TheGrio’s Goldie Taylor took a swipe at Herman Cain this afternoon on MSNBC’s Martin Bashir for running a divisive campaign and proposing slashing Pell grants to students. “He’s alienated Latinos, he’s alienated African-Americans and he’s alienated every middle income family in this country who relies on Pell grants,” Taylor exclaimed. “Who’s going to be left? The smoker’s lobby?”
Democratic strategist Karen Finney agreed with Taylor that Cain wasn’t serious about getting the Republican nomination. “I think Herman Cain might be coming out with a new show because he’s become the new Donald Trump in the race and it’s hard to take him seriously,” Finney assessed, though she did surmise it might be because he’s raising money. “I think he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel that they’re not racist because they can like this guy, I think they like him because he’s a black man who knows his place.”
