Ginger White's attorney, Ed Buckley, released the following statement on behalf of his client:
"Ginger White respects Mr. Cain's decision regarding his campaign and indeed would have respected any decision he made. That being said, she is disappointed that he has not apologized for the public statements he has made about her and other women who have spoken out. He continues to publicly disparage Ms. White and other women on his website, on his new "Women For Cain" website and in the media. Mr. Cain has repeatedly referred to Ms. White as a liar, as "troubled", as being "paid" to speak out and in other disparaging terms. His website refers to Ms. White as a "loser" and the others who have courageously spoken out as "vile liars," "evil conspirators," "socialist cohorts of Obama," "scum" and "pathetic and shameful women." We continue to encourage Mr. Cain to retract these statements and apologize for the way he has characterized these women in the media."
