Gloria Cain interview: Husband “totally respects women”

GlobalPost

The first televised interview of Herman Cain's wife, Gloria Cain, will air Monday night. Cain speaks in the interview to Fox News' Greta Van Susteren.

“You hear the graphic allegations and we know that would have been something that’s totally disrespectful of her as a woman. And I know the type of person he is. He totally respects women," she said, according to the Christian Science Monitor, citing partial transcripts that have been released.

“I’m thinking he would have to have a split personality to do the things that were said," she said.

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has been hit by a sexual harassment scandal that continues to grow larger and larger. Four women have come forward, claiming that Cain sexually harassed them in the past.

His wife has not played a significant role in the campaign to date, Herman Cain has said, because she does not like the spotlight.

“You will meet my wife publicly, in an exclusive interview that we are currently planning and anticipating,” the candidate reportedly told Fox News earlier this month. “She will be introduced in terms of some limited exposure. But it’s not her style for her to be with me on every campaign stop.”

Gloria Cain's last public appearance was in May when her husband announced his campaign, the Washington Post reported.

Herman and Gloria Cain have been married for 43 years.
