Cain Campaign Manager: Not Aware Of Settlement Relating To Harassment Charges

video
» 117 comments

Herman Cain‘s campaign manager Mark Block appeared on MSNBC’s Daily Rundown today to rebut a recent Politico report that claimed that the GOP frontrunner was the subject of accusations of sexual harassment while he was head of the National Restaurant Association. Block clearly stated that he was “not personally aware of any cash settlement relating to sexual harassment charges to Mr. Cain,” when pressed by host Chuck Todd, who claimed he had his own sourcing on the settlement story.

While the Cain campaign has somewhat fumbled the response to these allegations, Block was very clear in his denial, in particular his clear statements that he has asked Herman Cain himself about these potential bombshell allegations. According to Block, Cain said to him emphatically, “when there is facts, bring them to me.” Block then quoted Cain as adding “let me face my accusers and we’ll deal with it then.”

While Cain may not have denied the reports, Block gave as clear cut a denial that we have seen from the campaign so far. Unfortunately for Cain, that’s not saying much. Block’s statements were carefully parsed, from saying that he “was not personally aware of any cash settlement relating to sexual harassment charges to Mr. Cain,” which leaves a bait shop’s worth of wiggle room, to his flat declaration that Cain “never sexually harassed anyone, period, end of story,” a declaration that, if Block is to be believed, the candidate himself has yet to make, and which Block carefully prefaced with the words, “Let me tell you.”

Mark Block is getting a lot of attention in the past few days, having been somewhat vilified for smoking a cigarette in a recent campaign ad. While not the sort of publicity he would have sought on his own, it’s the sort of the negative attention that his candidate Herman Cain is now receiving that predictably comes with being a frontrunner. While the harassment story will likely reveal itself over time, the secondary headline here is that no one appears to be taking Cain lightly, as the oppo research comes to light.

    “Sourcing for the settlement story”? O.K. Where are the financial records? Who are the accusers? Where are they?

    Last I heard Mark Block is NOT running for gNOpig candidate.

    So I want to hear what Cain 666 is going to say about HIS campaign manager.

    Don’t blame liberals for his behavior.  PS.  You compared him to Clarence Thomas…aka Long Dong Silver.

  • Chuck, Sacramento

    Its pretty disgusting, but also pretty normal for liberals.  Even a made up hint of being flirty is a huge scandal if you are conservative, but you can have actual misbehavior by a democrat and the only place you’ll ever hear of it is Fox News.    Over the weekend I heard several reports via xm radio where the apparently liberal reporters were all but asking for a woman to come forward and make these claims.  They don’t care who the women are, care even less if its true, they just want to put someone on TV to say they were injured by Cain’s behavior.   Meanwhile, in the 90′s the President was getting ‘serviced’ in the oval office – but they don’t want to talk about that…

    You want to see Obama’s birth certificate, and check his junk to see if he’s circumsized (that Muslim bullshit), but a story about a scandal in Can’t's ( I mean Cain’s) background is considere off limits. Damn you teabaggers are S-T-O-O-P-I-D ( spelle phonetically for you teabaggin’ home scoolers).

    “I really despise liberals . . . ”

    ~~~Block: “Cain Has Never Sexually Harassed Anybody, Period. End Of Story”~~~ RCP

    ~~~Cain Campaign Manager: Not Aware Of Cash Settlement Relating To Harassment Charges~~~Mediaite

    No difference whatsoever! /s
     

  • Ralph

    They are not charges.  They are complaints.  Unspecified complaints from alleged victims who remain anonymous. 

    Sexual harassment plaintiffs are not protected by rape shield laws in civil lawsuits.  The Politico story names about half a dozen people, but refuses to identify the plaintiffs for “privacy concerns.”  If the plaintiffs have a privacy right, doesn’t the alleged harasser, who admits to nothing and is publicly accused of nothing, also have privacy rights?  Or does the existence of resolved complaints void his or her privacy right?

    Sexual harassment is a sensational allegation.  I still don’t see how Politico justifies keeping the identities of the women anonymous and refusing to detail the conduct that led to the settlements.  I want to know their ages, their races, their jobs, their direct responsibility to Cain, and whether they’re de facto prostitutes or outright prostitutes (I know such has never been heard of in Washington, DC).  I can’t determine who is right until I know all the facts. 

    Why does Politico require that we supplant their judgment for our own?

  • http://gregingleright.weebly.com/ Greg

    The media are being overwhelmingly kind to Cain.  At this point all major networks are on the story, including Republican friendly Fox… yet all seem to be holding back in the hopes that the Cain campaign might organize a respectable response to a question he had to know was coming.  This just shows that far from ready for prime time… Cain is unable to piece together a simple pilot for those eager to produce his show.

    Perhaps a “respectful” response would be:

    3.  Why does anyone have to defend themselves over some vague (beyond stupid) allegations of 
    “well it wasn’t sexual but his hand actions made someone (who) uncomfortable?

    Cain never really sexually harassed anyone…he was simply trying to engage the women in a discussion of his 69-69-69 Plan.

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  • http://gregingleright.weebly.com/ Greg

    Each network is currently forming a version of the story.  Todd obviously spoke to Block with knowledge gleaned from his assorted contacts working the story.  Todd has information and questions he ignored…. he tossed a softball question so that Block could establish a defense (whether innocent or guilty a defense is needed at this point)… in essence a “How do you plead?”… the answer… “We need more time to decide”.  If Cain had any political acumen he would have prepared for this… understanding as he should that the Republican mainstream always decides the candidate… the Tea’s only used for fanatical energy.

    It’s a fact of life in any business today that you’ll get lawsuits. From disgruntled fired workers to con artists who know that insurance companies will settle whenever they can….regardless how ridiculous the complaint. In this case I look at the settlements, low five figures, that speaks volumes. These were crank cases paid to go away. If you were truly sexually harrassed by the head of the NRA, yor lawyer isn’t letting you fade away for five figures. A little reporting on how often these lawsuits come up would have been nice.

    Well so far this is typical as it seems nobody has really shown undeniable proof of what this or is not.comments coming from Cain ans his people suggest something is there but exactly what we don’t know.

    And most of all we do not yet know if whatever this is is enough to derail his campaign.

    But you know what?I hope it does.Cain has never been the likely candidate despite the sometimes good polls.He never would have survived the process to the point of the nomination.If this ends his run it clears up the situation and the focus will be Romney which will completely end the GOP guessing games and the Dems ability to capitalize on that.

    Once it clearly becomes Romney Versus Obama it becomes a real choice,real issues,real differences and a real choice for voters.

  • JimmyTrackScorn999

    If I may quote your catchphrase, Pablo: “You lie.” 

    You should stick to the facts, rather than wild accusations.  Name one time, just one time, that Barack Obama has mentioned how his personal faith involves hating white Americans.  When has Obama demonstrated his raging inferno of hatred and contempt for Caucasians?  You can’t.  It’s like when people said Bush was racist, or Clinton was a misogynist.  

    Instead of commenting on the many political and social issues where you passionately disagree with Obama, you end up looking like a lunatic.  Ranting about your discoveries of Obama’s evil, dark past.  Next, you will be saying he is the Antichrist.

    Rather than regurgitating half baked conspiracy theories, why don’t you stick to the facts.  Or, be funnier.

    From Politico…

    Karl Rove said Monday that Herman Cain has failed to properly respond to the POLITICO report that at least two women accused him of inappropriate behavior, saying he needs to say “yes or no.”
    “He’s
    not denying but he ain’t responding and that’s not the best place to
    be,” Rove said on Fox News. “If these allegations are not true, say they
    aren’t true and put it behind you. If not, better get everything out
    sooner rather than later because in a situation like this, if there is
    something there, that something’s going to come out.”
    Asked whether he considered the Cain campaign’s
    response to the allegations as sufficient, the former George W. Bush
    strategist answered “no,” criticizing the decision to evade questions
    about whether there were ever any financial settlements with the women.
    “I think Geraldo had it right last night — you simply can’t say go
    talk to the National Restaurant Association and refuse to answer the
    question, ‘Were there any monetary settlements involved in these
    things,’” Rove said, referring to Fox News host Geraldo Rivera’s phone interview
    with Cain spokesman J.D. Gordon Sunday night hours after the report was
    first published, in which Rivera repeatedly asked whether there had
    been any cash settlements.
    Rove added, “You can’t simply say go ask, go talk to somebody else.
    You either need to say yes or no. And if no, say no immediately. Say
    absolutely or not and get on with it. But if you’re sitting there saying
    go talk to somebody else, it’s not going to help you.”

    Politico claims, in their story, to have disclosed the name of one of the women to the Cain campaign. Herman Cain is named because that is what makes it a story. The story is about potential misconduct of Herman Cain. There is no journalistic reason to reveal the names of the women, who probably had nothing to do with the leaking of this story, at this point.

    Well, he still has a shot of getting nominated because he is not running against Democrats.

So Perry may have advantage to this story getting out at this time.

    “There is no journalistic reason to reveal the names of the women”  That’s a lie.  Let’s find out who they are and what they complained about.  It’s only fair.  Are they floozies who’d do anything in trousers provided they were white?  Were they women who actively supported Cain’s opposition in the election to lead the association?  Who are they?  What was their complaint?

    Why must only the public be kept in the dark about the details?  You know it’s the top gossip news in Washington, and all the details are known to everyone there.  The public wants action on the economy, and Washington gives them sensational innuendo with no facts instead.  It’s the classic example of dysfunctional politics.

    Hmm, chances are there was sexual harassment charges – possibly found to be false or he never admitted to them, or there was no evidence except the word of the accusers. Happens all the time in the corporate world. Cain is saying that the harassment never happened, but not the charges.  It is a hard place to spin from. If the women received a settlement it is not necessarily an admittance of guilt, many companies avoid sticky long drawn out lawsuit by getting the accusers to take a cash settlement. One that usually requires a level of confidentiality. These women may have broken that part of their settlement -that is why they remain as an unnamed source.
    This should be interesting to watch play out.
