Gloria Allred’s press conference with the latest woman to accuse Herman Cain of sexual harassment is scheduled for 1:30 pm ET; expect the media to go into full circus mode on every news channel. They just showed the room where Allred’s presser is happening — totally crammed with reporters and cameras.

If Herman Cain thought this scandal was going to blow over, he was mistaken.

Here’s a thread to discuss…

The accuser, Sharon Bialek, said that when she was alone in a car with Herman Cain, he suddenly shoved his hand under her skirt, reaching for her “genitals,” then grabbed her head and pulled it down to his crotch.

Ms. Bialek is actually describing a sexual assault, not just harassment. And she has sworn statements from two people she talked to about the incident, shortly after it happened.

A rapid response from the Cain campaign:

Just as the country finally begins to refocus on our crippling $15 trillion national debt and the unacceptably high unemployment rate, now activist celebrity lawyer Gloria Allred is bringing forth more false accusations against the character of Republican front-runner Herman Cain.

All allegations of harassment against Mr. Cain are completely false. Mr. Cain has never harassed anyone. Fortunately the American people will not allow Mr. Cain’s bold “9-9-9 Plan”, clear foreign policy vision and plans for energy independence to be overshadowed by these bogus attacks.
