During a recent interview on MSNBC, Joe Biden gave a rather surprising answer when asked about the Tara Reade allegations.
Host Lawrence O’Donnell asked Biden what women who were planning to support him should think about the accusations.
Biden said that if women believe it they shouldn’t vote for him.

Joe Biden: People who believe Tara Reade ‘probably shouldn’t vote for me’
Former Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday said Americans who believe Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegations against him probably shouldn’t vote for him in the Nov. 3 presidential election.
The presumptive Democratic nominee also pushed back hard at the 27-year-old allegations, saying Reade’s story has “changed considerably.”
Biden made the comments while appearing on MSNBC’s The Last Word. Host Lawrence O’Donnell asked what he would tell women who were eager to vote for him in November but now have pause because they believe Reade’s allegations.
“I think they should vote their heart, and if they believe Tara Reade, they probably shouldn’t vote for me. I wouldn’t vote for me if I believed Tara Reade,” Biden said.

Biden, who has denied the allegations, said he does not remember Reade and that inconsistencies in her account bolster his contention that he did not assault her .

This has actually been a pattern for Biden.

It’s a rather odd strategy, isn’t it?
It’s unclear how Biden thinks this helps him.
