Cain Accuser: ‘I Respected Him, I Looked Up To Him’

[one_voice]

Sharon Bialek, the woman who came forward to accuse Herman Cain of physically sexually harassing her in 1997 Monday, told CNN Monday night that she held Cain in high regard before he allegedly groped her in a car in Washington, DC.

“It was shocking to me that he would use that power in such a way,” Bialek told Piers Morgan. Bialek said she had traveled to DC to ask for help from Cain — then the president of the National Restaurant Association — in securing a job. She recalled thinking of Cain as “a powerful man” and said she “respected him and “looked up to him.”

There were few new details on Bialek’s allegation in the interview. She told CNN’s Morgan that both she and Cain had consumed wine during the dinner they shared preceding the alleged incident, which she said earlier today included Cain putting a hand up her skirt and pushing her head toward his crotch.

Bialek said she had one glass of wine but couldn’t recall in detail Cain’s consumption. She said it was “probably” two glasses.

The leading Republican presidential candidate putting his hands up a woman's dress and saying "you want a job right" is some sort of metaphor for the whole GOP economic policy.
