That right there proves this lady is a liar. Someone tries to assault you, and you let that person DRIVE YOU HOME?? Yeah that makes sense, hey you tried to force my face into your pants but hey, can you give me a ride home LOL
Yeah the ride home proves she didn’t see him as a threat. In fact her own tale claims she said stop and he did. She came to see him they had dinner and i presume drinks and maybe in his poor weak wine-soaked judgment at the moment thought she was giving him the green light. Even in that not-proven scenario how is any of this relevant in 2011????
My wife and I watched the interview. It seems pretty straightforward to us.
I’m assuming that it happened as she said. It’s what she didn’t say that is important. She was giving off all the signals that she was “available.” She made lots of mistakes. It started by accepting the hotel room after you heard he upgraded her. It continued with drinks and dinner.
If she were a professional woman she would have said right at the beginning, no thank you. I am looking for a reference, that’s all. She could have made that perfectly clear without accepting drinks, dinner, etc.
He made an unwanted advance. Who knows how flirtatious she was acting to get a “recommendation.” He could have misread her and obviously did. But the moment she was direct and clear, he stopped.
This was not harassment or assault. It’s the result of an over-sexed society. If it’s true, I’m disappointed that Cain acted this way, but not surprised. But its certainly nothing worth the attention its getting. This isn’t even close to anything like Juanita Brodderick.
Or maybe it just proves the “victim” didn’t take it as an assault, but just as an unwanted pass. Or a provoked pass that she then rejected.
Anyway, she says her response to the alleged act was, “You know I have a boyfriend!”
As if otherwise, hey, cool.
Clearly, she was neither offended, nor traumatized, nor scandalized by this alleged incident.
Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be extremely disappointed in Mr. Cain if he were engaging in this sort of conduct. But this woman’s own statement, and the fact that she never made a complaint to the NRA, does not support the “outrage” she says she feels now, over a decade later.
