Herman Cain: Unaware Of Any Settlement Over ‘Baseless’ Sexual Harassment Charges

video
» 402 comments

Embattled GOP frontrunner Herman Cain appeared on Fox News this morning, and gave his first interview since Politico broke the story of hushed-up sexual harassment allegations during Cain’s stint as CEO of the National Restaurant Association. During the interview, Cain continued his campaign’s strategy of laying the allegations off to NRA, telling Fox’s Jenna Lee that the allegations of sexual harassment were “baseless” and “false,” adding that if there was a cash settlement, he was “unaware of it.”

Following a disastrous appearance by his campaign spokesman Sunday night, and a carefully-parsed appearance by campaign manager Mark Block, Cain needed a virtuoso performance here. Cain made very clear in his denial that he had never sexually harassed anyone, though he admit knowledge of specific charges that he repeatedly called false.

Following is a rough transcript of the opening exchange (via TV Eyes):

Jenna Lee: Let’s start with the truth. that’s always the best place to start. What is the truth about these allegations of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct? Have you ever been accused at any time of either?

Herman Cain: I have never sexually harassed anyone, let’s say that. Secondly, I’ve never sexually harassed anyone, and yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the national restaurant association, and i say falsely, because it turned out, after the investigation, to be baseless. The people mentioned in that article were the ones who would be aware of any misdoings, and they have attested to my integrity and my character. It is totally baseless, and totally false, never have I committed any sort of sexual harassment.

Lee: Have you ever had to settle a claim, falsely accused or not, sometimes a settlement happens when a false accusation is made. have you ever had to settle a claim, giving money, or paid someone because a claim of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct.

Cain: Outside of the restaurant association, absolutely not. If the restaurant association did a settlement, I am not — i wasn’t even aware of it and I hope it wasn’t for much, because nothing happened. so if there was a settlement, it was handled by some of the other officers that worked for me at the association. So the answer is absolutely not.

Lee followed up by asking if there are any other future allegations like this that might come up. Cain initially declared “absolutely not” before leaving open the notion that there may be more to come with the clear caveat that they would be false.

Cain’s run at the top of the GOP polls has been far more durable than those of his predecessors, and it’s unclear if even this episode will decay his orbit significantly. The fervor around Cain is almost religious, and the conservative base is notoriously suspicious of the main pillars in this story: the media, litigation, and what they see as “politically correct” attitudes toward workplace behavior. For them, Cain’s reliance on Politico’s anonymous sourcing (despite rock-solid reporting) and the strength of those non-disclosure agreements, might just do the trick. The only place this is guranteed to hurt is with the GOP establishment, which isn’t with Cain to begin with.

    MEANWHILE KARL ROVE WANTS ANSWERS!!!!

    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.”

    Herman Cain has been taking heat for his response to questions about Politico’s story on alleged sexual harassment.  But today on Morning Joe, it was Politico’s own Jonathan Martin, lead author of the story, who was being evasive about the details of the allegations against Cain.

    Incredibly, when Willie Geist asked him to describe specifically what Politico is accusing Cain of having done, Martin
    hemmed, hawed then ultimately said “we’re just not going to get into
    the details of exactly what happened with these women,” beyond the sketchy generalities in the Politico story.  Video after the jump.Read more: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2011/10/31/politicos-martin-dodges-question-cain-details#ixzz1cNJQUMVI

    Wondering how much time the major “liberal” media will let pass by before they cover Cains campaign finance controversy?
    “If the records accurately reflect what occurred, this is way out of bounds,” said a Washington, D.C.-based election lawyer who advises many Republican candidates and conservative groups on campaign issues. The lawyer asked not to be identified because of those affiliations.”

    Do you mean these specifics detailed in the ARTICLE:
    “The sources — including the recollections of close associates and other documentation — describe episodes that left the women upset and offended. These incidents include conversations allegedly filled with innuendo or personal questions of a sexually suggestive nature, taking place at hotels during conferences, at other officially sanctioned restaurant association events and at the association’s offices. There were also descriptions of physical gestures that were not overtly sexual but that made women who experienced or witnessed them uncomfortable and that they regarded as improper in a professional relationship.”

    I agree with you entirely. I really want there to be two responsible, credible parties having an honest debate. This election cycle, like the last one, has been painful to watch for anyone who ever believed in the values and ideals of the pre-theocratic Republican party. Even Reagan would be savaged as a RINO by the pitchforkers who run it today.

  • Darladoon

    so how come cain can’t remember whether there was a settlement?

  • Anonymous

    It really depends if anything real or substantive comes out about payments being made.

    Even if they have been made on your behalf, it will be difficult to dance around why? The question will then turn to why was it necessary if you are ‘innocent.’

    Herman Cain had to be aware the history of any allegations would come out eventually.

    So Tommy,you once again worked over your keyboard to tell us that nobody has any definitive proof of anything,that Cain has denied the allegations,and there isn’t any proof concerning payments.

    As for Cain not knowing about possible payments,it’s certain possible that,if there were any which is completely unclear,that they might have been made by lower staff looking to put an end to the situation even if it was untrue or unproven,just to end it.How many allegations are quietly settled like that to avoid the costs and the PR regardless of the validity just to end a situation?Lots.

    Ultimately until something comes along to show substantive proof,it’s a red herring.

    Now given that Bill Clinton was the other “great ” President in modern history (just after BHO)…then these flimsy charges should mean Cain is even more qualified.

    I agree.
    Politico never publishes a story on democrats acting badly or making political missteps…ever.
    Every article is made to bring down conservatives. Their staff is probably being paid by the White House. In fact, if anyone can find a Poltiico article saying something bad about a democrat, post the link here. I bet you’ll never find one. It’s about time the world knows that Politico is an extension of the Obama White House.

    Many baseless, sexual harassment suits have been filed by disgruntled workers. Questions should be asked of the NRA, such as were these women about to be fired/laid-off? 

    Martin himself, could not substantiate claims of what the exact charges brought against Cain were.

    Did Cain whistle at, wink, or compliment  the women? Is that really harassment?

    I’ve seen/heard of, far too many women use this charge to extract money from their employers.

    Michelle is physically incapable of typing anything critical about a Republican wingnut. I think she’d break out in a massive sweat and her hands would shake. It calms her nerves to just ignore it, find a line of attack on a liberal (usually involving the lamestream media) and console herself with her moral superiority.

    The best aspect of Cain’s campaign is that it will drive the lunatic-left d-cRAT socialists even more insane (if that is even possible) because the d-cRAT socialists believe that blacks are 100% owned as their property. So, when one of them strays from the lunatic-left plantation and speaks out of turn – or otherwise disobeys their d-cRAT MASTERS – the lunatic-left and their stooges in the lamestream socialist media go into hyper-hate mode and throw everything they can at the offender. Already, race-baiter “lynch the INNOCENT Duke lacrosse team” sharpton and sewer-rat maher have called Cain a “racist”, a “bigot” and an “uncle tom” (the lunatic-left ALWAYS throws out such epithets because they are simply mentally incapable of rationally discussing any matter.)  There will be more – much more – vile hatred from the d-cRAT socialists directed at Cain as he campaigns and shows many that there is a BETTER alternative to the despicable d-cRAT socialist OWNERS and RULERS of blacks.

    Clinton Settles Paula Jones Lawsuit for $850,000

    By Peter Baker

    Washington Post Staff Writer

    Saturday, November 14, 1998; Page A1

    President Clinton reached an out-of-court settlement with Paula Jones
    yesterday, agreeing to pay her $850,000 to drop the sexual harassment
    lawsuit that led to the worst political crisis of his career and only
    the third presidential impeachment inquiry in American history.

    After more than 4 1/2 years of scorched-earth legal warfare, Clinton and
    Jones brought a sudden end to the case with a four-page deal in which
    he acknowledged no wrongdoing and offered no apology. The agreement,
    which will be filed with a federal appeals court considering whether the
    lawsuit should go forward, requires the president to pay within 60
    days.

    Robert S. Bennett, Clinton’s chief attorney in the case, said the
    president still insists Jones’s allegations of a crude proposition in a
    Little Rock hotel suite seven years ago “are baseless” but agreed to
    make the payment in the interest of finally putting the matter behind
    him.

    “The president has decided he is not prepared to spend one more hour on
    this matter,” Bennett said. “It is clear that the American people want
    their president and Congress to focus on the problems that they were
    elected to solve. This is a step in that direction.”

    The settlement foreclosed the possibility that Clinton’s personal life
    would be reopened for public inspection at a sensational trial had the
    lawsuit dismissed in April been reinstated, as many lawyers involved
    believed it would be. It also may help the president’s allies defend him
    against independent counsel Kenneth W. Starr’s allegations that he lied
    and obstructed justice during the case, while providing a new
    opportunity for the White House to cut a separate deal with Congress to
    drop impeachment proceedings.

    Just hours before the settlement was inked yesterday, Starr sent new
    evidence to the House Judiciary Committee stemming from a witness in the
    Jones case, Kathleen E. Willey, who also accused Clinton of an
    unwelcome sexual advance.

    Jones made no public comment, but her husband, Steve, told reporters
    outside their California condominium that the payment amounts to an
    apology on its own.

    That would be incredibly irresponsible and inept, and render him not only unqualified for the Presidency but extremely unqualified for ANY position of responsibility!

    What sort of ‘leader’ would be aware of serious charges against themselves and fail to follow up on them with the legal dept or whomever was in charge of the internal legal issues.

    How can you claim to love your country and yet defend this sort of ineptitude from someone wishing to lead said country? I love my country and I’d be immediately calling for this sort of idiot to drop out of the race regardless of whether I agreed with them politically! Why, in fact I’d be more embarrassed and more likely to distance myself if we were ideologically similar. Why do so many continue to support this fool when he has time and again shown he is dangerously unqualified, uninterested in many important aspects of the presidency, not very intelligent, and actually PROUD of his ignorance of so many aspects of policy!?

    Actually, I would say it is a pretty sure bet that many who voted against him knew it, and it was the group who did not know did vote for the O.  It is not like the media was out their running a twenty four hour news cycle on it.  Anymore than why Bill Ayers should not still be locked in a hole somewhere or should have shown up on a black projects list.  No the answer is much simpler and is here on this site every day of the week  Anyone who disagrees with “O” is a racist and a bigot, Janeane Garofalo told us so, or haven’t you heard.  Anytime anyone disagrees with a point of view that the progressives have, for the most part, out come the slurs and down right vileness.

    You see anyone that brought up the whole Reverend Wright issue in a
    thoughtful way has been introduced to the “Chicago Way”.  I am
    originally from Illinois, I know how that works.   More recently his
    boys have had  websites set up to rat out your neighbors.  My, how
    Nixonian or Wilsonian of El Presidente. 

    Now it does go both ways, I have hit at the belt line pretty hard myself.  This is a running post, so many of us say on line what we would never say to each other’s face.  I would say it to your face, but that is a personal choice.  But over the months I have watched progressives take this to a whole new level of vile and contemptuous speech.  What it tells me is that many of you truly fear what is most likely coming your way.  In 2010, the Democrats lost the house and a fair chunk of their seats that were up for a vote.  However the real story is at the state level.   Remember, the democrats/progressives lost over 600 state representative and senate seats.  That is a wake up and smell the coffee moment.  If the trend continues, then the progressives are about to take a bath.  That is why the shrill name calling  personal insults has reached a new high,   Obama could still win, if Romney is the elephant’s choice, which is why the elite right is pushing him so hard.  They love being the lefts good little puppies or being the other end of the progressive line. 

    So my progressive friends, do not think Obama is a slam dunk, besides I await you latest rants and creative vileness.

    Herman Cain has a lot in common with Clarence Thomas.  They’re both clowns, incompetent, dirty, sexist, liars.

    anonymous sources have said Clarence Thomas does as little as possible on the high court, doesn’t read documents, does minimal work on any court case and is a non intellectual.  He also is a liar and was picked to be on the court to match a black-quota.  He wasn’t qualified and EVERYONE knows it.  They also know Anita Hill was telling the truth.

They also contacted the Cain campaign 10 days ago looking for a response, a statement and warned they’d go public with this after 10 days.  Cain camp did NOT respond and when Politico confronted him the morning BEFORE the story was published they asked him flat out for a yes or no answer and Cain refused to respond AND his campaign pushed the reporter away.

    Keep spinning the facts.  You cons are all alike.. total scum.

    I’m pretty sure most woman (and probably a lot of men) could sue for sexual harassment if they wanted to.  I’ve had several inappropriate bosses, but I’m just not the suing kind.  You put them in their place and move on.  Of course, if it’s more than “innocent” teasing or flirting, that’s another story.

    As a staunch, card-carrying liberal…I frankly cant stand Herman Cain.  I don’t care that the sources of this report are unnamed, and I am also willing to ignore the fact that in countless incidents, people will make baseless sexual harrassment charges against wealthy and powerfull people in an attempt to shake them down in out of court settlements to avoid emarrassing court appearances.  See Dominique Straus for a the lates example of that.
     
    No…none of this matters to me…what does matter to me is the fact that there is a smear against Herman Cain out there that we liberals have to run with.   So, regardless of the flimsey nature  of the sources, and the fact that there are no facts available on this whole thing….lets perpetuate the lie that he is a rapist or something.
     
    The bottom line commerades…we cant have a Self-made Successful black man make it into the office of the POTUS as a GOPer..or he will pull the curtain back and show the rest of the black community that they can be successful without reflexiving assuming they need Democrats in office to ensure they survive and feed their children,

    Cain talking to Greta:
    Van
    Susteren asked what Cain did that led to the accusation. There were
    reportedly more than one accusations in the complaint, but Cain said he
    recalled just one incident. “She was in my office one day, and I made a
    gesture saying — and I was standing close to her — and I made a gesture
    saying you are the same height as my wife. And I brought my hand up to
    my chin saying, ‘My wife comes up to my chin.’” At that point, Cain
    gestured with his flattened palm near his chin. “And that was put in
    there [the complaint] as something that made her uncomfortable,” Cain
    said, “something that was in the sexual harassment charge.”

    Do you have the facts on this meeting – what was discussed, who said what, such as a transcript? No, you don’t, so all you can really do is speculate unless Herman decides to lay it all out for you. Why don’t you chase down your bogie men the Koch brothers and confront them about that meeting?

    Why don’t you get a clue and try to base at least one of your posts on fact instead of speculative garbage that your Media Matters boss told you to bring up. This is the worst kind of propaganda campaign, which begs the question what are you and your gang so afraid of Herman Cain for?

    Stop the lies, show some personal responsibility and integrity and try to present a credible case for once in your life.

    This is why I call you an epoxymoron, you are permanently bonded on a molecular level with stupidity.

    While you continue to live in denial, I will enlighten you with this article, at the end of which is the reason you and your friends at Media Matters Chicago are so completely and utterly wrong. While you label Herman Cain as a sexual predator, let’s see what your friends at OWS do with REAL sexual predators:

    “Another weekend and yet another allegation of rape at an Occupy protest – but more disturbing than the allegation itself is how OWS is handling it. In the latest case, the victim was afraid to speak out about the incident at all and said OWS handles sexual assault cases ‘internally’ and feared she ‘said too much already’ about the allegation. Why not just report it to the police?

    “There seems to be an increase of rapes now,” Glenn said of the Wall Street protests.

    “They’ve decided that they are just going to have to not really call them ‑‑ well, they’ll call them rape, but they’re not going to call the police because the police really would be a bad thing to call, you know. Why do that?”

    The New York Post reports “A sex fiend barged into a woman’s tent and sexually assaulted her at around 6 a.m., said protesters, who chased him from the park.”

    The Post interviewed one woman who explained that they don’t report the assaults. “We handle it internally. I said too much already,” she said.

    “They did shine flashlights in the face of the most recent rapist,” Stu said.

    “Brutality! Brutality! Brutality!” Pat jokingly chanted.

    Not happy with the media coverage of the sexual assaults at the Wall Street protests? Don’t worry – the media will provide non-stop coverage of the alleged Herman Cain sexual harassment until he is no longer seen as a viable candidate.”.

    So, you appear to be on the wrong side of this issue but that is familiar territory for you so I don’t think it bothers you all that much.

    Do you ever tire of lying your a$$ off? Why don’t you crawl back into the slime pit you arose from?

    Your OWS pals all want to handle real sexual predators internally instead of having them detained and arrested by the NYPD – talk about a group of fools. They have no concern for the victims, they just want to squelch the negative aspects of their bowel movement.

    I believe that is called obstruction of justice, it might even be a felony for knowing about a crime and not reporting it to the authorities.

    Now who is defending sexual predators here?

    Nice dodge, but you know that was a reference to his pastor for 20 years, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, in Chicago.

    Worried about Cain! Yeah, we hope he stays, he’s our best chance. Just so we understand, since he’s a “tea” whatever he does is ok, and all others are wrong! Got it.

    So, we’re not counting the “Blaze” runs of Politico, Weiner, Obama all the time, Biden. Many negative reports. Oh,…. just chalk it up to “tea” denial!

    “Not aware of the legal follow through”!? In some states, to make the contract or agreement legal he “would” have to be aware or the courts wouldn’t accept the contract as legal, at a future point. I know, here comes the spin, walk back and crap! He lied, but so what we hope he stays and “teas” don’t care about lies, non facts or morals! He will make it past this

    Looks like we may get to the bottom of this after all. The Washington Post is reporting the following:

    One of the women who accused GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment wants to tell her side of the story but is barred by a confidentiality agreement, her attorney in Washington said Tuesday.Lawyer Joel P. Bennett called on the National Restaurant Association, where the woman and Cain worked in the late 1990s, to release the woman from her written promise not to talk about the allegations or disparage the trade group.
    “It is just frustrating that Herman Cain is going around bad-mouthing the two complainants, and my client is blocked by a confidentiality agreement,” Bennett said. “The National Restaurant Association ought to release them and allow them to respond. ”

  • http://www.thefriendcenter.com/ SoThere

    Boo Hoo, his client is is blocked by a confidentiality agreement.  Cain wasn’t part of any agreement because he removed himself from the investigation.

    He should tell his client to give back the money and see’s free to sing like a canary.  Accusations by people who want to stay anonymous are worth spit.  They are a dime a dozen and mean nothing.

    Sorry folks, no lynchings today.

    It’s become a slander fest in the Liberal media regardless of who broke the story.  So far, only names less accusations and no facts.  Typical leftist garbage.  Sorry lefties, no lynchings today.

    Why not?  Clinton actually assaulted women (accused of actual rape) when he was Governor and was sticking cigars into places that can’t be mentioned on a young intern and you leftists thought he was qualified to be President.

    It makes your post look ignorant if you think baseless accusations disqualify Cain from being President. In the liberal world he should fit right in except he’s an OREO right?

    Oh, wait, Clinton was your man wasn’t he.  Well that makes all the difference.

    Sorry, you can put the noose away, there’ll be no lynchings today.
