Yep.
I don’t doubt Politico’s story that a couple of female employees claimed harassment of some sort and quit after settling for 5-figure settlements (10,000-99,000).
However, in the low five figures even a bogus claim will often be paid to avoid the publicity of a lawsuit plus the costs of defending the matter.
I don’t even actually doubt that a couple of female employees didn’t like something Cain said or did to them, and that it might have had sexual overtones.
But until there are specific accusers actually accusing him of something that should disqualify him, such as attempted rape, inappropriate touching in the workplace, cornering them in a secluded place and attempting to make out with them, etc., I’m discounting this as two (or more) women who chose to hold Cain to the strictest standard of behavior, and who got paid off for doing so. And believe me, if we Republicans start only electing people who have always abided by some people’s strictest standard of behavior, we will be out of candidates and liberals will own the day (for the obvious reason that their standards of behavior are pretty much non-existent.)
