Herman Cain Sexual Harassment Charges: Third Ex-Employee Comes Forward About Candidate's Behavior (1 minute video if you click link)

Herman Cain is being accused of sexual harassment by a third former employee.

The ex-staffer, a woman who worked for Cain at the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, told the Associated Press that GOP candidate displayed aggressive and unsolicited behavior, including suggestive remarks and inappropriate gestures. She claimed that he even invited her back to his apartment.

Cain's campaign declined to comment to the AP.

Earlier this week, Politico reported that the GOP candidate was accused of sexual harassment by two different women. The women, both former NRA employees, reportedly received five-figure settlement packages after they filed formal workplace complaints. The third woman told the AP that she considered filing a complaint, but did not.

Separately, Chris Wilson, a former NRA staffer, toldOklahoma radio station KTOK that he witnessed Cain sexually harassing a woman at Virginia restaurant in the late 90s. Wilson said that while he could not discuss specifics of what happened, he believes if the woman were to talk about it "I think it'll be the end of his campaign."

Wilson confirmed the incident to Politico.

"It was very uncomfortable," he said.

Conservative radio host Steve Deace also told Politico that Cain said "awkward" and "inappropriate" things to his station's staff.

Cain told Forbes on Wednesday that Cain told Forbes on Wednesday that he believed Curt Anderson, a former consultant to his 2004 Senate campaign (and current adviser to GOP rival Rick Perry), is responsible for leaking information about the sexual harassment claims to the press.

Both Anderson and Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan have denied the charge.

Sullivan suggested that the Romney camp may have been responsible for the leaks. "I wouldn't put it past them," he told CBS/the National Journal's Rebecca Kaplan.

Stick a fork in him. He's done.

so this "alleged" female said something.

Hilarious.

The press is really full of ####### on this.

They've taken bait and ran with it. It's pathetic.

It's either Rick Perry's campaign pulling this ####### or Obama's. I'd guess the latter. After all, a serious black Republican cannot be allowed to happen after all. It would make Democrats look bad.

You really think Cain could beat Obama?

Cain's nomination would be a dream come true for Obama. Him continuing to be a contender is good news for Mitt. Cain is Rick Perry's nightmare, however. Perry is arguably the guy that would benefit from Cain's downfall the most. And it's not a new strategery within the GOP to get rid of the non-establishment candidates. You're not following this too closely, are you?

Stick a fork in him. He's done.

No way. He never would have been on Fox and Friends if he hadn't started this. He's only getting started. Just ask Huckabee and Palin.

You want to know who leaked this information, I'll tell you who leaked it---Herman Cain leaked it. He's got all the publicity he needs and he knows he had no real chance of winning the Presidency so he's looking for an excuse to bow out.

If the economy does not improve a Vermont Teddy Bear could beat Obama.

So far these accusations have helped Cain. Since Clinton lowered the bar to getting oral sex in the oval office from young interns this kind of thing is passe. Been there, done that.

Has this women even been named, identified herself?

If not it can hardly be considered "coming forward".

If these charges are true, one would have to believe there would be half a dozen women who have experienced this over the years.

By next week me might reach that threshold.

Us Americans would love to see a REAL Black American be POTUS.
