Herman Cain: Accuser Sharon Bialek is a Liar

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.

Assault and Harassment are two very different things.

And suggesting sex is neither.

I’m thinking it’s just fat, not silicone. But, I could be wrong...

Thanks for the presser times!!!

5 PM ET!!!

>>Don’t forget that Bialek is actually accuser #2...

She called Bennett...<<

Actually, I think she’s the third woman, the one that left him a call on his answering machine, and when he called back she decided not to pursue it. He said today that her name was Sharon and she called from a Chicago area code.

#3 is, I believe, usually referred to as “the woman reported by AP” or some such, rather than reported by Bennett.

Perhaps she called Allred in between leaving the message and Bennett getting back to her, and got a better offer...?

She's having quite the party for herself!

Tea Party photo taken 1 month ago. What woman would stand next to and embrace a man she accuses of sexual harassment? Doesn't make sense - didn't happen!



OMG look at me!



Maybe I'll get a reality show? How's my smile?

Yes, should be #3. She was #3 and #4 in the media, I think. She’s actually just #3.

[Proud2BeRight]

She reminds me of an older version of that White House party crasher woman, Salahi.

[Raycpa]

There's just something about a woman with her boobs hanging out accusing someone of sexual harassment that I just don't trust.

I'm wondering if she is the stalker type.

She reminds me so much of the femme-fatale on an episode of the closer:

The actress (Jennifer Coolidge) also played the mother on American Pie who bedded one of the kids.

Is it just me, or does she look absolutely INSANE in that first pic??????

Stand With Cain PETITION

I signed!!!

Yes some of the supposedly accusers may really be one of the same. Bialek may actually be one of Politco’s accuser who actually came out under the guidance of Alred. Politico will not bother and correct this because the more the number of accusers the more uncomfortable it gets for Herman. Until there are names and faces attached to each accuser, there is no way to determine if there really are that many women coming forward. So far there is one and her name is Bialek and things are looking very flimsy on her past and her story.

That dress isn’t going to work on George, honey...

STAND WITH HERMAN CAIN AGAINST THE SMEAR CAMPAIGNS BEING WAGED AGAINST HIM

[itsahoot]

How will America ever find good people to run for public office after this?

Why should that change now? </sarcasm>

[Cyber Liberty]

Unless Cain actually said the word “liar,” this is an inaccurate headline, written as a schoolyard taunt. “Are ya callin’ me a ‘liar,’ you yellow-bellied coward!”

[itsahoot]

She reminds me so much of the femme-fatale on an episode of the closer:

Maybe she will be just as stupid, though that would be pretty hard. That was a funny episode, one of my favorites.
