Herman Cain to Hold Press Conference Today to Refute Accusations Against Him – 11/8/11

Herman Cain will reportedly address the media this afternoon at a Press Conference to refute accusations made yesterday that he groped a Chicago woman back in 1997:

CNN: Republican presidential contender Herman Cain will address the latest sexual harassment allegations against him at a Tuesday afternoon news conference, his campaign said.

The announcement from his campaign late Monday included a broadside fired at his first public accuser, Sharon Bialek, calling her allegations that Cain groped her after a 1997 dinner “false” and blasting her “celebrity lawyer,” Gloria Allred.

On ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Cain said the campaign would “set the record straight” on Tuesday.

“The feelings that you have when you know that all of this is totally fabricated — you go from anger, then you get disgusted,” he told Kimmel Monday night. “There’s not an ounce of truth in all of these accusations.”

Cain immediately released a statement yesterday calling the accusations “completely false.”

UPDATE: Fox News just said Cain’s Press Conference today is slated for 5:00 PM ET.
