Joe Biden got away with groping more than once if you believe women like you’re supposed to. But the media are as uninterested in the latest allegation about the Democat presidential candidate’s groping as they were Tara Reade’s.
Reade, recall, is the former Biden staffer who says the former vice president sexually assaulted her in 1993..
But another allegation, the Washington Examiner reported on Wednesday, has been sitting in plain sight for two years and no one seems to have noticed. Kim Donohue, wife of the transit cop wounded in a shoot-out with the Boston Marathon bombers, says Biden groped her.
And he offered some unwelcome commentary about her good looks.
Donohue leveled the charges in two Facebook posts.
Media response? Crickets.

The Allegation
The media won’t likely pursue the claim. It wants Biden, which really means running mate Kamala Harris, in the White House.
But it’s out there nonetheless, thanks to the Examiner:
In two Facebook posts, one of which has since been deleted, Kim Donohue alleged that during a remembrance ceremony in Boston, a year after the April 2013 deadly bombing, then-Vice President Biden began “rubbing” her lower back.
“Look at those eyes, where did you get those eyes?” Donohue wrote. “Anyone else as good looking as you in that family … those eyes are mesmerizing, people must just do whatever you say.”
In a separate post, this one made in July 2016, Donohue reiterated her claim that Biden “greeted me by rubbing my back in an inappropriate and uncomfortable way” then “pushed” her husband, Dic Donohue, who was shot in the leg by one of the Tsarnaev brothers, aside.
Then Biden’s ham-handed approach worsened. If her husband hadn’t been there, Biden might have asked her to watch the submarine races in Boston Harbor:
Biden then asked if I wanted to ride in a car with him down to a ceremony we were all attending at the Marathon finish line. He led me down a black hallway (Dic of course followed) and I got inside the most uncomfortable 3 person car ride I have ever been in.
Dononhue wouldn’t discuss the matter with the Examiner’s reporters but did confirm writing the posts.
But “an individual close to Donohue said her politics have shifted since the Obama years, and she is now supportive of the Democratic Party and Biden’s candidacy,” the Examiner reported.
That doesn’t change what Donohue reported on Facebook.
“I couldn’t get out of that car fast enough, I practically dove into the pavement,” she wrote.
Past Allegations
Donohue’s accusations comport with those of Biden’s other victims, including D.J. Hill, who told the New York Times that Biden molested her in front of her husband during a photo opportunity.
“When she and her husband, Robert, stepped up to take their photograph with the vice president,” the Times reported, “he put his hand on her shoulder and then started dropping it down her back, which made her ‘very uncomfortable.’”
Hill’s husband, the Times reported, interrupted the patented Biden back brush.
The well-documented groping, fetishistic sniffing, and Eskimo kissing aside, Biden apparently thinks the wives of other men are fair game.
After all, the Daily Mail reported, Biden stole his wife Jill from another man who helped get Biden elected to the Senate and gave his first campaign more than $10,000 in cash.
That’s another story the media ignored.
As for Reade’s accusation of felony assault, the media weren’t much interested. After some obligatory questions and an uncomfortable interview or two, they dropped the story.
In late March, Reade claimed that Biden pinned her against a wall.
“It happened all at once … his hands were on me and underneath my clothes…. He went down my skirt but then up inside it, and he penetrated me with his fingers…. He was kissing me at the same time.”
Biden reacted furiously when Reade rejected him: “You’re nothing to me,” he told me. “Nothing.”
At least six people corroborated her story.
Frighteningly, top feminists on Capitol Hill say they believe Reade, but will vote for Biden anyway.
Martin Tolchin, the hard-left founder of Politico and The Hill, doesn’t care about Reade.
“I don’t want justice” for Reade, he wrote in a letter to the Times, because an investigation might reveal that Biden did what she said he did, which would end the Left’s only hope for unseating Trump.
