Unfortunately, in this interview it sounds like Cain is starting to hedge his answers. How hard is it for somebody to say "I never invited any woman to my hotel room......other than my wife, who usually turns me down."
I agree. I wish he would’ve said I never invited a women to the room or if he did for some other reason such as to discuss some topic in greater detail etc. He should’ve just said so. However we need to keep this in context. There are restrictions on nondisclosure aggreements. The last thing Cain wants is to give these women a legal reason to start making the talk show circuit. This still is a case of old allegations that were not found to have merit. He make have had a few too many drinks and would be embarassed to say that he jokingly said something stupid that was misunderstood. So then a new line to the story emerges etc.
Cain should’ve simple stuck to his denials of ever sexually harassing anyone and provided no further elaboration. That is what I would’ve advised.
I watched his explaination and I don’t think there was much ambiguity but I get the feeling we have another day of this crap to go through. The sentiment I see generally though is not anti-Cain outside the regular Rombots who are trying to play this as the Cain campaign is dead. I wouldnt be surprised if this helps Cain in the end. Any reasonable person sees this as an unfair and baseless attack. As long as it stays in that context he will be fine.
Au contraire.
the libs are in full panic mode to deflect news off the many scandals popping up daily - ANYthing to get them off the headlines.
I think even the OWS riots were planned for next year - but they had to pull it out early to deflect from Fast & Furious, Solyndra, Al Q taking over Libya, all the other outfits that got stimulus money going belly up (smells like a lot of money laundering>) etc.
They're in full cover up mode.
Cain used the term “In my opinion” appropriately. Whether one is offended by the words or actions of another is wholly arbitrary and subjective.
Anyone can claim to be offended by anything and they can file a complaint as these two women did. However it is my guess they were looking for a pay day and had Cain been a white main or had he not been “the boss” but simply a co worker nothing would have been said by them.
It’s perfectly reasonable to say he doesn’t remember. It was a long time ago and if it happened at all it was probably so insignificant and innocent that he truly does not remember.
If he said he did, but with some sort of disclaimer, and it turns out that the allegations do not include an invitation to a hotel room, they will scream LIAR! LIAR!
I’d rather have someone tell the truth that they don’t remember than to make something up to try to deflect further criticism.
There are some reasons why an invitation to a hotel room would be extended none of which include nefarious activity. Perhaps there were papers or documents they needed. And if you’re in a hotel and need to get some work done, there aren’t too many private places to do it.
The 90’s were rife with “sexual harassment” charges thanks to the Clintooon. These women probably had dollar signs in their eyes and they fact that they allegedly received “five figure” settlement tells me there was nothing to it, they were paid off to make a nuisance go away.
