Trump has also faced several sexual assault accusations, including columnist E. Jean Carroll, who accused him of raping her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s, but he has strongly denied the allegations.
"Let me just say this to you having once been a part of the Republican party. The right isn't running an intellectually honest operation to get to the bottom of whether Tara Reade was victimized. The right is running a smear campaign against Joe Biden," Wallace opined.
"The right wants to create some sort of equal playing field on which Donald Trump's more than two dozen, or nearly two dozen accusers sort of have some company on the other side," she added.
"The right is not running the same operation that the Democrats are running which is to try to ... have some consistency around statements that I think just about every elected Democrat has made about women in the context of the #MeToo movement," she also said.
