More on the allegations that the GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain sexually harassed female employees during his tenure as head of the National Restaurant Association.
"What is the truth about these allegations of sexual harassment or sexual misconduct? Have you ever been accused, at any time, of either?" GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain was asked by a Fox News correspondent this morning. (Link to clip of interview below.)

"Yes," Cain answered. "I have never sexually harassed anyone. Let's say that. Secondlly, um, I have never sexually harassed anyone."
Ah, right. Nothing suspicious about that. And, um, nothing suspicious about that.
He continued. "And, yes, I was falsely accused while I was at the National Restaurant Association," he said, "and I say falsely because it turned out, after the investigation, to be baseless..." (Watch a clip of the interview below.)
The Huffington Post followed up with this:
When asked if he has ever had to deal with sexual harassment claims, the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza reiterated his innocence.
"Outside of the Restaurant Association, absolutely not ... If the restaurant did a settle I wasn't even aware of it," Cain said. "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."
As for any future troubles, Cain was steadfast, noting that no other allegations of this nature are tied to his past.
"Absolutely not," the GOP hopeful said. "If more allegations come I assure you people will simply make them up ... The only other allegations will be trumped up allegations -- there’s nothing else."
I don't buy any of it. Innocent people don't pay off accusers in return for silence.
