Herman Cain the maverick American business czar and Republican presidential candidate who campaigned for a sweeping tax reform plan called 9-9-9 died Thursday morning after a monthlong battle with the coronavirus. He was 74.
Cain, who recently joined Newsmax TV and was set to launch a weekly show, died in an Atlanta-area hospital where he had been critically ill for several weeks.
He was admitted on July 1, two days after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
Ten days before, Cain had attended a rally for President Donald Trump in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

(21,478 posts)He won't be happy about this, since his rally is responsible, which of course he will deny. RIP, Herman. Hope you at least get a mention on Fox News.

(22,672 posts)It was all bullshit. But he didn't have the decency of remorse for his sins against his fellow man, even at the end. To him and his ilk, thoughts and prayers.

(15,354 posts)Maybe he would have died sooner.
After all, I'm sure he's one of those that would give their old life for the sake of the economy...

(18,837 posts)R.I.P., every single death from this is tragic, but we are still wearing masks, still washing every grocery item we bring into the house, still self-quarantining and going out maybe once a week at the most for groceries and errands. Every time we go into a store we pull out the hand sanitizer. We don't touch our faces until we are home and have finished washing whatever we bought and then wash our hands with disinfectant soap.
I don't know how many times people are going to have to see things like this before they stop railing against masks as an encroachment on their "freedom." I fucking HATE wearing a mask. I'd make a lousy superhero. But I put one on every time I leave the house because I refuse to leave this world as the result of my own arrogance in the face of what is happening.

(22,651 posts)But others, people who attend his rallies, serve him his meals, his secret service, his golf caddies- even his fellow Republicans- he lets them be exposed and risk death.
RIP Mr Cain, I never 'liked you' but no one should have to die because of the presidents actions.

(68 posts)He gleefully attended Diabolical Don's Tulsa Coronapalooza while ridiculing others for wearing masks. The cause of death should be listed as a combination of ignorance and suicide.
