Earlier we told you about Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s NPR interview during which she was asked about the Tara Reade allegation against Joe Biden. AOC’s response was to say that Reade’s allegation is “not clear cut” and that her motivation is unclear (for example, Reade “never explicitly said ‘don’t support Biden”).
‘Well, there you go’! AOC notes Tara Reade has ‘never explicitly said ‘don’t support Joe Biden’ after her ‘not clear cut’ allegations https://t.co/6pBEtw3yDE

GOP Rapid Response Director Steve Guest followed that up with a thread AOC now vs. AOC then, and it’s a double standard-palooza:

AOC again: "Conyers endorsing his son after resigning in a sexual assault scandal & Harry Reid propping up @RepKihuen– himself mired in sexual scandal – are prime examples of how powerful men maintain a dangerous status quo." https://t.co/CRYH8ZRscV pic.twitter.com/r3dhGHxWib

We won’t hold our breath waiting for those in the media who interview AOC to confront her with her own quotes and tweets from just a couple years ago.
