Herman Cain’s Twitter account used after his death to bash Biden
Last week, Georgia businessman Herman Cain was memorialized after his death at age 74 due to coronavirus. Days later, his Twitter account, which still bears his name and image, has delivered a series of pointed tweets railing against the Biden/ Harris campaign.
Cain, who ran for president in 2012 on the Republican ticket, was heavily involved with politics throughout his career.One of his last public appearances was at a June rally for President Donald Trump in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Shortly after that appearance, Cain was hospitalized due to coronavirus. He died on July 30 from the virus.
The folks responsible for the late entrepreneur’s “Cain Gang” Twitter account are using his platform, targeting his more than 555,000 followers, to promote messaging about the upcoming presidential election. Several folks have responded with surprise and snark at one particular tweet about presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his running mate California Sen. Kamala Harris.
In addition to the tweet about the presidential race, Cain’s account, which is reportedly run by his daughter and family, took a jab at Paul Howard, who lost his seat as Fulton County district attorney on Tuesday.
In a post on the Herman Cain website, daughter Melanie Cain Gallo explained why it’s important to her to continue to push for Cain’s values and ideals by using his online presence despite his death.
“As much as we enjoy bringing you information about the news of the day, these are the things that really drove my dad, and he would have wanted this platform to continue giving people reasons to feel that hopeas we continue to tell you what you need to know about what’s going on in the country,”she said in a post.
