Bombshell Report: GOP Front-Runner Cain Accused Of Improper Behavior Toward Women Over A Decade AgoWait, Is This New Harassment Story Helping Herman Cain?Here's What Herman Cain Would Do On his First Day In Office

On Fox News just now, Republican front-runner Herman Cain denied that he had ever sexually harassed anyone, but admitted that he was accused of harassment while at the National Restaurant Association.

"It is totally baseless and totally false. Never have I ever committed any kind of sexual harassment," he said. "But yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the National Restaurant Association."

He added that he does not know that a settlement was paid out against the two complainants, and said "If more allegations come, I assure you that people will simply make them up."

"The only other allegations will be trumped up allegations," he said.

Cain added that he did not know about a report alleging improprieties in his campaign's accounting and campaign finance disclosures.

1. "He added that he does not know that a settlement was paid out against the two complainants..."
If he had been falsely accused, he wouldn't have paid a settlement to them. Every time he says something, he makes no sense. Same with his comments on his stance on abortion and "the fence."

5. More shoes to drop?
"If more allegations come, I assure you that people will simply make them up."

Apparently those women didn't know their place. :sarcasm:
