Cain Makes Joke About ... Anita Hill

Herman, Herman, Herman... Just one day after Herman Cain apologized for referring to Nancy Pelosi as “Princess Nancy,” he stepped in it again with a joke about Anita Hill. That’s right: Cain, facing allegations of sexual harassment, made a joke about the woman who accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. The presidential contender was at a campaign stop in Michigan yesterday when someone mentioned Hill. A Fox News camera caught Cain responding, “Is she going to endorse me?” to laughter.

The New York Times quotes a spokesperson who says, “It was a joke” and that Cain was “repeating what a supporter said.” Click to see how Cain’s “scandal” has (not) affected his fundraising. (More Herman Cain 2012 stories.)
