One of the women who accused presidential candidate Herman Cain of sexual harassment in the 1990s now works for U.S. President Obama.
You scoffed when I mentioned in this post, dated Oct. 31, that Obama was behind these scandalous allegations.
“Obama???? what makes you think its not his own party???” wrote loyal reader Carmez79 in the comment section. Another loyal reader, Jessie, commented, “I don’t believe for one minute that this revelation came from the Obama camp.”
According to the NY Post, Karen Kraushaar, a 55-year-old former journalist who currently works for the Obama administration, was outed yesterday as one of the three women who had filed sexual harassment complaints against Cain.
But wait it gets better.
According to the AP, after she settled her claim against Cain for $35K, Kraushaar then moved on to her next job where she promptly filed yet another complaint with the help of the same lawyer!
Kraushaar complained about unfair treatment, saying she should be allowed to work from home after a serious car accident and accusing a manager of circulating a sexually charged email.
To settle the new complaint at the immigration service, Kraushaar initially demanded thousands of dollars in payment, and a promotion that included a pay hike of $12,000 and $16,000 added to her annual salary.
Kraushaar told the AP she considered her employment complaint “relatively minor” and she later dropped it.
On Tuesday, Kraushaar conveniently could not remember details about her complaint and claimed not to remember asking for a payment or a job promotion.
Kraushaar now serves as a communications director at the Inspector General’s Office of the Treasury Department for the Obama administration, a position she has held since 2010. No wonder she declined to come forward after the news of the allegations broke.
Meanwhile, Herman Cain continues to lead most GOP polls, and his campaign has raked in over $2 million in donations since the scandal broke.
