this is laughable
First of all she didn't work for him... so how can it be workplace harassment?
at most... he made a pass at her. But I don't even buy that, this woman is just some nut looking for her 5 minutes of fame.
If her claims are true (which I HIGHLY doubt), what she describes is sexual harassment. This is the first paragraph of the definition of sexual harassment from the EEOC website (emphasis added):
"It is unlawful to harass a person ( an applicant or employee) because of that person’s sex. Harassment can include “sexual harassment” or unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature."
If she was asking for a job she would be considered an applicant and if (mind, I say IF) Cain stated or implied her hiring was dependant on sexual favors, he would be guilty of harassment.
But a number of people have spoken about Cain's behavior over the years and this is totally out of character from the man they have described. Does that mean it is impossible? No. Less likely? Yes.
But, as Ann Coulter asked in her column last week, whatever happened to the "one free grope" rule? This was the constant excuse for Democrats - they tried something, but they stopped when asked. Have we suddenly had a rule change (retroactive to 14 years ago)?
One of the co-authors of the original Politico story was on a local radio show last Monday and whenever she was questioned about anything, her pat answer was that "I'll let the story speak for itself." Well, it has spoken for itself - and proved to be a poorly sourced, non-specific piece of garbage more intended to slander Cain with innuendo than to rightfully "inform the public". I put this story in the same garbage heap until I see some verifiable facts on the table.
