Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain struggled to keep his candidacy alive, denouncing the media and attacking rivals amid revelations that he was repeatedly accused of sexual harassment in his time as a Washington lobbyist.
But four days after facts came to light that two women had received cash payments after accusing him of harassment in the 1990s, Cain’s public image Thursday was still being tarnished by the threat of a damaging written statement by one of his accusers and his own campaign’s handling of the scandal.
“This will not deter me” in the race for the White House, Cain declared as he made a series of appearances on conservative media outlets. He repeatedly denied the accusations and blamed a political culture he said assumed guilt “until proven innocent.”
