Anyone dying of this virus is a tragedy, including Herman Cain. [View all]

It's tragic that he stupidly bought into the disinformation. It's tragic for those around him who may have been affected. It's tragic for his family and friends.

The only bright side is that this tragedy might wake some people up. If a few more conservatives start wearing masks because of this, then that would be a positive.

But I'm not going to celebrate people dying, no matter how much I disagree with them.
