Speaking to Politico on Thursday, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said that the women who have accused GOP candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment are likely “liberal activists” and official hyperventilaters of the first order.”

King continued, arguing that news outlets showed a lack of judgement choosing to publish the story.

“I think that unless we have one, two or three Anita Hills stand up and say ‘this is what I say he did,’ then it should’ve never been a story,” King said. “What are we talking about? We’re talking about a story about a story, we don’t know what the story is, we don’t know what the allegations are.”
