Gloria Cain defends her husband

November 14, 2011 at 5:09AM

Two weeks after accusations of sexual harassment against Herman Cain emerged, his wife, Gloria Cain, has opened up publicly about the matter, saying, "I'm thinking he would have to have a split personality to do the things that were said."

In an interview conducted Sunday with "On the Record w/Greta Van Susteren" on Fox News, Cain said the descriptions from women accusing her husband of sexual harassment did not square with the man to whom she has long been married.

"You hear the graphic allegations and we know that would have been something that's totally disrespectful of her as a woman," she said. "And I know the type of person he is. He totally respects women."

Fox News released excerpts of the interview Sunday night. The interview is to be broadcast Monday evening.
