At his press conference Tuesday, Herman Cain said he had no idea who Sharon Bialek is and claimed to have never seen her face until she stood next to Gloria Allred and accused him of reaching his hand up her skirt in a parked car after a 1997 dinner.

Today, Bialek said Cain is a liar.

Bialek explained away a report circulating among Cain defenders that she was spotted hugging him at a tea party rally in Chicago in September.

She said it was not a hug, but it was a close conversation to “jog [Cain’s] memory.”

“There was no hugging involved,” Bialek said. She said Cain “acknowledged who I was.”
