Herman Cain, the former pizza executive and Republican presidential candidate, died of complications from the virus, at age 74. Cain had posted a photograph of himself, without a mask, attending President Trump’s indoor rally in Tulsa, Okla., last month; it is unclear when he contracted the virus.

Agreed that is mostly inappropriate at funerals, but it sure did not stop Obama from holding a campaign rally with the honored Congressman lying in State a few feet in from of him. Disgraceful.

No one is "hung up" on Obama. What he did was disrespectful and he is still the God of your side of the isle.

Candidate Cain proposed a flat 9% tax rate on personal & corporate income and new 9% national sales tax. He argued that if a 10% tithe was good enough for Jesus, then 9% should be good enough for government!
Herman Cain was a breath of fresh air.

Actually he said that if 10% was good for the Lord, 9% should be good for government.
