#MeToo? Not When the Accused is Joe Biden, According to Actress Alyssa Milano

Activist actress Alyssa Milano made a spectacle of herself at the Kavanaugh hearings. She was at the forefront of the #MeToo movement and gave multiple television interviews during the hearings demanding that all women be believed.

When it comes to the allegations against Joe Biden, the presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee, she is now urging caution and demanding due process.

Alyssa Milano explains silence on Joe Biden sexual assault allegation, says men deserve ‘due process’

Alyssa Milano is defending her decision to stay silent in the wake of a recently surfaced allegation against former Vice President Joe Biden by former Senate staffer Tara Reade, who claims he sexually assaulted her in 1993.

Milano, 47, spoke with radio host Andy Cohen on Monday during his SiriusXM broadcast and when Cohen brought up the fact that, once again, Milano had been a trending topic on Twitter. He gave the actress the floor to speak on the matter and she did so, choosing her words gingerly.

“So it’s actually quite a serious reason, I think. So I’ve been I endorsed Joe Biden. And there have been accusations against Joe about sexual assault,” Milano began. “I have not publicly said anything about this.”…

She explained to Cohen: “If you remember, it kind of took me a long time to publicly say anything about Harvey [Weinstein] as well because I believe that even though we should believe women and that is an important thing. And what that statement really means is like, you know, for so long, the go-to has been not to believe them. So really, we have to sort of societally change that mindset to believing women.”

“But that does not mean at the expense of not, you know, giving men their due process and investigating situations and giving, you know, it’s gotta be fair and in both directions,” Milano added.

There is something to the idea that people are going to weaponize #metoo for political gain. Just look at the replies here and look to see who those accounts are supporting in the primary. There always needs to be a thorough vetting of accusations.

#BelieveWomen does not mean everyone gets to accuse anyone of anything and that’s that. It means that our societal mindset and default reaction shouldn’t be that women are lying.

I believe, along with many others in this space, that accusations need to be investigated with due process for the accused. This is the only way for the movement to work & create the change we are fighting for.

Anything less puts the entire movement and women’s equality at risk.

Milano is getting absolutely dragged for this.

Remember all the mainstream media attention Milano got for sitting behind Kavanaugh and scouring and weeping? There’s no corroborating evidence Kavanaugh and Ford have even met. This is a former Biden staffer. Now Milano is “whoa whoa, we have to hear him out!” https://t.co/G1D9z7acjd

Stop digging.

You had no such parameters when Christine Blasey-Ford leveled 100% unsubstantiated bullshit at Brett Kavanaugh.

You’re a hypocrite.

A fraud. https://t.co/d8mQ6ooA5I

Also, think back to her specifically and her obnoxious custom clipboard. pic.twitter.com/IgvAWW3AUl

Even her #MeToo ally, actress Rose McGowan, is calling her out in a brutal way.

You are a fraud. This is about holding the media accountable. You go after Trump & Kavanaugh saying Believe Victims, you are a lie. You have always been a lie. The corrupt DNC is in on the smear job of Tara Reade, so are you. SHAME https://t.co/B7NHK4k09K

If it wasn’t already clear that for some people, this was always about politics and power, it is now.
