In Cain’s interview on CNN, pushing back against a woman who apparently will shortly come forward claiming that they had an extended affair, the candidate said “there’s probably an infinite number of people who could come forwards,” with such claims. However, he said, “so far all the claims have been found to be baseless.”
Questioner Wolf Blitzer asked him why these types of accusations were focusing on Cain rather than other candidates. The pizza mogul said, “I haven’t spent a lot of time thinking about whether there may be a racially motivated angle to this.”
