Maybe it’s not just an unbelievable coincidence that so many major MAGA players are such devoted fans of Russia.

Over and over, delivered straight in proud and unequivocal statements, the closer the MAGA supporter to Trump, the stronger their devotion to Russia.

Tara Reade, the woman who once falsely accused President Biden of sexual assault, announced her plans to defect to Russia on Russian state television on Tuesday afternoon.

The number of Trump ties to Russia is impossible to track. Reade first made her false accusations in 2019 and added many details in October 2020, according to the Daily Beast. 

Despite the cheers of MAGA supporters and their conviction that Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia was a “hoax,” the special counsel criminally charged Russians with helping the Trump campaign.

Additionally, the Republican Senate Intelligence Committee report established that Trump’s then-campaign advisor, Paul Manafort, worked directly with Russian intelligence operatives.

Manafort handed internal secret campaign documents on micro-areas within critical states to someone tied to Russian intelligence.

Now, the woman who sought to bring President Biden down with a devastating accusation has proven her Russian connection.

And from Politico, a 2020 report on the false accusation:

“As part of an investigation into Reade’s allegations against Biden — charges that are already shaping the contours of his campaign against a president who has been accused of sexual assault and misconduct by multiple women — POLITICO interviewed more than a dozen people, many of whom interacted with Reade through her involvement in the animal-rescue community.”

In October 2020, just prior to the election, Reade said that she worked for Biden in 1993 and that he pushed her against a wall and used his hands to sexually assault Reade, according to a 2020 report in People Magazine from an interview conducted by Megyn Kelly.

A follow-up Tampa Bay Times fact check reported the accusation to be false.

Reade cited no contemporaneous evidence, told no one at the time, and continued to work for then-Senator Biden during the period, speaking highly of him for years.

The Politico report linked above dove deeply into Reade’s past, and her short time with Biden was a constant theme with the many people she met.

Almost all interviewed had negative things to say about her, “You can use these words: manipulative, deceitful, user. Looking back at it all now, that is exactly how I view her and how I feel about her,” Kelly Klett, an attorney who rented a room to Reade in 2018, said.

“She has a problem,” said Lynn Hummer,  another landlord who owns a horse sanctuary where Reade volunteered in 2014, who then described Reade as, “very clever, manipulative. … I do think she’s a liar.”

If Russia or the Trump campaign were looking for a person to make a sexual assault allegation, Reade would certainly fit the type to agree to such a plan, despite the horrid background.

The Daily Beast reported on Tuesday:

“The shocking confession was made during a Russian state press conference, where Reade was sitting next to alleged Kremlin spy—and pal—Maria Butina. Reade told the pro-Putin press the “very difficult” decision to move came after the realization that she no longer feels safe in Biden’s America.”

But many on Twitter were not the least bit shocked:
