Herman Cain today said that Sharon Bialek, the first woman to publicly accuse the GOP presidential candidate of sexual harassment, is a liar and that he never acted inappropriately with her.
“I have had nothing but the utmost respect for any and all women as well as those who have worked under my leadership,” Cain told ABC News’ Jonathan Karl in the ABC News/Yahoo Newsmakers interview. “I can categorically say I have never acted inappropriately with anyone, period. And as far as these latest charges… I reject all of those.”
Cain said the charges are “baseless” and “bogus” and that the accusations are an attempt from his opponents to derail his candidacy.
“When I first saw her [Bialek]… I didn’t even recognize her,” Cain said.
This is Cain’s only media appearance today before his scheduled press conference later, where he will respond to new allegations of sexual harassment.

Show off the goods, slut.
Do you do A to M too?
Which woman has accused him of having sex?
Oops... presser is in an two hours.
If it is, then every man who ever made a pass at a woman is guilty.
Former senator Rick Santorum called the accusation “very troubling.”
Just gotta get your 2 cents in, eh Rick?
Cain is set to hold a news conference in Scottsdale, Ariz., at 3 p.m. PT/5 p.m. ET to address the allegations by Bialek and three other women, dating from his tenure as head of the National Restaurant Association.
He again called Bialek’s accusations “baseless” and said his wife, Gloria, has been upset by the accusations that were first reported by Politico on Oct. 30.
After watching Bialek’s news conference on Monday, Cain told ABC this afternoon that his wife of 43 years said “that doesn’t even sound like you.”
In other developments, a lawyer for Karen Kraushaar confirmed to USA TODAY his client’s identity as one of Cain’s three other accusers. The communications director at the U.S. Treasury Department had confirmed her identity earlier in the day to NPR.
Two large clues.
She is having too much fun for this to be a ‘traumatic’ experience.
With all of her reported financial problems - seems to me she is not at all troubled.
If she had any credibility she would quietly leave the stage and shut up. How much more is left to say?
You might as well cover all the bases. Who knows what will come next out of the woodwork.
Filthy political bedbugs and night crawlers. YIKES!!!
Boobs hanging out, and a sh!t-eating grin on her face!!
Don’t forget that Bialek is actually accuser #2...
She called Bennett...
Odd how you refuse to live by your own sign on.
Behavior like this is one of the reasons the GOP may just finish 3rd in 2012 behind both the Democrat and the Tea Party
She said, he said...
... drip drip drip...
EXACTLY what YOU said.....ANY man who has EVER made a pass at a woman is NOW a Harasser according to the feminazi’s and Dems....and some in the GOP....like someone else here suggested...time to put women in Burkha’s...
Assault and Harassment are two very different things.
yep, drip drip drip as the GOP machine helps dig it’s own grave.
1/3 of the Tea Party all ready distrusts the GOP, the GOP bots helping pimp the smear against their candidate of choice is not helping assuage those suspicions
Accusation and Fact are also two very very different things
I feel bad for Mrs. Cain she had no idea what she was getting into when Herman decided to run for POTUS.
Just another gut feeling, supported by nothing more than intuition...
Her photo reminds me of the most sociopathic woman I’ve ever known, a woman who carelessly destroyed two marriages and an entire church community. Just a feeling.
Cain is being treated to the full Alinsky. They are trying to destroy him with his own values. For that reason alone I’m still standing with the man.
