Pro-Trump GOP Candidate Slammed For Suggesting There Was Foul Play In Herman Cain's Death

Pro-Trump GOP Candidate Slammed For Suggesting There Was Foul Play In Herman Cain's Death

On Thursday, July 30, former Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain passed away due to complications related to the virus.

Shortly afterward, ardent Trump supporter and Congressional candidate Angela Stanton King caused a controversy when she implied online that Cain's death wasn't accidental.


King wrote on Twitter that while Democrats and celebrities all recover from the virus, Cain (a Republican) died.

Therefore, they must be behind his death.

King later doubled down.

She claimed Cain couldn't have contracted the virus when he attended President Trump's Tulsa rally because "White folks" are less likely to spread it.

Though Black Americans are at higher risk of catching the virus for mainly socio-economic reasons, scientific studies show "there is no scientific evidence that White people are less likely to catch the disease and pass it on to others."

Of course, Twitter was quick to point out that 80-year-old Cain's death was not the result of a Democratic conspiracy, but likely due to complications from his recent cancer.


Many others found King's fondness for easily disproven conspiracy theories amusing.

She was charged and convicted of felony conspiracy before being pardoned by President Trump in February.

After using Cain's death to make an attack on Democrats, King then accused Democrats of using Cain's death as a political statement.


Ultimately, most people only hoped no one would count on King for any factual information.



The real moral of the story?

Wear your masks.

Democrats aren't to blame for Herman Cain's death.

They're the ones urging everyone to be safe.

The global pandemic is not a partisan issue.

Safety should be everyone's first priority, and many needless deaths will be avoided if people on both sides of the aisle take proper precautions.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
