Chris Wilson, a Republican pollster and former employee of the National Restaurant Association, said he witnessed GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain sexually harass a co-worker.

“Everybody was aware of it,” Wilson said in an interview on Oklahoma City’s KTOK radio.

The alleged incident took place in a restaurant in Crystal City, Va., in plain sight. Wilson told POLITICO “it was very uncomfortable.” It is important to note Wilson’s current position: He is a pollster for a SuperPAC that supports Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a clear rival of Cain’s in the race to the White House.
