„You should not be running on character for the president of the United States,“ Reade said during the interview.
Tara Reade, who has accused former Vice President Joe Biden of sexual assault, told former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly that Biden should withdraw from the presidential race.
Reade has accused Biden of pushing her against the wall and penetrating her with his fingers while Reade was working as his aide in 1993. Biden has denied the claims.
„It is not true,“ Biden told MSNBC on Friday. „I am saying unequivocally it never, never happened and it didn’t. It never happened.“
„In every case, the truth is what matters,“ Biden added. „In this case, the truth is the claims are false.“
Biden also said that the claims of women who allege sexual misconduct must be „taken seriously,“ but the allegations must also be vetted.
During the interview, which will be posted on Megyn Kelly’s YouTube channel and Instagram feed, Reade said she believed Biden needed to be „held accountable“ for his alleged actions.
„You and I were there, Joe Biden,“ Reade said. „Please step forward and be held accountable. You should not be running on character for the president of the United States.
