Cain also spoke out on Tuesday regarding the left’s attacks on Manchin that claim he’s the “only” senator holding back the bill.

“You forgot about the other 50 Senators who also disagreed with the bill,” Cain observed.

It’s not the first time Cain has spoken out on political issues that have angered those on the left. In July, Cain went on “Fox & Friends” to rip the new woke incarnation of Marvel Comics’ Captain America, blasting, “I am so tired of all of this wokeness and anti-Americanism.”

“I believe the pendulum will swing back to openly appreciating American values, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights,” he added.

The Daily Wire reported what Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America from the new comic, states of the American Dream:

Here’s the thing about a dream though. A dream isn’t real. When we wake up, it goes away. And we’re left with this yearning inside. Like something was taken from us. … Lately, spending my days in this country, as the years march on by — I’m starting to think America actually has two dreams. And one lie. … The first American Dream is the one that isn’t real. It’s the one some people expect to just be handed to them, and then get angry when it disappears, when the truth is, it never really existed in the first place.

Rogers continues: “This is the white picket fence fallacy that, if we’re not careful, becomes nationalism. Jingoism. That dream isn’t real. It never was. Because that dream doesn’t get along nicely with reality. Other cultures. Immigrants. The poor. The suffering. People easily come to be seen as ‘different’ or ‘unamerican.’ The white picket fence becomes a gate to keep others out.” He adds later that the “lie is a real problem because it comes in the form of an empty promise. A while back, we told the world they could come here for a better life. But too often we turn our backs on them. Instead of a dream, they get handed a raw deal.”

In October, Cain weighed in on the news that the new Superman, Jonathan Kent, is bisexual, accusing DC Comics of “bandwagoning” and suggesting comics companies could do more to shed a light on “real evil” in the world, like child trafficking, and women being oppressed and killed in Afghanistan.

As The Daily Wire reported:

Cain, however, who spent four seasons playing the Man of Steel on television, Taylor’s decision is far from original. Cain called the move, “bandwagoning,” pointing out that other DC heroes — including the most recent version of Robin, Batman’s sidekick — have also recently come out as LGBT.

“It’s hard for me to keep track of all the different Supermen and the different worlds and adventures that he has in the comics,” Cain said, noting that “Son of Kal-El” is only one series of dozens featuring Superman, his offspring, and his partners. “They said it’s a bold new direction. I say they’re bandwagoning.”
