Herman Cain is attempting to justify his recent Libya stumble. During a news conference in Orlando, the candidate explained that the question was “too broad.”
“The Libya question is the question was too broad,” Cain said. “I do admit I was a bit fatigued, but the question was too broad, so I paused.”
Cain went on to say that he asked the reporter to be more specific, but that part of the video wasn’t included.
“ I was trying to get him to be specific and he wouldn’t be specific,” he explained. “Then, I went on to say — they didn’t show this — if it were me, as president, I would have wanted to know more about the opposition because now we see that not all the people in the opposition are our friends.”
During the same news conference, Cain also clarified his Cuba gaffe.
“I was raised in this country, folks,” he told reporters. “I think I know that the language of the Cuban people is Spanish, but when you move up in the polls, every word, every pause gets fly specked.”
But the scrutiny doesn’t seem to bother Cain. “Let me tell you about the American people,” he concluded. “They don’t care about that stuff!”
