In her first televised interview ever, Gloria Cain, wife of Republican presidential hopeful\u00a0Herman Cain<\/a>, sat down with Fox News and said that the allegations of sexual harassment against him don\u2019t square with the man she knows.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo hear such graphic allegations and know that that would have been something that was totally disrespectful of her as a woman and I know that\u2019s not the person he is,\u201d she said, according to partial transcripts of an interview with Greta Van Susteren that will air on Fox News Monday night. \u201cHe totally respects women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cain, who has been married for 43 years to the former CEO of Godfather\u2019s Pizza, has been silent for much of her husband\u2019s race for the White House. Her last public appearance came in May when her husband announced his candidacy.<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cI looked at especially this last lady and the things that she said I\u2019m thinking he would have to have a split personality to do the things that she said,\u201d\u00a0Cain<\/a>\u00a0said of the allegations against her husband.<\/p>\n

Over the last two weeks, as the Republican frontrunner has battled allegations that he sexually harassed four women, Herman Cain has often mentioned his wife, saying that she is \u201c200 percent\u201d supportive of him and \u201c200 percent\u201d still his wife.<\/p>\n

The couple have two children, a son, Vincent and a daughter, Melanie \u2014 Van Susteren also interviewed them, and they said that their father has a lot to say, and that they are \u201cimmune to it,\u201d at this point.<\/p>\n

Like their mother, they have also stayed out of the limelight.<\/p>\n

In acknowledging that one woman reached a\u00a0settlement agreement<\/a>\u00a0with the National Restaurant Association, where he served as president in the 1990s, Cain said he mentioned to one of his accusers that she was about the same height as his wife, a comment that made it into the sexual harassment complaint, Cain said.<\/p>\n

Cain\u2019s wife, who is said by friends to be a quiet woman, and who is a registered Democrat according to her husband, has steered clear of the spotlight and has not assumed the traditional role of candidate\u2019s wife. Cain has said that his wife has been outraged by the claims against her husband. When Gloria Cain watched accuser\u00a0Sharon Bialek\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0news conference last Monday, she told her husband that the man that Bialek described sounded nothing like the man she\u2019s known for 45 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe things that that woman described, she said, that doesn\u2019t even sound like you, and I\u2019ve known you for 45 years,\u201d Cain recalled his wife saying to him after she watched the press conference from Atlanta. \u201cMy own wife said that I wouldn\u2019t do anything as silly as what that lady was talking about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cain said that she sometimes thinks about life in the White House.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I let myself go there, but then I try to pull myself back in that I don\u2019t want to start projecting too far in the future, because then I would worry more,\u201d she said. \u201cSo I try to take one day at a time and in that way, if, or when that happens, then I have faith that the Lord will have me ready to do what I need to do, to help him.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America! You are losing your freedoms, your children and your country.
