Herman Cain, former presidential hopeful who was once considered by President Donald Trump for the Federal Reserve, has died after being hospitalized with the coronavirus. He was 74.

Cain’s death was announced Thursday on his website by Dan Calabrese, who edits the site and had previously written about his colleague’s diagnosis.

In addition to his wife Gloria Etchison, survivors include his two children, Melanie and Vincent, Calabrese said.

Dr Carson released a statement today :

My friend, @THEHermanCain , was a prolific businessman, a stalwart of conservative policies, and most importantly he was a loving husband and father. My prayers are with Gloria and his family as he rests in a better place. His humor and vigor for America will be missed.

Please, then, tell us how it does work. Never mind, I’ll tell you: Your greasy, grimy germs stay in your mask and do not touch me or anything else, when you think you feel healthy but may be asymptomatic. My grimy germs stay in my mask and don’t touch you. Everyone’s germs stay in their masks and do not blow out onto things or people. What is so difficult to understand about that?? You folks obviously don’t get it.

Rest in Peace, Herman Cain.

You were one of a kind.

I so enjoyed your sense of humor,
especially when you were campaigning for the nomination.

I would have voted for you, too!

May you go from glory to glory in the Heavenly Realms!

Herman Cain was a talented man and excellent communicator. The world was a better place when he was among us. Godspeed.

We are absolutely heartbroken over Herman's death. Really thought he would make it.

Shook his hand at CPAC in 2010 or 2011... he had just brought the house down with one of his fabulous, hilarious speeches. I remember marveling how he was a Stage 4 colon cancer survivor, and contemplating a run for President. Not to mention his stellar business career.

We need many more Patriots like Herman, now more than ever. He will be greatly missed. Godspeed and Rest in Peace, Dear Herman...

LOVED that guy, I wonder if HE will lie in state at the Rotunda?

Our dear Herman won't get 1/1,000th the attention that St. John Lewis just got.

I recall when Herman Cain ran for President in 2012. We attended the FL GOP (RPOF) showcase and debate for the candidates. When Fred Thompson couldn't find his way off the stage (RIP), we quickly turned our focus to Herman Cain. He was truly inspiring. Mr. Cain easily earned our support and our primary votes. He won the RPOF straw poll.

Today is a sad day as we mourn the loss of a good man and a stalwart force for conservatism. RIP Mr. Cain.

The Obamaites were in a state of terror when Herman Cain ran in 2012.

They knew that Cain took away Obama’s ace in the hole:

“If you don’t vote for me you a racist.”

They went all out to get rid of Cain.

Soros’ Politico ran over a 100 articles smearing Cain less than a week.

Cain got the full Gloria Allred treatment, with bimbos coming out of the woodwork one after another to accuse him of doubtful 30 year old alleged ‘crimes.’

And, of course, as per standard lefty procedure, once Cain dropped out, not another peep was heard from the bimbos or Soros’ Politico.

The Party of Compassion, doing what it does best. Can’t wait to politicize Cain’s death, just to “score points.” Typical.

This tells you how sincere they are when they claim that black lives matter. Not Herman Cain’s.

Herman Cain had stage IV cancer at the time.

Yeah there is no information on what he took that I'm aware of on the net.

cornfedcowboy said, "Herman Cain had stage IV cancer at the time."

Very sad. HCQ/zink in combination with a few other drugs also helps kills cancer cells. I haven't looked into it for a while. The left will ignore this piece of information

Yes, I remember when you attended that event. Poor Fred Thompson (RIP). I think I voted for Herman as well in the CT primary, months after your FL one. It doesn't really matter, as our conservative / Republican votes here in The People's Republik of Connecticut don't matter at all, of course.

Some FReepers said Cain had recently been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. I don't know if this is true...

God bless you, and Rest in Peace, Mr. Cain.
