→Rape
There was something he said that I didn't want to say. And I didn't want to say it because it's the thing that stays in my head over and over. Like, um, it's the thing that kind of stayed with me over the years. But he said, when he got me against the wall after I pulled away. And he said, "Hey, I heard you liked me". I knew he was angry right after he took his finger, he just like pointed at me and he said. "You're nothing to me". And he just looked at me, he goes "You're nothing. Nothing." And then I must have reacted and I think he only said it twice. I just heard the word "nothing" and, and I must have reacted, because that's when he took me by the shoulders and he said "You're okay. You're fine. You're okay." <br>

But then afterwards, like it kept replaying in my head there, like last April [2019] when all that stuff came out. I got really, really sad about it. And the thing that I remember most, almost more than the assault itself was, just being told that I was nothing. And he was right. That's how people treated me. And I have no platform. So people want to know why women don't come forward, that's a good example.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbN70w4bHHI</ref>}}

==Corroborating evidence==
The same month she was fired, Reade's mother called ''[[Larry King|Larry King Live]]''. The phone call begins:
{{Quotebox|'''KING:''' San Luis Obispo, California, hello.<br>
'''CALLER:''' Yes, hello. I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington? My daughter has just left there, after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him.<br>
'''KING:''' In other words, she had a story to tell but, out of respect for the person she worked for, she didn’t tell it?<br>
'''CALLER:''' That’s true.<br>}}
“These are the people who do come to the Lois Romanos right?” King says to his ''[[Washington Post]]'' guest. “The staff worker who says, ‘I want to let you know what’s going on; either with my boss or the guy down the hall.'”
“‘This is going on and I’m troubled,'” Romano tells King. Then Romano says, “and a lot of these people have a sense of obligation. They feel that this public official should be accountable if it’s something wrong.”
“They’re [[whistleblower]]s to the press?” King asks.
“Exactly,” Romano agrees.<ref>https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/new-evidence-appears-to-corroborate-tara-reades-sexual-assault-claim-against-joe-biden-video/</ref>
