A few moments ago we told you how Stacey Abrams got busted using totally bogus talking points provided by the Biden campaign alleging that the New York Times had investigated the allegations by Tara Reade and found nothing:
Here's Buzzfeed catching @JoeBiden's campaign falsely telling surrogates that @nytimes did a "thorough review" of Tara Reade's allegations & found that "the incident did not happen."
And then here's @staceyabrams repeating those FALSE talking points verbatim on @CNN last night. pic.twitter.com/fNA5mPMhTx
