“We need to believe survivors”

April 30, 2020

Back in 2018, Abby Finkenauer was very passionate in criticizing the investigation into allegations against Justice Kavanaugh, saying someone in such a high position must have “the utmost character,” and that “we need to believe survivors.”
 
So what’s changed now that Joe Biden, her endorsed candidate for president, has been credibly accused of sexual assault? Finkenauer hasn’t called for an investigation, hasn’t demanded Biden release his Senate records and hasn’t even called on Biden to address Tara Reade’s accusations.
 
Does Abby only believe survivors when it’s politically convenient?
