Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain responded to multiple allegations of sexual harassment at a press conference in Phoenix on Tuesday. “These anonymous allegations are false and now the Democrat machine has brought forth a troubled woman to make accusations,” Cain said. “Many of which exceed common sense, and they certainly exceed the standards of decency in America.” He made this statement same day that Karen Kraushaar’s decades old sexual harassment claim against the Republican front runner was made public. Todd Zwillich, The Takeaway Washington correspondent, and Ron Christie, Republican political strategist, CEO of Christie Strategies, and former special assistant to President George W. Bush, look at the latest chapter in the ongoing scandal.
