‘Zombie’ Herman Cain Tweets That Coronavirus ‘Not As Deadly’ As Media Said
The Twitter account formerly used by the late Herman Cain fired off a head-scratching message on Sunday, insisting that the coronavirus “isn’t as deadly” as once thought.
Cain died in July at the age of 74 after being hospitalized for more than a month with the COVID-19 infection.
His Twitter account ― now run by his family and social media managers ― tweeted:
Given Cain’s own cause of death, the tweet ― which was eventually deleted ― drew a rather stunned response from critics on social media:
EFFING IRONIC: a person (Herman Cain) who died of #COVID19 tweets from the dead to tell us that COVID is not as deadly as it is made out to be.
P.s. bonus for also tweeting a false “6%” conspiracy theory.
Please report this account below for “fake” name. Cain passed away. https://t.co/c9X3tk3ms8
