Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is weighing in on the sexual assault allegation made against former Vice President Joe Biden.
Co-host of “The View” Joy Behar asked Booker what he made of the allegation and he came to Biden’s defense.
“He has said this hasn’t happened and I stand with Joe on his nomination and believe he will be the best president,” Booker said.
“He will be a much better president not only than Donald Trump but a president for these times where we need healing, where we need moral leadership and I think he can provide that,” Booker continued.
Watch his comments below:
Tara Reade, a former staffer while Biden was a senator, is alleging he sexually assaulted her in 1993, as IJR previously reported.
Biden publicly denied the allegation in a statement he released last week.
Biden’s campaign manager Kate Bedingfield released an additional statement Friday claiming there are multiple “inconsistencies” in Reade’s claims.
Booker offered praise to Biden for his belief all claims should be investigated.
“We need to listen to women and so many womens’ complaints. We have a culture that disregards, demeans, and degrades women who come forward with stories of assault,” Booker said.
