Conservative columnist George Will believes that Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's sexual harassment scandal is a "test" for Republicans.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Thursday night blasted Herman Cain for the way he has handled the ongoing sexual harassment scandal. Cain's lawyer said any woman who is considering coming forward with new allegations against the embattled Republican presidential candidate should "think twice." In addition, Cain's campaign has set up a website attacking one of his four accusers.
The Herman Cain sexual harassment scandal has reached what Daily Show host Jon Stewart calls Stage Four: The Press Conference trying to undo the damage done by how badly we handled stages One through Three. Stage One being "I have no idea what you're talking about", Stage Two, later that same day, "Oh, that thing!" and Stage Three which is to go around refusing to talk about the thing that you haven't been talking about.
In this clip from Thursday's Colbert Report, Stephen decides that what the Colbert Super PAC needs to catch up to the "Cain Train" is its own sexual harassment scandal. Cain's fundraising has in fact increased since allegations of inappropriate conduct on the candidate's part have surfaced.
In a bizarre twist, Herman Cain discussed the sexual harassment allegations leveled against him in an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller's Ginni Thomas. Thomas, of course, is the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who faced his own explosive sexual harassment scandal 20 years ago.
