Cain always has three responses. He makes a claim the first day, the second day he says it was a joke, and the third day he flips and says, “I’m not backing away from that”.
Because he’s done that so often I have little faith in what he says and many others say the same. As to the women, this is the 4th woman to speak out - after they were exposed by others. Most women would not want the harassment speaking out brings.
So, I don’t know. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. This last woman’s claim should be easier to verify or refute. She said he flew her places to meet with him and gave her gifts and money. None of us know all of the truth yet.
Remember how Paula, Gennifer and the others were vilified?
Gee, how many more weeks are you willing to give these people to produce some fire? Here we are, about four weeks into this thing, and we still have *zero* evidence anything nefarious occurred.
Don't you find it at all odd that still not one hotel manifest, restaurant receipt, Hallmark card, or anything else has surface to actually substantiate an allegation?
