In recent weeks it has come to light that Herman Cain has been involved in sexual harassment allegations. This is a clear "he said, she said" case, and the truth remains unknown. While these are serious allegations, Cain refuses to take them seriously. At first he denied even knowing about the allegations, then he remembered but was shady about the details. He's clearly hiding something.
Yesterday on the morning news I listened to Cain's newest accuser, Sharon Bialek. She stated that while looking for a job, she was groped by Cain in a car. When she protested he said "You want a job, right?" This is a clear, cut and dry case of sexual harassment. Cain allegedly put his hand up her skirt, and attempted to force Bialek's head toward his own crotch.
Cain's campaign has since labelled her a chronically in debt woman who is desperate for money. This is a sad attempt at deflecting responsibility. Cain should own up to his mistakes, try to make things and move on. This leaves American wondering how much longer the Cain campaign can carry on before self-destructing. If more women come forward it would speed up this campaign's demise.
