First of all, I have to tell you, I did give Bodem accuser Tara Reade the benefit of the doubt at first. And really, Joe Biden wouldn’t have been my first choice for Democratic presidential nominee, like many people, for a variety of reasons (including the fact he is kind of creepy). That having been said, I first heard this quote on _Real Time_ with Bill Maher. Maher’s quote went into more detail (including calling Putin a great lover of women and children too). But here is what I found: > [@](#): > > President Putin has an alluring combination of strength with gentleness. His sensuous image projects his love for life, the embodiment of grace while facing adversity. _Tara Reade_ [Cite](https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/3046962001). This Google article (if it loads) brings up a lot of other good points too. Thoughts:)? :):):):):):)🙂 ---

Yeah, it was one of the first things that people were curious about regarding her case. Her love of putin and her changing her story right when Biden won the nomination had a lot of people question her motives. Also politico and PBS put our some good articles about her and her claims recently.
