Former presidential candidate Herman Cain hospitalized with the coronavirus.

Newsmax TV contributor Herman Cain was admitted to a hospital Wednesday and is being treated for COVID-19.

The former Republican presidential candidate is doing well and is not on a ventilator, his staff tells Newsmax.

Cain, who also is a regular guest on "Newsmax Now," joined Newsmax TV as a contributor in April.

He also hosts “Herman Cain’s America,” a weekend show that airs on Newsmax TV.

He is a survivor of stage 4 colon and liver cancers, so he might have a rough time of it. Tanuki Jul 2020 #17
So why would someone who survived cancer go to a rally, without even wearing a mask? LisaL Jul 2020 #25
He's also 74 years old! That alone should have been sufficient reason to exercise caution. Tanuki Jul 2020 #26

And I hope he gets better from this infection, too.

I wonder if his Newsmax audience will now be convinced that those Chinese virus hoaxsters have gotten to Herman Cain? Will there be a Cain mutiny against continuing his show?

.."Q: You are a survivor of stage 4 colon and liver cancer. But you say if Obamacare had been in effect, you would dead now. Why?

CAIN: The reason I said that I would be dead under Obamacare is because my cancer was detected in March of 2006."....(I will spare you the remainder of his b.s. misrepresentations of the Affordable Care Act, which he was itching to repeal)
