The National Review Online is out with what it says is the full transcript of Cain’s “reassessment” call. Cain concluded by acknowledging the toll this is taking on his family, but by saying ultimately the public response will govern how the campaign goes forward:
“It’s also taken a toll on my wife and family, as you would imagine,” he concluded. “Any time you put another cloud of doubt, unfortunately, in the court of public opinion, for some people, you’re guilty until proven innocent. And so, the public will have to decide whether they believe her or whether they believe me. That’s why we’re going to give it time, to see what type of response we get from our supporters.”
