Cain’s junk issue
Woman vows to describe private parts of Fed hopeful
She’s fed up.
A woman who says Herman Cain engaged in an extramarital affair with her and denied it is offering to describe “certain parts” of his body to the Senate Banking Committee if he doesn’t withdraw his name from consideration for the Federal Reserve Board.
Ginger White said Thursday that Cain, a former restaurant executive and staunch Trump supporter, has no business taking a position at the most powerful central bank in the world.
“I ask Herman Cain, if I never had a sexual relationship with you, how would I be in a position to describe parts of your body that are not visible?” White, 53, asked rhetorically at a Manhattan press conference with her lawyer Gloria Allred.
“Do us all a favor and remove yourself from consideration for the Federal Reserve Board,” the Atlanta woman said. “You are a liar and you don’t deserve the public’s confidence in such an important position.”
President Trump announced April 4 that he wanted Cain to fill one of the Fed’s vacant board seats. He later said a vetting process was underway ahead of a formal nomination.
Cain, the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza and expresident of the National Restaurant Association, was a Tea Party darling who abandoned his bid for the 2012 GOP presidential nomination when multiple allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced in late 2011.
Sharon Bialek, a marketing professional, stepped forward in November 2011 to say Cain reached under her skirt and pushed her head toward his crotch inside a parked car after they met in Washington, D.C., to discuss her career in 1997.
Bialek said she was shocked by the overture and asked Cain what he was doing.
“You want a job, right?” Cain allegedly said, according to Bialek.
The single mom from Chicago said she spoke out after three other women alleged Cain harassed them at the National Restaurant Association, which he ran from 1996 to 1999.
When Cain denied any wrongdoing, White stepped forward and said she and Cain carried on a 13-year extramarital affair.
