I couldn\u2019t get a job on the Hill.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Now, She&#8217;s given a\u00a0<strong>graphic podcast interview<\/strong>\u00a0with\u00a0<em>Rolling Stone&#8217;s<\/em>\u00a0Katie Halper where she tells her\u00a0<strong><em>full story<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Reade describes a graphic incident from 1993 in which as superior asked her to run a gym bag to Biden &#8220;down towards the capital.&#8221; When Biden greeted her (not allegedly of course, since we&#8217;re believing all women), he\u00a0<strong>forced her up against a wall and shoved his hands up her skirt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden&#8217;s &#8220;hands were on me and underneath my clothes,&#8221; she said, after he &#8220;had me up against the wall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remember him saying first, like as he was doing it, \u2018Do you want to go somewhere else,'&#8221; she said, adding &#8220;And then him saying to me when I pulled away, he got finished doing what he was doing, and I kind of just pulled back and he said,\u00a0<strong>\u2018Come on man, I heard you liked me<\/strong>.\u2019 And that phrase stayed with me because I kept thinking what I might\u2019ve said and I can\u2019t remember exactly if he said \u2018i thought\u2019 or \u2018I heard\u2019 but he implied that I had done this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Reade then went on to say that \u201ceverything shattered in that moment\u201d because she knew that there were no witnesses and she looked up to him. \u201cHe was like my father\u2019s age,\u201d she said. \u201cHe was like this champion of women\u2019s rights in my eyes and I couldn\u2019t believe it was happening. It seemed surreal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reade then said Biden grabbed her by the shoulders and said, \u201cYou\u2019re okay. You\u2019re fine\u201d and proceeded to walk away.<\/p>\n<p>Reade said that Biden also told her something after the alleged assault that she initially didn\u2019t want to share because \u201c<strong>it\u2019s the thing that stays in my head over and over<\/strong>.\u201d But after some pressing from Halper, Reade decided to share:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<strong>He took his finger. He just like pointed at me and said you\u2019re nothing to me<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Halper said she spoke with Reade\u2019s brother and close friend, and both of them recall Reade telling them about the alleged assault at the time. &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/newsone.com\/3917043\/tara-reade-joe-biden-sexual-assault-accuser-breaks-silence\/\">NewsOne<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This is a story that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ReadeAlexandra?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ReadeAlexandra<\/a> has been trying to tell since it happened in 1993.
