Herman Cain sexual harassment

So again Herman Cain is on the spotlight of politics and the election and again for something bad. But this is by far the worst public media and news yet for any candidate. Mr. Cain seems to have nothing but negative surrounding his campaign; I wonder will we ever see something good about him. This time Mr. Cain is being accused of sexual harassment, not only against one women bur several women. Mr. Cain denies any such thing as being true but witnesses of the account and those who know about the incidents make it hard for him to convince others that this is just a scam. Mr. Cain plays his only defense stating that he is a victim in these situations and that the media and the players of politics are positioning him as a victim of “gunner politics”.
The first women who accused him of sexual harassment were a woman who worked with him at the National Restaurant Association in the late 1990’s. The incident happened on a night were Mr. Cain and some of his coworkers were enjoying their night and drinking well into the evening where he started to make flirty comments. He didn’t stop and continued to make numerous advances at the woman. He was very inappropriate and persistent with his actions towards her.
After the incident the woman complained to higher authority’s at her job but no one seemed to do anything about it. In fact they all started to look at her differently and she became so uncomfortable that she decided to just leave. After she left the job it was offered and agreed upon between her lawyer and the association general council that they would settle the situation by offering her $35,000 which was about a year’s salary. The woman didn’t bring the story out to the media, in fact she wanted to forget about it and just live her life as a normal woman.
Another woman was offered $45,000 for the same situation between the times that Mr. Cain was working as chief executive of the association. Of course Mr. Cain is highly upset about these stories because they really threaten his chances at becoming president. These allegations could ruin any chance that he had. He constantly denies that any of this took place but he did say that his actions could have been misread by these women. He claims that he would extensively compliment a woman about how good she may look that day but he would never cross the line and that he would never even attempt to compliment her in that manner id he didn’t feel completely comfortable with them and think that they would take it the wrong way.
There are people who know Mr. Cain and who state that he likes to joke and such but he never means to come off the wrong way, he is a playful individual and he is friendly. They could never see him doing such a thing and they can’t figure out these stories.
