COVID Claims Mask-Shunning Herman Cain



Former Rethug Presidential candidate and right-wing Trumpist Herman Cain has died after being infected with COVID-19. Cain was seen without a mask among a number of other Trumpists at the ill-fated, poorly attended rally for demagogue and sociopath Donald "COVID Donnie" Trump in Tulsa on June 20. Cain had been hospitalized with COVID-19 since shortly after the rally.

The vast majority of the 6,000 attendees to Trump's Tulsa rally, which was predicting a ridiculous 1 million attendees, were mask-free. The rally was likely responsible for a surge in COVID -19 infections in the weeks following.  Also Cain tweeted around the time of a Trump event in South Dakota (the tweet has since been expunged): “Masks will not be mandatory for the event, which will be attended by President Trump. PEOPLE ARE FED UP!”*

Is it too soon to be on Screwy Louie Gohmert watch?

Live by tribalism, die by tribalism.

*BONUS:  Here's a screenshot of that deleted, prophetic tweet --
