The Implosion Of Herman Cain Continues
It’s been 24 hours since we learned who Karen Kraushaar is and the Cain people are going into full attack.

It’s been 24 hours since we learned who Karen Kraushaar is and the Cain people are going into full attack. Let’s start off with a bald face lie being told by Cain’s campaign manager, Mark Block:
Herman Cain campaign manager Mark Block, in an appearance with Sean Hannity on Fox News just now, insisted that a relative of the second woman to publicly accuse the candidate of sexual harassment in the 1990s works at POLITICO.
“Her son works at POLITICO,” Block said of Karen Kraushaar, whose name POLITICO printed earlier today after other media outlets made her identity public.
“I’ve been hearing that all day – you’ve confirmed that now?” Hannity asked.
“We’ve confirmed that he does indeed work at POLITICO and that’s his mother, yes,” said Block.
Block appeared to be referring to former POLITICO reporter Josh Kraushaar, who left for another outlet, National Journal, in 2010.
Josh Kraushaar tweeted earlier in the day, apparently after getting questions, that he’s in fact not related to Karen Kraushaar, and simply has the same last name.
A flat out lie being told by Cain’s people and they keep pushing it. But it also doesn’t stop there. Here’s a screen shot of a post on Herman Cain’s PAC:
Remember now, we are talking about sexual harassment and having a post appear on Cain’s PAC website calling one of the women “ugly” is a really good way to validate the claims. If Herman Cain or his people took sexual harassment serious at all, that post would have been instantly removed. Instead it has appeared since yesterday.
So now I’m sitting here thinking that all of this may be a contributing factor to Kraushaar wanting to go public now:
Kraushaar, 55, said in an interview with POLITICO that she would like to band together with the other three women accusing Cain of harassment.
“That would be my preference, that we all go together in a joint press conference,” she said, noting that she’s turned down interview requests from a number of TV news shows.
Kraushaar said she had not talked to the other women about such an idea and that such a plan would be executed by their attorneys.
I really hope this happens. It’s time for Herman Cain to come clean, not only about the sexual harassment, but also how he views women. This guy wants to be President and the people who are supposed to decide if he should be are entitled to the truth.
