So on one side we have rumor, innuendo and gossip.
On the other we have a complete denial backed up with corroborating testimony
Can we expect the smear merchants to proved even ONE shred of evidence to back up their accusations?
No of course not.
Guilty until proven innocent is the Establishement's standard when you are a Conservative leader like Cain.
Umm, well, there were definitely 2 sexual harassment claims made against Cain during his time at the NRA. There really is no disputing that. There were payouts in both cases. One Cain knew of, one he might not have known about - but the fact that there were 2 settlements is not in dispute. Did you think this “sleazy political trick” began in the 90’s? Do you think these 2 women somehow knew Cain was going to run for President and set him up all those years ago? Seriously?
What is much more likely is Cain is a forward type of person who is flirtatious with the girls on his staff. It is not unusual behavior, and he very well have meant absolutely nothing by it. Some people just have that personality. I’ve known female managers that were flirtatious as well. The 90’s opened the door to women filing harassment claims over innocent behavior, and it is possible that both of these complaints resulted in payouts even if Cain had done nothing more than being on the flirtatious side.
