Time's Up says Joe Biden addressed sexual assault allegation 'with the seriousness it deserves,' then points finger at Trump
, Time’s Up — the anti-sexual harassment advocacy group launched by Hollywood celebrities — has applauded Biden for addressing the claim head-on, while taking the opportunity to slam President Donald Trump for his lack of transparency around the multiple claims of sexual assault and harrasment against him.
The media coverage of Biden’s allegation has become heavily politicized with conservatives slamming liberals for a double-standard, comparing the minimal coverage around Reade’s accusation to the media firestorm that surrounded Christine Blasey Ford’s assault allegation against Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Critics have cited the timing of an election year when taking issue with the lack of media response to Reade’s allegations.
The statement from Time’s Up was issued on behalf of the group’s CEO Tina Tchen, a former aide to the Obamas and chief of staff to First Lady Michelle Obama. Time’s Up has a legal fund, administered by the National Women’s Law Center, which connects sexual harassment victims with attorneys who can provide legal assistance. The Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, which has provided funding to more than 4,400 men and women, has helped accusers of Harvey Weinstein and other high-profile accusers whose sexual harassment and assault allegations fueled Hollywood headlines, ever since the #MeToo movement launched a global reckoning in 2017.
