#TaraReade accused a man of abusive behavior, then came back with a new version of the story in which her allegations became drastically more lurid and extreme.
The man wasn't Joe Biden; it was her ex-husband. See my new story at @Quillette https://t.co/wpgYPzCY3K

Very excited for my first @washingtonpost byline! Thank you #yanggang for making all things possible

The fuller context on Tara Reade’s flirtation with Russian nationalism is pretty https://t.co/PiwGy3SOnu pic.twitter.com/3nKMZiSSui
