Pollster Whose Firm has Done Work for Pro-Perry PAC Claims He Witnessed Cain Harassment Incidents in the 1990′s – Audio – 11/2/11

Interesting development. It seems a man has come forward to say he witnessed Herman Cain harassing the two women who accused him of harassment back in the 1990′s at the National Restaurant Association. That man’s name is Chris Wilson, who was a pollster for the Restaurant Association at the time. It just so happens, coincidentally of course, that Wilson now sometimes does polling work for – a pro-Rick Perry PAC, according to Hot Air’s Ed Morrissey:

ED MORRISSEY AT HOT AIR: So far, neither of the two alleged complainants from Herman Cain’s tenure at the National Restaurant Association have come forward publicly, although it appears at least one would like NRA to release her from her confidentiality agreement to do so. However, a pollster who worked for NRA at the time told KTOK in Oklahoma that he witnessed both incidents — and that if the women talk, Cain’s candidacy would be over . . . However, Wilson isn’t only linked to NRA and Cain from years gone by. His firm has conducted polling in this presidential race for the Make Us Great Again PAC. And guess which candidate is favored by MUGA-PAC? Why, none other than … Rick Perry. The PAC has no formal connection to Perry’s campaign, but it’s certainly boosting Perry as the Republican nominee in the primary.

NOTE: Headline changed to clarify that pollster’s firm has done work for a Pro-Perry PAC, not the Perry Campaign. Also added audio of his remarks.

UPDATE: Wilson has told the Weekly Standard he had absolutely nothing to do with the Politico story on Cain.
