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 --

Turning Point USA co-founder Bill Montgomery died of Covid-19 at 80, his ~ 26 y.o. co-founder Charlie Kirk took down some anti mask posts. TPUSA hosted the June 23 no mask Trump youth rally in Phoenix. Don't believe Montgomery was at Tulsa or Phoenix, but murderous behavior nonetheless.
Mart -- that's right. Chickens coming home to roost, or something like that.
Count me among the many who have said they are not celebrating Cain's death, but also feel a degree of “he deserved it” since he fully embraced the lies, deliberately engaged in risky behavior, and exposed himself and countless others to the deadly disease. He drank the FlavorAde and it killed him.
