Some of these comments make me think people are not getting the joke. Herman Cain is dead.

Cain opposed wearing face masks and social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. He attended the Donald Trump rally in Tulsa on June 20, 2020, and was photographed not wearing a mask in a crowd of people also not wearing masks. On June 29, he tested positive for COVID-19 and was admitted to a hospital in Atlanta two days later. On July 2, his staff said there was "no way of knowing for sure how or where" he became infected. Cain's website editor Dan Calabrese said, "I realize people will speculate about the Tulsa rally, but Herman did a lot of traveling [that] week, including to Arizona where cases [were] spiking."

Cain died of COVID-19 complications at the hospital on July 30, 2020, at the age of 74.

The Herman Cain story

Forgot the most important part.

His twitter account was still spewing out anti mask and COVID hoax propaganda after he had died.

It’s always “spoke to” which is technically not a lie.

You can talk “to” a tree or a braindead old senator for example, talking to something doesn’t warrant a response.

Ah yes, your old friend the human turtle. Did he reply or he just went 😐?

I bet he was using a ouija board.

We can only hope this becomes a tradition, and that - god willing - in a few weeks time, we can make the same with Moskou Mitch posting this about Dirty Donald.

Is this a fake account ? Herman Cain is supposed to be dead...
