Ginger White Stands By Herman Cain Affair

AP/The Huffington Post   First Posted: 11/30/2011 7:10 am Updated: 11/30/2011 9:32 am

WASHINGTON -- An Atlanta businesswoman said she had a "very casual affair" with Herman Cain and said she doesn't think he should be president.

Ginger White stood by her assertion in a nationally broadcast interview, despite Cain's denials. She called the relationship an "on and off" affair.

White told ABC's "Good Morning America" that it's "very disappointing that he would call me troubled."

Elaborating on her claims of an affair, White said, "This was not a consistent love affair that went on every day for the last 14 years. So he is correct when he made that statement."

But White also said Cain gave her gifts and money consistently, although she said he didn't demand anything in return.

She added that the relationship wasn't a matter of "sex for cash."

White said that Cain flew her to Las Vegas for the boxing match between Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield in 1997. "I went on several trips with Herman. One particular trip was the Mike Tyson-Holyfield fight in Las Vegas," she said, according to Politico. Tyson bit off a piece of Holyfield's ear in the match.

She also said that Cain is not fit to be president but declined to say whether he should end his campaign. "I honestly do not think that he is, in my opinion, would make a good president, as far as I'm concerned. My views are different from his views, but at the end of the day this is not political -- this is absolutely not political and I've never tried to make it out to be that."

"I'm not sure what's going on in his head right now," said White, according to The Hill. "But it's unfortunate that any of this is going on."

On Oct. 31 Politico broke the news that two women had filed sexual harassment claims against Herman Cain when he ran the National Restaurant Association 20 years ago. At the time the story was published the women wished to remain anonymous, but one, Karen Kraushaar, came forward on Nov. 8, the day after a third woman, Sharon Bialek, held a press conference alleging she was sexually harassed by Cain.

Kraushaar, a Treasury Department spokeswoman, was an employee at the National Restaurant Association during the time Cain was head of the group. She did not discuss the details of the claim, but her attorney described the story Bialek told as familiar. "I'm not authorized to give specifics, but the conduct is similar and it's corroborating evidence for the complaint my client filed." Kraushaar received a settlement of about $45,000.

Ginger: don't try to come off as doing the right thing. You slept with another woman's husband, and had thirteen years to realize it was wrong.

White stated she had a 13 yr. affair with Cain. Stated she went to Vegas with Cain and saw the Tyson/Holyfield fight. Fact is - that fight was on June 28, 1997. That was almost 14-1/2 years ago. That fact alone proves Ginger White is a liar. But when are facts important to the media.

It appears these posts are filtered in an inconsistent manner. Some thought-filled comments are not being approved. Is there an agenda here?? Imagine that.... It just goes to show this is not a news source, just a Democratic opinion page. Will this post get approved?

No, all of you moonbats with you heads in the dark, love to slice and dice up people. Frankly, none of what Cain has done in his own life is any of your business. That goes for all of you dorks who never vetted BO.

Not as twisted as your remarks are.

Here's proof of all the lies:
She did not discuss the details of the claim, but her attorney described the story Bialek told as familiar. Well, if she didn't discuss it, then how can it be familiar to anything???
They are all liars...the first 3 bitches aren't even contending any sexual contact, they're saying he said something inappropriate. LIKE WHAT??????????????? WHAT DID HE SAY...AND IF HE WAS GUILTY, WHY WON'T THESE BITCHES JUST COME OUT WITH THE ACTUAL INFORMATION...WHY WHY WHY...WHY WON'T THEY...
BECAUSE THERE IS NO PROOF, NO EVIDENCE, NO NOTHING, THEY ARE LIARS.

Wow. A woman can't file a complaint without being called names? And if there was no evidence, then why the quick payout? There are many people in authority who use their power unwisely, get caught, and then hush it up quickly. He's just one of many, but you don't hear me calling him names. For that matter, you don't hear the ladies involved calling him names.

One other quick point; to my understanding, none of these ladies outed themselves; their stories were uncovered due to that vetting that you were ranting and raving about earlier. Wipe the rabid foam from your mouth and stop shouting, little guy. It's all going to be okay. Breathe deep, and say ten times, "Not all females are b**ches just because they don't want to have sex with Herman Cain."

For someone who is married to a lawyer, Kraushaar's measly $45,000 is nothing. Paula Jones got $850,000 decades ago. Now that's a payoff! And Gloria Allred was NOT her lawyer.
