So ... do any of the reported "stories' contain any supporting facts? Or is it just all anonymous sources this and that?
Yes. Every one of them does.
Years ago, Herman Cain was accused of sexual harassment, by two different women. That's a fact.
The lobbying firm that he worked for, gave each of them a year's pay or mor, not to talk about it. That's a fact.
Cain left the organization before his contract was up. That's a fact.
When the information came out, Cain said that he didn't remember it. Then he said that well, yeah, he remembered it, but it was an "agreement", not a "settlement". Then he said he didn't remember ir. Then he said that they got "a few month's pay, for severance". Then he said he didn't remember it, again.
Those are facts.
When asked, by Fox News if he had ever harassed a subordinate, his response was to vigorously deny that he had ever done it, anywhere other than at that lobbying firm. That's a fact.
Other witnesses have come forward, claiming that they, too, have observed him harassing subordinates. Including recently.
And, now, he's decided that asking him questions he doesn't want to answer is a violation of journalistic ethics.
All of those are facts.
----------
Now, Cain's repeated claims that this is all being done by the Perry campaign, but he doesn't have any proof? Now, that's called "an accusation". (Or, more accurately, "a self-admitted, unsubstantiated, accusation".)
But Cain making the allegation without proof? Well, that's a fact, too.
