Cain died of coronavirus complications after attending Trump's Tulsa rally


Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez cited the death of businessman and 2012 Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain to swipe at President Trump for holding in-person campaign events amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Cain – a cancer survivor – died this summer of coronavirus complications after attending a Trump rally in Tulsa, Okla., in June.

Asked during an interview with Politico on Tuesday about the president’s campaign events held Monday in front of crowds of supporters in the general election battleground states of Minnesota and Wisconsin, Perez pointed to the Tulsa rally, which was the only rally Trump’s held since the coronavirus swept the country in mid-March. Public health officials have warned against large gatherings of people amid the pandemic to prevent the spread of the virus.
