The Washington Times floated a bizarre theory on Wednesday night, citing only a source “who is friends with the Cain campaign.” This highly reliable individual told the paper that former WH Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel forced a NRA employee based out of the Chicago office to leak the Cain sexual harassment story to the Perry campaign.
The Perry campaign is strongly denying the bizarre charges. Curt Anderson, the Perry advisor who the Cain campaign is accusing of leaking the story says that he’d “never heard any of these allegations until I read them in Politico.”
