Ginger White Details Alleged Herman Cain Affair

Ginger White, whose accusation of a 13-year affair with Herman Cain contributed to his decision to suspend his presidential campaign Saturday, revealed intimate details of the alleged affair in an interview with The Daily Beast published Monday.

"One time we were having sex, and I was looking up at the ceiling, thinking about 'What am I going to buy at the grocery store tomorrow? What I am going to do with my kids tomorrow?'" she said. "One time after we had sex, I cried. He said, 'Maybe we shouldn't do this for a while.' So maybe he did have a heart -- or half a heart. But I knew I needed his financial help."

White defended her decision to take money from Cain. "I am a loving mother who has always wanted to make her own way and give her kids the best. I never wanted to take a handout, and I've said no more times than I said yes," she said.

Cain acknowledged that he gave White financial help with "month-to-month bills and expenses," without telling his wife, Gloria. He described White as a friend but denied any sexual affair with her.

Cain announced he was suspending his campaign Saturday. "These false and unproved allegations continue ... to create a cloud of doubt over me and this campaign and my family," he said. "That spin hurts. It hurts my wife, it hurts my family, it hurts me, and it hurts the American people, because you're being denied solutions to our problems."

White apologized to Cain's wife, Gloria, and his children Thursday. "I am deeply, deeply sorry if I have caused any hurt to her and to his kids, to his family. That was not my intention. I never wanted to hurt anyone, and I'm deeply sorry. I am very sorry," she said on MSNBC's "The Last Word."

White told The Daily Beast that she could not bring herself to watch Cain's announcement Saturday.

Sex,even allegations,sexual interest in anyone other than the legally,morally,religiously sanctioned unions,
are among the last minute
allegations, used like mud, to throw on a candidate,
we are acting as if Americans and the world pays any attention to marriage,
the vast vast majority that indulge in free sex, before the legally allowed age[we can have guidelines on various sexual acts, sanctioned by one of the 100,000 gods ,we have created, to generate cash or denounce persons]
yet no one pays attention to the age of free sex[prostitutes, who engage in sex[male and female] for monetary gain, is a fact, religions, had no impact on them, from the time of Buddha[who banned sex for the clergy, left others alone]
and before his time,
now religions, create new and newer versions of sexual permission, depending on ,
which way the pendulum swings,
Many priests took it for granted,
that sex, was ok[kidsAdultsgotsexCalledIt RapeCollectedCash] ,
so long as the church hierarchy, supported or defended the act.
some were victims, many were consenting adults or experienced in sex,
suddenly found they had access to cash[cains friend can now pay her bills, thanks to free sex],
and became instant victims.
politicians, were victims, depending on the tide,
Cain, was not the best candidate,
but he was leading the pack,
his 9 9 9 remains an enigma, but he understands, many support,
until sex , that creates a problem.

we may see ,very soon, legislation[by aCongress whoFor 2-3 yrs couldNotPassABill[YETGOTPAID], declared our rich, nearly invincible country to be bankrupt,a lie perpetrated for political gain, much worse than any sex sandal, but its part of the game]
USA as it stands,
and we the people areInvincible,
so long as we have faith[regardless ofReligious orSexual permission required to have sex]
we have untapped, unbelievable talent, wealth,
and if congress gets on with the job or creating jobs, getting out of the business of wars[we join the Muslims /Christians as the group that creates wars toKill, based on
My god can kill you and your god theory,
this can lead to disaster,
as a new powerfulGod or Ism canReplace the existing, non functional,
destructive leads given by faiths[religion must get out of the business of sex],
hell bent on power,
establishingOneGod[when their gods are fragmented, fractionated to a small building]
Cain and many others are victims,
just like the former slaves[we are forgetting or ignoring the new, improved slaves[like soap powder]

yet our system and we the people, still remains powerful,
politics cannot destroy them,
some countries ban sex for women in many diverse ways,
and a woman can be imprisoned for sex outside marriage,
and raped at will, while incarcerated.
that is also called morality.

examine Cain for his values, let him deal with his personal life,
leave religion, sex, sexual deviations[a term used to legalize one type of sex, that no one an define, is never ,ever universally acceptable]

In the absence of conclusive recorded evidence, I can't say whether Herman Cain is guilty of having an affair or not, neither is it my place to judge him.

It is interesting how such allegations only arise in the height of his campaign, which generally denotes fraudulent accusations by glory hounds, though again, not my place to decide who is or is not telling the truth.

He was CEO of Godfather's Pizza, he was President of the National Restaurant Association, he is a fantastic orator on the radio, he is seemingly full of direction and ideas that make sense, even if he is not completely on top of foreign policy.

Let's face it, he would have been a FAR better President than that dipstick we have to put up with now who has contributed absolutely nothing to advancing our society or economy. At least Mr. Cain has managed businesses, big businesses, and done so in a positive manner.

I was going to vote for Mr. Cain and would have been thrilled to see him stand up and say "These allegations are not true and I won't let them hold me back." Unfortunately, he chose another path, which has me second guessing the support I would have granted him. I'd hate to have elected a President who would have backed down from greater fights... or bow to other leaders.

Yo ho you're 15 minutes is up move on. Camera hog there is no more money to be made here. Hey may be you can come out and say you had an affair with Obama, Clinton either one or better yet J Edgar Hoover. You're a ho and you know it.

What a crock. Let's just all say Herman has had a bunch of sexual affairs...I don't agree with it but so what! Powerful men, capable men like sex...some more than others...so what. JFK is still highly regarded as a President and the back door of the white house was sending women in and out for sex on a regular basis. The newspapers just ignored that kind of stuff back then. Who knows what really goes on in Cain's personal life...and, again, who cares. If it's all true...he should have just come out and said YUP..I did it and move on to the issues at hand. It's going to take a strong, charismatic, unusual leader to help turn this country around.

There will be more of this sexual nonsense with those remaining in the race....let's focus on the issues of what will it take to turn our Nation around...the rest is simply garbage.

In Cain's case...not very capable in the bedroom....ole was laying there thinking about her dinner menu for the week....lol

IF I hurt anyone? You are kidding me, right? The apology to Herman's wife and kids is just too much, folks. I've got to laugh... Bottom line? How much money is she making off of this story? Is anyone checking her bank account, accounts of relatives to see what she actually made? I believe it has to be 7 figures. Anyone?

[mr whiteffolks]

Well Cain set ball in motion so he hurt his family ! All Cain had to do was mind his business and none of this would be going on !

Not sure how much ole girl made/is making.
Whatever the anount.....not enough.
Too become a 13 yr side trollup...and receive a lil $$$....have to reveal it to the world...and now discussing the bedroom intimacies...with lil to no regard for herself, her kids, her fam, or Mrs Cain's fam.

No amount of $$$ is worth it.

No sympathy from me either. She needed financial help...well hello sex for financial gain is prostitution. Here she goes again looking for some more financial help. Just another hoe in my opinion.

[mr whiteffolks]

11:05 AM on 12/08/2011

She needed financial help...wel­l hello sex for financial gain is prostituti­on.

Well she did no more than a stay at home mom or soccer mom does ! A stay at home mom receives financial support from her husband ! I'm sure the husband isn't supporting his stay at home wife because she knows her way around a vacuum cleaner !

Ginger White in effect did the same thing in that she had sex for money and Cain went along with it and initiated it !

Are stay at home moms hoes in your opinion as well ?

Big difference in my opinion of being the wife and being the mistress. Husbands legally have a certain amount of obligation to a wife. There is none to a mistress..unless someone chooses to be "generous". Sometimes women are stooooopind and think they can get the man. This women seemed to just be interested in money and fun and money. Hmmmm just can't find a reason to respect her or her actions.

Hey, Ginger, your 15 minutes of fame are up. Nobody cares about your little experience. Oh that's right, this is not the first time you have claimed sexual harrassment for money. Who will it be next time?
I doubt that Cain would have stayed at the top of the race much longer. He does not have enough political experience and too much common sense.

Cain needs to learn how to be faithful to his wife first !

It's a shame Ginger didn't come out soon enough to walk up to Cain during his holier-than-thou speech at The Holy Land Experience last month. Now THAT would have been worth buying tickets for.

I just want to make sure I get this right. It always happens--whether it's Tiger Woods, Bill Clinton, Herman Cain--in the height of their careers...

Some woman--or several women step forward "in a day of equality"--and portray themselves as heroes for "outting a man" who has been their sexual partner for a day...a week...a few months...or several years.

But how come, in a day of equality, these women, including this one, are portayed in media as patron saints, all the while knowing they're having an affair with a high-profile, married man--and the men are portrayed as scoundrels?

Am I the ONLY ONE who remembers and says it takes TWO?

And if the stories were properly reported and the women were held just as accountable as the men, they would never come forward because they would be portrayed in the media as "willful, accountable, adulterers"--just as the men are...instead of "innocent, naive, victims" of powerful men who took advantage of them.

What a crock of shirt!

[dtairtime]

08:46 PM on 12/07/2011

Exactly!

It makes women out to be too stupid to say no.

At least in most of these cases (and the ones both of us are referring to) they are willing participants.

[mr whiteffolks]

11:07 AM on 12/08/2011

But the men are guilty for letting themselves get caught in that situation especially when they are married men !

[jacksonwv]

02:31 PM on 12/07/2011

Ginger must have thought that television and newspaper reporters would pay her for her story. Why else would she do this? If she entered into an affair with a married man, she was just as disgusting as he was....and she isn't doing these broadcasts out of the "kindness of her heart". How insane to say "I don't want to hurt his family". She is a money monger and too lazy to work for it - easier to use someone to get it. Keep her off the news!

[mr whiteffolks]

11:07 AM on 12/08/2011

She claims Cain gave her money 10 days before she went public so if that's true up until a couple of weeks ago, Cain was still supporting her !

[Debbie Barrett]

01:17 PM on 12/07/2011

Why didn't Ginger told her story when Cain was Pizza CEO? Ohoooo there wasn't any fame to get from that. But now Ginger sees a little lime light for a gig to make some money from her Homewrecker affair. She might land herself a good gig

[H21960H]

He new gig probably will be "You can sleep with the person who slept with Herman Cain."

Never believed Cain from the get go. You could tell he was lying by his body lanugage. Typical.
