Very logical question but it’s what people are doing here.
This fervor for Cain has become almost religious in nature.
While knowing almost nothing about these women, they have been crucified.
All I’ve heard is that one of them was 23 and one has been married 26 years which sounds like a stable person to me.
People here act like these women are trying to take Cain down as a political candidate.
One, he was not in politics when this happened and no one thought he ever would be.
Two, there were complaints about him that led to two women leaving their jobs (quit or fired - we don’t know - or maybe paid to leave). They seem to have been given the equivalent of a year’s salary to leave.
I’ve seen a lot of laughing at the paltry sums, but I’ve worked for paltry sums like that and a year’s salary is a princely sum to people making that amount.
It’s ok to stick up for Cain if you love him, but why attack the women? Even if it turns out their complaints were petty, do they deserve being called the names they are called here.
I do not believe either of them will come forward. I wouldn’t if this is a preview of the treatment they will receive.
From the initial reports, which I did not read, it was my understanding that the complaints were just small stuff anyway. I don’t recall anyone claiming that either of those women complained of anything really bad.
With this being released, it was clear that just the fact the complaints were made at all, and the fact that settlements were payed out, was what they intended to have do the harm to Cain.
His camp wanted to put the heat onto the women in order to take the focus off of those two simple facts. Fair enough, but only if they were the ones that leaked the info initially to Politico. But Cain then turns and blames Perry for “leaking” this, all the time admitting he has NO proof of such a thing, he just feels there are “breadcrumbs”.
If those two women had nothing to do with Politico being tipped off, then the focus on them is misplaced. So, they filed minor complaints twelve years ago, signed their agreements, and never went public afterwards.
Double standards.
