because reporters were unable to corroborate her allegations, and aspects of her story contradicted other reporting."
