VIDEO: Gloria Cain Stands by Her Husband

Herman and Gloria Cain (Google)

In an interview with Greta Van Susteren on Fox News, Gloria Cain, the wife of the presidential hopeful, stood by his side

She said that Herman Cain's conscience would not allow him to deceive her to such a degree and she doesn't believe the multiple sexual harassment allegations against him. The following transcript is from Mediaite:

"I think I was in shock because I didn't see it coming," Cain told Van Susteren about the allegations. After a while, she decided "not to watch any more news, and I could tell my spirit started to lift." Despite that, however, Gloria Cain and her children had to face the scrutiny of her neighbors, which she found particularly difficult. What those "throwing mud" on her husband didn't realize, she explained, was that she and her children and everyone who knows him had to live with the repercussions of her actions.

As for the allegations themselves, Cain said she didn't believe a word. "The person they're talking about, I don't know who that is, and if I haven't seen parts of that person in 43 years, I don't think I'm that simple that I would miss something that significant." She did say that the initial story about a settlement "rang a bell," and that she did think her husband said something, but benign. "If a person is so hurt [or] traumatized because of something that happened to you, why would you wait 15 years to say something about it?" But she was much more understanding of that situation than of the allegations made by Sharon Bialek. "Now that one I totally don't believe," she told Van Susteren. She described Herman Cain as "so old school ... and old school people think they're supposed to be women protectors."

Indeed, Gloria Cain was wise to speak out and address the sexual harassment allegations against her husband. She appeared truthful and seems dedicated to her family. We wish her luck.
