evidence: Reade, who has claimed a sexual attraction to Russian President Vladimir Putin, alleges that Biden penetrated her with his finger in 1993, while she worked as an aide to then-Senator Biden. She also alleges that she was fired by Biden for refusing to serve drinks at a reception, one routine task, among many others, often expected of congressional staffers. [...] So let's begin at the beginning. Tara Reade was born Tara Reade Moulton on February 26, 1964. Her father was Robert Moulton and her stepmother Sally Ann Moulton. Her mother's name is Jeanette Altimus. [...] These twin stories are currently tearing up social media, with competing conspiracy theories flying from both pro-Biden and pro-Sanders camps in response. Biden supporters are accusing Reade of being a Russian agent, or at least a kook with suspicious intentions who's in love with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Sanders supporters are accusing the mainstream media and Time's Up of covering up Reade's accusations to protect Biden. (To be clear: Neither candidate's campaign has engaged with these conspiracy theories in any way.)
