didnt speak back ofc as hes dead...thoughts & prayers talk maybe?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 points 29 minutes ago* (last edited 28 minutes ago)

Herman Cain is also dead. He was a Covid denier that died of Covid. They spoke together in Hell.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They have to realize that so many of them posting that they've talked to him is having the opposite effect they intend right?

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 28 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

You know Herman Cain is dead, right?

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

I don't even know who herman cain is, but that makes this funnier, thanks for clarifying 🤣.

In either case, real and currently live people are doing this.

No, he just spoke with Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior senator from Kentucky

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 32 minutes ago

Yeah, figured they were both in Hell. That's how they talked.

[–] gallopingsnail 45 points 20 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] Professorozone@lemmy.world 2 points 23 minutes ago

Right. Got it. So I was right. They are talking in Hell.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago

That he got from a superspreader Trump rally, no less.

[–] VinegarChunks@lemmus.org 18 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] RichardNixos@lemmy.ml 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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?

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 8 points 14 hours ago

Considering there are so few black people in the GQP that they kept running his account even after that, I'd say someone made the decision to keep downplaying covid on his page and didn't care about the optics.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I thought the joke was pretty blatant, but god damn, lots of woosh going on here.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

If you're not US american you probably won't know who this is. I have myself never heard of him.

[–] Malyca@lemmy.zip 2 points 7 hours ago

For those that don't know him, I highly recommend looking into him. Endlessly entertaining.

This just reminded me that it's almost been a full year since Charlie Kirk said something racist.

Some dude who leaned left at a college campus.

[–] Inucune@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He did lean to the left, and the media stopped reporting anything he said afterwards.

I still think it is great he got to live out his percicution fantasy before God called him home... Possibly nitro express.

Cool. The question was, did he respond?

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 184 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

The joke is that Herman Cain (the tweeter) died of covid a few years ago.

[–] lemmyng@piefed.ca 104 points 1 day ago (4 children)

And his Twitter account kept posting antivax messages after he passed.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Man, he really is committed

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

It's that or Republican staffers are grotesque mockeries of human beings.

Could you imagine being this actor (Terry Kiser)?

"We want you to play a dead guy for the entire film. The title character. You have like 10 minutes of being an alive jerk, then you just spend the rest of the movie limp. Lay on sofas and chairs a lot, lean on a few walls, get carried around, do absolutely nothing. Here's your paycheck."

"Wow, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity as an actor to get paid to do nothing!"

"Good news! SEQUEL!"

[–] EpeeGnome@feddit.online 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The role also required a high pain tolerance, as both he and his stunt double were dropped repeatedly while filming and had to stay limp to not ruin the take. I read Kiser ended up with 3 cracked ribs and some nerve issues that took a while to heal from his neck flopping around so much. He more than earned his paycheck.

Well that is way less fun

This is, in fact, how normal human people talk. I am now convinced they are not engaged in a deception.

I forgot who this loser was.

[–] chaogomu@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

The first winner of the famous Herman Cain award during COVID. Awarded posthumously.
