The coronavirus took the life of Herman Cain, but it left his Twitter account behind! Successful businessman and former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain lost his battle with COVID-19 on July 30. On Wednesday, a message appeared on his Twitter account after Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, announced Tuesday afternoon that Sen. Kamala Harris is his running mate
.After the eerie Twitter post appeared, it caught people by surprise.
But, alas! Quickly after Twitter started responding to the use of a dead man’s Twitter account being used for political purposes, Cain’s daughter wrote a post on her father’s website.
“Hello. I’m Dr. Melanie Cain Gallo, and I am proud to say that Herman Cain was my dad. He believed in using his voice to teach, enlighten and give hope. It’s one of the ways he used this web site every day, and he wouldn’t have wanted that work to stop with his passing.
“First, the site and our social media platforms will now go under the name The Cain Gang. Dad came up with this name himself. He truly valued the sharp, creative, insightful minds of his editorial team and he would not want them to stop doing what they do best! As usual, he had the best branding ideas and we see no reason to try to improve on it.”
