Herman Cain, a 2012 GOP presidential candidate, is being treated for the coronavirus. A statement on his Twitter account called his symptoms “serious” but said he is “awake and alert.” He attended President Trump's June 20 rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

FILE - In this June 20, 2014, file photo, Herman Cain, CEO, The New Voice, speaks during Faith and Freedom Coalition's Road to Majority event in Washington. Cain is being treated for the coronavirus at an Atlanta-area hospital. That's according to a statement posted on his Twitter account Thursday, July 2, 2020.

Cain, 74, was hospitalized after developing “serious” symptoms but is “awake and alert,” according to the statement. Asked whether Cain met at the rally with other senior campaign or administration officials, Trump campaign spokesperson Tim Murtaugh responded that “contact tracing was conducted after the Tulsa rally but we do not comment regarding the medical information of individuals.”At least six campaign staffers and two members of the Secret Service working in advance of the Tulsa rally tested positive for COVID-19.

Thumper Minion stupidity.... Never will listen an learn ....WEAR MASK . A LITTLE DISTANCE ...smh at stupidity

Sorry to hear that! Let me place this mask on my face for humanity.

Maybe THEHermanCain should stick to shitty pizza and leave pandemic decisions to people who know what they’re doing

MikeStobbe Yup! Blame it on Trumps rally even though it is not clear where or when Mr Cain was infected. Also you state that “there is little evidence that the protests...caused a significant increase” in CoVid cases. But you go on to blame Republican Gov Ducey. Typical liberal horse shit!

Trump is tainted! Anyone following him is collateral damage! Bless his heart!

Can he sue? Did he sign the trump doc?

He should be denied healthcare. Let’s teach these turd a red-hat doesn’t stop you from getting COVID. I wish him THE WORST.

So we can now pinpoint where and when someone caught COVID-19? I didn’t know our medical community had made such progress with this virus.

This is exactly what happens to the maskless Trump supporters. Better watch out!

Good job realDonaldTrump

He deserves it

Duh. Per science. Why is this news worthy?

Thoughts & prayers

Black DUMMY!! Ha! Ha!

Good thing he signed that waiver.

Hope he didn’t infect anyone nice.

Gee, too bad

He was always a dumbell.

😆

after seeing cain during his campaign, he may be awake, he is not alert

Mr 999? Hope he recovers soon.

He has risen, my lord, Herman Cain! timheidecker

I thought they all went to the Rally daring COVID to infect them....COVID wins! TrumpisKillingHisOwnBase

Im sure guns, Bibles and for-profit healthcare will save him.

This man is among the most vulnerable. How can such a smart man be at the same time such an imbecile 🤔

9/9/9

He doesn’t deserve to take up a hospital bed. Put him on the street.

Or.......he got it as a result of thousands of people protesting like fucking canned sardines in Atlanta.

Blind devotion has consequences.

The only “good recovery” would be to disavow trump

He did a lot of traveling and it’s not sure where he was contaminated but....we’re going to report it was at a Trump rally. The media is sinking lower and lower.

Do they still think COVID is a hoax?

Tots & pears

Karma

Someone got a bad flu. Ok.

Gods will?

I pray for the healthcare workers who put their lives on the line for idiots such as this.

🤞🏼

Why would this be surprising?

Say bye to ANOTHER Trump KILL

More cases is coming!

Maybe he should have stayed home and not went to Tulsa I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong. 😷😷👌🏽TrumpVirus Trump2020 TrumpResignNow

And? You sound disappointed that a black man didn't die.

Absolutely no feeling sorry he got disease...many more will follow. Their decision.

You don't test GOD. It's the other way around.

The right group of people to get sick.realDonaldTrump VoteOutTheGOP VoteTrumpOut TraitorInChief

Some people call it “gods plan” i call it natural selection 🤷🏻‍♂️

Those darn Dems must have infiltrated the rally! That's the ONLY way coronavirus could have been in attendance! It wasn't even invited! (sarcasm sign for anyone who missed it)

We are 7 months in now. How many more people have to get seriously Ill or die? Covid 19 is real WearAMask

Hope he makes a good recovery

Don’t really care.

Good 💁‍♂️

I know this isn’t unexpected, but I feel so badly for him. Prayers for his recovery.

THE YouTube movie VIRUS 1980 GETS REAL!

That’s probably were you got sick

Did he go to a bar?

That don't mean nothing

Wonder if the doctors are wearing a mask...

Leave him be no wasting time treating

Ignorant republicans are now see the hoax virus. No laughing matter now High handed arrogance politicking will lead to sickness & sorrow the worst is yet to come - predicted to be worse than New York!! Covid-19 knows no boundaries.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Hope he gets well.

A man who did not make good choices. Sorry.

You hate to see it....

What’s that saying, something about reaping and sowing?

FREAKY IS IT NOT? Not that Cain is not a FREAK of the Donald TYPE!!

Isn't that special. Herman Cain.

Old “Shucky Ducky”

So, let me guess he has the best healthcare/insurance so it won’t financially ruin him when/if he recovers. Also, when/if he recovers he still won’t take a different stance than Trump. Trumpsters will be Trumpsters.

BetsieFl If that $35k desk is big enough . . . well you know where we’re headed.

Trump caused it. Is what A P would have you to believe.

Its almost as if this virus has no bias. Who would have thunk it?

What does Tulsa have to do with the price of eggs? Trump really threatens you!

Best news of the day.

Person attended Trump rally and was hit by a bus 6 weeks later. Must of been because of the Rally.

I knew it would be Trump’s fault coming fro A P.

this falls into the category of good news

Well I hope he recovers of course but this stubbornness to think it's 'freedom' or 'not cool' to wear a face covering is insanity. We have no shot to do another if we turn face coverings into a political game.

realDonaldTrump did you make him sign a waiver too Or can Mr. Cain count on your support to overcome Covid-19 illness he likely contracted supporting you?

Why not report where every single person was that contracted the virus. Nevermind I get it 😡😡😡

Dont sue please

It's a Greek play.

I bet he wishes he had worn a mask

microbiologyhappens

Ha ha

Good for him

Sorry not sorry.🤣

Many people are saying the death rate is low...well...I say it isn't fun to be in the hospital, in ICU, on a ventilator and you might just affect the ones you love and they might die. Also you could get a nice hospital bill at the end. Wear a mask, have liberty later when safe.

Have fun storming the castle.

12 days ago. Possible that is where he got it.

He was just tweeting against masks yesterday. Reality hits u fast. As a black man u should have known better. Shame on you. We don't claim u

🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

No words. Ok. Three words... Are you surprised?

Eat 💩

Wow. Who could have seen that coming

Get well soon

I do pray his recovery... he should speak out against Trump’s stupidity and how that put ppls lives at risk. Unless he thinks sacrifice his life is worth for kissing Trump A**

Mr. Cain. A true black leader. We need more black leaders that understand individual accountability.

And you have proof that he contracted it there, correct?

And remember...he is a doctor! How sad is that!

Sucks to suck

I give him a 9-9-9% chance of fulll recovery!

Karma is quite the bitch.

karma

He might be awake!

Hospitalized by a hoax Herman?

Right in the 14tt day incubation period for Covid 19. Let’s see how many more people are going to test positive from this Tulsa rally...

thoughtsandprayers wearamask

Low quality thoughts and prayers for this guy

Herman Cain can barely be described as 'awake and alert' when he is fully well.

Trump rallies are super spreader events. Not only did they not have a decent turnout, but they removed all of the stickers that were put up in the arena to promote social distancing. All because Donald wanted it to look crowded for cameras. Sick GOP.

The common cold, by CDC testing, is considered a covid case. Try reporting on that.

His tweet from a week ago (smh):

He was also vocally anti-mask. Seems like a relevant point to add to tbt The tweet.

Are you ill? do you know someone ill with COVID 19? Are you working? Can you buy groceries oay rent? Do you believe the media ?

Why hasn’t trump gotten Covid?

Hah! This guy was never ‘awake’!

uh oh

Relish the thought.

LOL. The same dude who said people are fed up with having to wear masks.

Thoughts and prayers? 🤣🤣🤣 covidiots deserve no sympathy

Is he going to die soon?

Death wish Republicans should be quarantined for our protection

Welp

So in 10, 11 days he went from infected to serious? He must have had the virus before he attended rally.

Je sta bene

Get well soon Mr. Herman!

So he had a 9-9-9 chance of catching the virus and showed it could be done. Bravo!

bet he wishes he wore a mask now. he’s an awful man & i don’t have any sympathy for him. i feel bad for all the people he possibly infected though, he was everywhere.

It's questionable if Cain has ever been 'awake and alert'

Stupid is as stupid does. Or something.

No one who attends his rallies is particularly alert.

This has been a very stressful full 2 weeks I recently lost my job due to the virus I’m struggling to pay my rent let alone put food on my table if anybody would be willing to help even if its 1$ I would be forever thankful God Bless Venmo Alexander-Fairbourn CashApp-Alexzander47

I would laugh, but then I’d be just like them DontBeLikeThem

I bet COVID-19 wiped that smile right off his dumb face.

Nein! Nein! Nein!
