Said that COVID wasn't that big of a deal, then died of COVID. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Cain_Award

Then his twitter account continued saying covid wasn’t a big deal

Holy moly I didn't believe you until I checked Wikipedia. Was that tweet sent by a human or was it just a scheduled tweet that became unintentionally posthumous?
