On May 1, 2020 the New Hampshire state Rep. Richard Komi (D) tweeted the following:
The purpose of Komi’s tweet was to dismiss Tara Reade’s sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden. From the social media trend, many people/media are misinterpreting what Komi meant. They think that this was just an ignorant chauvinist comment. But it isn’t; it was a well-crafted and executed Biden PR move.
If you analyze the tweet, what Komi is insinuating is that due to the female anatomy, Biden couldn’t perform this act by force unless, that is, Reade allowed him to do it. So, in essence, Biden is not denying that this took place but is arguing through Komi that it wasn’t an assault but a consensual act.
As for why would Biden choose Komi, an unknown state representative from New Hampshire, as the messenger? The Biden team likely believed that because Komi was a black Nigerian refugee, he belonged to a protected class and thus was untouchable. Any attempt to attack his statement or his credibility would be interpreted as racist and xenophobic. In the worst-case scenario, he could also invoke the ‘cultural’ ignorance argument.
This whole Komi affair is a staged misdirection. Komi’s role in this act was to absorb some of the kinetic energy from the Reade explosion and shield Biden from further damage.
