Herman Cain, once a GOP presidential hopeful, has died from COVID … Cain contracted the disease after attending Trump‘s Tulsa rally.
The late businessman and politician’s death was announced Thursday on his website. A statement read, “Herman Cain — our boss, our friend, like a father to so many of us — has passed away.” Cain fell ill shortly after attending President Trump’s rally in Tulsa on June 20. Cain was hospitalized for about a month … getting oxygen treatments.
Cain posed for a photo, without a mask, at the rally with a caption that read, “Here’s just a few of the #BlackVoicesForTrump at tonight’s rally! Having a fantastic time!”
After the rally, reports surfaced that the Trump campaign asked Tulsa venue organizers to remove social distancing signs. Trump later canceled an Alabama rally out of fear of a COVID-19 outbreak.
Cain’s Twitter account had kept his followers up-to-date on his condition, a recent post read, “doctors say his other organs and systems are strong” and that “re-strengthening the lungs is a long and slow process, and the doctors want to be thorough about it.” The post added, “He really is getting better, which means it is working.”
Cain, once considered by Trump to run the Federal Reserve, is one of the highest-profile public figures to die from coronavirus.
