On Tuesday, Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain held a press conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, and addressed allegations of sexual harassment while he was head of the National Restaurant Association from a fourth accuser who held her own on Monday.
Sharon Bialek alleges Cain made unwanted advances toward her and is the first to speak publicly about it and share her identity following three others who cited sexual harassment claims anonymously. According to Bialek, following a business dinner with Cain to discuss her job search as they sat in a parked car, he reached under her skirt and pulled her head toward his crotch.
Cain denied the allegations during his press conference, saying “I have never acted inappropriately with anyone, period”. He also addressed accusations by another woman, Karen Kraushaar, who went public on Tuesday and identified herself as one of the original women who claimed Cain had sexual harassed her. According to Cain, “It was treated as a personnel matter because there was no basis to her accusations.” Kraushaar was reportedly paid $45,000 after leaving her position. Cain added that the “Democrat machine in America has brought forth a troubled woman” to make these claims and that he would “vigorously defend [his] reputation”.
While Cain hasn’t suffered too much politically amid these claims, they certainly don’t help. His Positive Intensity Score remains higher than any other Republican candidate but is now ten points lower than his record high of 34. Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney follow with 14 and 10, respectively, and in a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, Cain and Romney are tied at 21 percent.
Cain visited Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday after viewing Bialek’s press conference and commented that his day had “got off to somewhat of a rough start” but “all things considered, I’m still alive”. Following Bialek’s press conference, Cain said he spoke to his wife who said “‘the things that that woman described, that doesn’t even sound like you, and I’ve known you for 45 years.’ My own wife said that I wouldn’t do anything as silly as what that lady was talking about because she does know me. I’ve been married for 43 years to the same woman, and I’m proud of it.”
Herman Cain’s Press Conference
i guess somebody did not check him self very well before deciding to Run for President.
He’s threw .
I don’t know if the 4th woman is being truthful. I actually don’t really believe her. But none of that has anything to do with why I don’t think he should be president. Herman Cain sit down.
I feel bad for his wife having to go through all of this mess. He should be smart for once and drop out.
Don`t drink the kool-aid people. This is nothing more than a test of psychology that the control media plays every so often. This carries with it a SUBLIMINAL message, against BLACK men, being that we are preying on WHITE women. It`s the King Kong mentality that they used Lebron James for last year on the cover of the magazine with the white woman that`s synomonous with the movie of the same title…message being that they have to continue their covert assault against black men to keep us from raping white women. This is what they are conveying to the white establishment. This is also what they did recently with Tiger Woods as well when they continually kept his escapades with white women in the news media after his infidelity. This kind of psychological test is displayed all the time through the mass media. These two tests are mainly for the white establishment while others such as The Clarence Thomas/Anita Hill and Mike Tyson and his black female accuser`s allegation of rape is for our benefit. The two latter cases are to influence the black women to abhor us, brothas, as we condemn these sistas for lying and trying to take a black man down, whereby, creating anomosity between the two genders that drive us farther apart. Have you noticed how they always use sex and murder in order to influence their white establishment when they want to convey certain messages in the news media involving certain high profile cases with black men? These subliminal messages are portrayed to the general public by The elites as they deem necessary and there are many messages. Now they are about to relaease a movie entitled J Edgar about former FBI director J Edgar Hoover. The subliminal message being, that, the government is about to raise the ante of espionage, imprisonment and even eliminating those they deem to be threats against the law of establishment. They are also about to start impliminating martial law as the streets in America begin to look more like a military occupation. They give us these messages all the time in advance so we`ll know what`s coming. The question is, “are we all listening or is there just a small minority that see with their third eye?
Peace
Whatever, black men are doing this free and clear, on their on will. No one is forcing them to do so, chase white women and vice versa. Tiger chooses to date white women only and he chose to whore around on his own. Again, black folk, black men especially need to take responsibility for their continued willing actions and fault no one but themselves. That conspiracy and slavery crap excuse is getting tired. When does personal responsibility show up? The only race of men that act this way against their own race. Other races of men are exposed to the same images of beauty but dont abandon their race to the extent of black men and then blame their own women for what they want to do anyway. Using black women as a coverup for their own superiority complex. Thinking they are too good now. Nothing a black man do is ever his responsibility- its the white man this and that and white man the reason why they are poor and jobless and commit crimes and are in jail… now its the black woman’s fault they date outside their race, nothing is never their own fault. Whoa is me excuse crap. They bring it on themselves and deserve the consequences. There is no way he is totally innocent, money changing hands, etc. As far as Clarence Thomas, what helped them get over it and still vote for him is that how can he be attracted to a black women for anything significant when he has the so called white prize that they know most successful black men drool over.
I do not like Herman Cain at all. Being that said, these bitches is lying there asses off. How convenient to wait a whole 12 years after the incident and wait until he runs for president to speak up.
I believe all those women because most black men, especially in power, chase after white women. Obama better not come out with that crap. He just need to admit it and say it was so long ago and he is a changed man now and that he paid for his actions and then question their motives after all this time. He’s talking about this is hurting his wife, but he wasnt caring about that then. I think he still has support because of the time lapse and folk just tired of women that come crawling out of the woodwork after so many years. He also has support because they think he will beat Obama. Anyone to beat Obama, it doesnt matter if he was a fresh dirty old man. I think some of these women led him on also, not all because back then and now, some men are so vulgar and I know how people can try to discredit you when most any harrassment claim is made on the job. When did he step down from that position and why?
