Herman Cain Could Be Described as a 'Monster,' Accuser Says (Karen Kraushaar tells ABC News)
ABC News ^ | 11/09/2011 | Brian Ross

Posted on 11/09/2011 10:38:52 AM PST by SeekAndFind

Hours after being publicly identified as one of several women to accuse Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment, civil servant Karen Kraushaar told ABC News that Cain could be described as a "monster."

Kraushaar said overnight she had attempted to dodge the media spotlight because she feared retaliation from Cain supporters. Her identity was revealed Tuesday and she has since hired a security team to guard her home outside Washington, D.C.

Last week, Kraushaar's attorney Joel Bennett said his client had reported a "series" of incidents involving Cain when she worked in the communications department of the National Restaurant Association and where Cain served as CEO in the late 1990s. She now works as a spokesperson for the Inspector General at the Internal Revenue Service. Bennett said his client had "preferred" not to be identified but did not want to try to "control the media."

Bennett said he did not want to characterize "what was physical and what was verbal," but that Cain's behavior "qualified as sexual harassment in our opinion." "Mr. Cain knows the specifics," he said. Kraushaar left the NRA after receiving a reported $45,000 settlement.

Cain, however, has strongly denied any wrongdoing with Kraushaar or any of the other three woman who have accused him of misconduct.

"They were found to be baseless and she could not find anyone to corroborate her story," Cain said of Kraushaar's claims Tuesday.

She must be doing pretty well if she can afford to hire a Security team.

A Monster? Hardly.

A monster would have jerked her britch’s off and done the dirty for her.

Herman didn’t even come close, even if her accusation’s are true, which I doubt.

If he were such a monster, she should have NOT settled with the NRA for what amounted to a mere separation pay. She should have pursued him to the full extent of the law.

Ah, once again no specifics. Don’t these morons realize the stories are more damaging with actual details? This non-story keeps getting goosed by the MSM.

BTW, didn’t the HR department of the NRA investigate her claims then and found it to be baseless?

I’ve seen an article on here showing that she has had “sexual harassment” issues in other places she has worked. Looks very suspicious to me.

Isn’t this one where Cain said he gestured that she was the same height as his wife? If so, I believe that he said that her charges were found to be baseless during the investigation, and she was then given an employment separation settlement.

Yeah. MONSTER!!!

Yes, they did but, IMO, she’s just trying to milk this situation because she knows the lapdog media will lap it up like the leftist tools they are.

Monster
Pathalogical Liar

The two know accusers have thrown these two lines out about Cain today. Generally, when people resort to this type of language in a debate, they do so because they are losing.

We had a assaulter and rapist liar as president and now moronic charges that have no standing.
