Herman Cain’s problems with alleged sexual harassment against women recall the episode 20 years ago when Anita Hill accused Clarence Thomas, nominated to the United States Supreme Court, of the same offense.
The other day at a campaign stop in Kalamazoo, Mich., Cain joked with a supporter that perhaps Ms. Hill would endorse him – something he later felt compelled to say was “in no way intended to be an insult.”
A day earlier, Cain had to apologize for referring to former House Speaker Rep. Nancy Pelosi as “Princess Nancy,” a phrase many took to be sexism.
It’s unlikely that Herman Cain will again make light of Anita Hill’s experience 20 years ago.
“I think if you look at the concerns we have about issues like sexual harassment, if you look at the tragedy at Penn State, if you look at how people feel in general about this kind of stuff, it’s not something to be joked about,” he said on the Laura Ingraham show on Friday.
