🐱 Herman Cain Dies from Coronavirus

Herman Cain dies from coronavirus

His diagnosis came less than two weeks after attending Trump's Tulsa rally.

Former Republican presidential candidate and ex-CEO of Godfather's Pizza Herman Cain, 74, has died almost a month after being hospitalized for coronavirus.

The big picture: Cain, the co-chair of Black Voices for Trump, was in a high-risk group due to his history with cancer. Cain's positive coronavirus test came less than two weeks after he attended President Trump's controversial campaign rally in Tulsa, where he tweeted a picture of himself without a mask.

• Public health officials had warned that the large-scale rally could infect many and put lives at risk.
• It's unclear whether Cain contracted the virus at the Trump rally.
• While in the hospital, Cain commented on a July 4 celebration at Mt. Rushmore, tweeting: "Masks will not be mandatory for the event, which will be attended by President Trump. PEOPLE ARE FED UP!"

What they're saying:

Let me deal with some of the particulars of the last few weeks. We knew when he was first hospitalized with COVID-19 that this was going to be a rough fight. He had trouble breathing and was taken to the hospital by ambulance. We all prayed that the initial meds they gave him would get his breathing back to normal, but it became clear pretty quickly that he was in for a battle.

We didn’t release detailed updates on his condition to the public or to the media because neither his family nor we thought there was any reason for that. There were hopeful indicators, including a mere five days ago when doctors told us they thought he would eventually recover, although it wouldn’t be quick. We were relieved to be told that, and passed on the news via Herman’s social media. And yet we also felt real concern about the fact that he never quite seemed to get to the point where the doctors could advance him to the recovery phase.

Antifa rallies have a death count too, but nevermind the bullet-ridden Jeeps. Orange man bad.

Spoiler: Edit: This is the headline I was originally reacting to

as posted below, it was changed after the fact.

F for Based Black Man

Yet still, not a single case of Coronachan can be attributed to the Riots of Peace.

 

[Buttigieg2020]

• It's unclear whether Cain contracted the virus at the Trump rally.

That’s an awfully important little detail given the headline.

 

[SIGSEGV]

What about all of the trans women literally driven to suicide by Trump's rallies? Are their lives not important enough to count?

 

[BOONES]

RIP based ex ceo of godfathers pizza.

I hope theres a slice of heaven for you.

 

[Psychic Espeon]

Herman Cain?

That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.

 

[Fanatical Pragmatist]

RIP

I can already hear the smug redditors chuckling.

 

[X Prime]

That’s an awfully important little detail given the headline.

The headline of the thread, or the actual article headline?

EDIT: For posterity, then:

Now:

 

[DocHoliday1977]

Rest in peace, Mr. Cain.

 

[HarveyMCR]

Rest In Peace man. I genuinely liked him and his tax reforms. It’s a shame he passed

 

[Flexo]

Rest In Peace man. I genuinely liked him and his tax reforms. It’s a shame he passed

This.

 

[Analog Devolved]

Rest in power, King.

 

[The Last Stand]

Black Republicans are a rarity. I suppose he made history as John Lewis did as a Black politician. I won't gravedance about Corona here, that's distasteful.

Hope his family will find peace.

 

[Wheezy Asthmatic]

I kinda figured this would happen as soon as I heard the diagnosis. I was still a kid when he got diagnosed with cancer & I remember how big of a deal it was back then. Typically when you hear someone has Stage IV colon cancer, that's basically a death sentence so people were astonished when he wound up beating it.

Not this time though.
RIP.

 

[TheProdigalStunna]

Life can be a challenge. Life can seem impossible. It's never easy when there's so much on the line. But you and I can make a difference. There's a mission just for you and me....Just look inside and you will find just what you can do.

 

[Reverend]

That’s an awfully important little detail given the headline.

Facts don't matter to MSM only feelings and assumptions.

 

[Meat Pickle]

The same people who are paying respect to Cain are also the people who grave-danced on Elijah Cummings

 

[X Prime]

Facts don't matter to MSM only feelings and assumptions.

When he made that post, the thread had a fake headline made by Catparty.

‘Murder or suicide’: Trump faces immediate backlash for Tulsa rally after Herman Cain dies of COVID


President Donald Trump felt immediate backlash on Thursday after a former Republican presidential candidate who attended his Tulsa campaign rally died from COVID-19.

Representatives for Herman Cain confirmed that the 74-year-old former GOP candidate died this week from complications due to COVID-19. Cain was thought to have contracted the disease while attending Trump’s recent rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.




Twitter users swiftly blamed the president for Cain’s death.


“Herman Cain’s death has gotta be on Trump’s hands, right?” one person asked.




“There is no way to spin this,” Dave Zirin noted.

“Basically, Donald Trump killed Herman Cain,” Roland Scahill lamented.

(And then a bunch of ghoulish tweets that’ll get deleted probs)
