RALEIGH – Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Cal Cunningham canceled a planned town hall appearance as a second allegation against him was made public.
According to WUNC’s Jeff Tiberii, Cunningham backed out of a previously-scheduled appearance to talk to voters on Monday afternoon.
“I’m disappointed for the organizers who worked hard to put this together; also that we will not hear from Cunningham about sexually suggestive texts he sent to a woman (not his wife, nor mother of his children). Fascinated to see when he publicly addresses this,” Tiberri said in a tweet Monday.
The website NationalFile.com, which first reported the suggestive text messages, identified a second woman claiming an affair with Cunningham.
Erin Brinkman, a lawyer who previously worked on a campaign for Cunningham, said a friend of hers had been in a relationship with Cunningham since 2012.
“He’s been having an affair with a good friend of mine since 2012. Not the woman mentioned in the story. Needless to say, my friend was devastated. But my feeling is, if they’ll cheat WITH you, they’ll cheat ON you!,” Brinkman wrote on Facebook.
Yeah ... she's "devastated" to find out that the married man with two kids that she has been sleeping with on the side for years, now, has been "cheating" on her with a third woman, eh? WOW ... just wow!
Cunningham is married with two teenage children.
North State Journal has asked the campaign for comment but has not received a response as of Tuesday evening.
I feel sorry for Cunningham's wife and children. What a mess.
