Herman Cain and Nikki Haley: A Tale of 2 Accusations

So as many of you know Herman Cain just suspended his campaign for presidency (which for the record I didn’t support due to his thin resume—thinner’s than even President Obama’s).

He still claims his innocence regarding the affair allegations.

Although I have my doubts about most of the women claiming him as their sugar daddy, his reaction to Ginger White’s accusation has been suspicious, especially after she provide phone records and text messages.

If Cain was innocent, then why suspend his campaign over blatant lies? Contrast this with Nikki Haley (governor of South Carolina) when she was accused of having multiple affairs.

Instead of simply denying the claims and attacking her accusers, she maintained her innocence and threatened to suspend her campaign if the allegations were true.

Guess what happened? Her accusers had no evidence, and she was vindicated in the public. She’s now governor today (with more enemies than ever).

Did Herman Cain have an affair? The world may never know. But the fact that he is ending his campaign over “lies” is suspicious to me, and after expressing doubt at the accusations I’m now wondering if any of them had any merit.
