Wilson declined to say specifically what Cain said or did to the woman, but that the CEO’s actions made other individuals at the table uneasy.”
Once again, it’s an unnamed woman, completely unspecified actions, “gestures” or remarks, and apparently they were so horrible that no charges were ever filed, no complaint made, and nobody else has ever come forward until now…even though it supposedly happened more than a decade ago.
This article says: “no complaint made”
Women 1 and 2 are the ones who DID make a complaint.
Therefore, this was woman #3.
There might be some link other than this article that clears this up. I’m not saying I’m the expert.
What I think I see are 4 women
Woman 1, Woman 2 - these women got money from the Restaurant Association. Cain was no longer at the Restaurant Association when these women got the money. We don’t know anything about why these women got this money. We do know it has something to do with Cain and allegations of sexual harassment. This was the original Politico story, and people don’t know how Politico got this story. What woman 1 and woman 2 have to say is relevant, as at least the restaurant association took them seriously enough to pay them some money. It doesn’t mean their charges are true, or are indicative of the nature of the charges, but until they answer, this will continue to hang over Cain’s head, to some degree.
Woman 3 - It appears that Perry’s Wilson is the only person talking about Woman 3. Perry’s Wilson tells a story of a dinner in a restaurant where Perry’s Wilson said Cain behaved badly. I think that’s all we know about Woman 3. Perry’s Wilson could easily just be making up Woman 3.
Woman 4 - was the woman from earlier today with Allred.
I could be wrong on any of those details, and would be interested in links to clarify especially about Woman #3 - Restaurant Woman. Who else but Perry’s Wilson has been talking about Woman #3?
I’ll say one more thing, but first admit I certainly am not certain of the facts; I really would rather stay out of the whole thing.
But the 3rd woman is not “made up”; AP has interviewed her, and gotten a story from her. She could be making it up, but she “exists” in that sense.
I understand what you are saying about the “no complaint made” sounding like it isn’t #1 or #2; although that could be an error, or it could mean the complaint made wasn’t about this incident, but another one. So far as I can tell, #3 spoke about a hotel invite, NOT a restaurant dinner; so far as I can tell, the only one talking the dinner is Wilson. Another attendee at the dinner said he saw nothing, so it could be that Wilson WAS talking about #1 or #2, but that what he describes the woman didn’t think was an issue and didn’t report.
I don’t want to sound like I’m defending Wilson. I’ve consistantly said his jumping into this was sleazy, and only argued that he didn’t give the original story to politico. I also don’t think his participation was a “campaign” decision. He is “associated” with Perry, but through a contracting relationship. He’s definitely a Perry supporter, but I don’t blame candidates for what their supporters do. Perry can’t fire him from the company Wilson runs, or do anything about the independent PAC.
I would have liked to have seen Perry say something about Wilson — but in his defense, that same time we had Cain and Block attacking Kurt Anderson, who actually was a worker for the Perry campaign, and that charge was later withdrawn, and Perry was probably smart to stay completely out of this mess.
Sorry to go on so....
There's strong speculation that woman #4 is ALSO woman #2.
There's thin accusation, but it's in an echo chamber.
