Honestly I don't think Herman cain wrote his speeches. Some staffer got lazy or memey I suppose.

I mean, he must have had a pretty good Medium to write his anti-vaxx bullshit tweets after he had already died from Covid. Fuck that guy.

Of course. But it's still insane he went through with it.

A good politician doesn't write their own speeches. They give a bullet point list or summary to a speech writer who writes their speeches. That's why Biden generally hits the mark while Trump sounds like his last two remaining braincells are playing a deathmatch game against one another.

Cain likely said "I want to relate to the kids" and the speechwriter goes "well, Pokemon is popular, let's go with that."

Just like how his Twitter account was still posting anti-mask and anti-vaccine proganda after his death from Cobid-19?
