In 2019, Ashley Biden, the then 37-year-old daughter of President Biden and his wife Jill, wrote in her journal about showering with her father at an inappropriate age as well as her fears that, as a child, she was sexually abused.
What Has Happened?
After undergoing treatment in rehab, Ashley moved to a halfway house in Florida, where she left the diary under a mattress.
The diary, which also contained details of her drug use, was then found in 2020 by a Florida woman who stole it, leaked its contents online, and sold it for $40,000.
All that time, the Biden campaign let the left-wing media, of its own volition, cast aspersions on the diary’s authenticity, or dismiss it as a right-wing plant of dubious veracity, another Russia hoax. Just as with Hunter Biden‘s laptop.
Turns out both are all too real.
For the first time, Ashley herself has now confirmed – in a court document made public last month – that the diary is indeed authentic.
Its contents demand attention, concern and hard questions for this White House.
‘Hyper-sexualized @ a young age,’ Ashley writes in a July 2019 entry. ‘What is this due to? Was I molested. I think so —’
Note the period instead of a question mark. One wonders if there wasn’t really a doubt in Ashley’s mind.
She continues: ‘I can’t remember specifics but I do remember trauma… I remember somewhat being sexualized with [her first cousin] Caroline; I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate); being turned on when I wasn’t suppose [sic] to be.’
Showers with my dad.
Ashley also wrote, in the same diary, that she was in treatment for ‘sexual trauma’.
Last month, the New York Times reported that the woman who stole Ashley’s diary was sentenced to time in prison.
Did the Times cover what was actually in the diary? Not one bit. Not even a hint of its incendiary contents.
Instead, they led with the thief’s ‘brazen scheme to steal the diary of President Biden’s daughter and sell it to a right-wing group in the hope of disrupting the 2020 election’.
Linked within this story was a letter written by Ashley, who in fairness has never asserted the diary was a fake (unlike Hunter and his laptop).
Her letter, dated April 8 and addressed to the trial judge, confirms the diary’s legitimacy.
‘My personal private journal,’ she writes, ‘was stolen and sold for profit… I will forever have to deal with the fact that my personal journal can be viewed online.’
The theft is indeed terrible. But so, too, is what Ashley’s diary entries might imply.
In one passage, she writes that her childhood ‘hyper-sexualization’ extended to ‘beating my vagina due to overhearing parents having sex’.
In trying to determine the root causes of her sex addiction, Ashley lists the following:
‘ — my mother not emotionally available’
‘— my father was — message — I could get love from men.’
‘— “I’m not your mother”‘
‘— Blanket being taken away’
‘— Not letting myself go to bathroom’
‘— Being wiped until too late in the game’
While this list itself isn’t necessarily the most cogent passage from the diary, collectively this all raises serious questions for Dr. Jill and Grandpa Joe, with his repeated hair-sniffing and shoulder-rubbing of women and young girls.
Joe, with the multiple allegations, by at least eight women, of unwanted touching or worse.
Here’s his former senate staffer Tara Reade, largely dismissed by the media during the 2020 election cycle, in March of that year:
‘I remember he just had me up against the wall and the wall was cold. 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…when he got finished doing what he was doing and I pulled back and he said, “Come on, man. I heard you liked me”.’
Reade continues: ‘For me it was like everything, everything shattered in that moment. I looked up to him . . . he was this champion of women’s rights in my eyes.’
That’s what they used to say about the late Democratic senator Ted Kennedy: Iffy with women in his personal life, but great at legislating for them.
Biden has denied Reade’s allegations. A New York Times report found that Reade told two friends and her brother about details of the alleged assault before she revealed it publicly, but no other former Biden staff members could corroborate her claims.
