Around the time of the Kavanaugh confirmation hearing, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand was fully on board the “believe women” movement when it came to accusations against the SCOTUS nominee:
Women are watching as the most powerful people in this country disbelieve, distrust and minimize their experiences.
We need to answer this: Are we a country that values women? Do we believe women when they tell us about sexual trauma? Do the stories of survivors matter to us?

This is a fight for every woman who has ever been disbelieved, disregarded, distrusted, and devalued for coming forward and daring to speak the truth.
Keep on fighting. And do not forget that November is coming. #CancelKavanaugh pic.twitter.com/BZnS7uDKsO

I will never stop fighting for survivors of sexual assault. When you tell your stories, we’ll amplify your voices. We will achieve the justice and accountability you deserve. We will never give up. We will never give in.

Fast forward the tape to May of 2020 and Tara Reade’s allegation against Joe Biden:

If you’re keeping score at home, “believe women” has been put on hold!
Believe *all women.

As we’ve seen, there are exceptions to each Democrat rule.
10 years from now Gillibrand will say Biden should have dropped out of the race. https://t.co/UCRT149Ml5

Nice double standard, Sen. Gillibrand!
