George Will: Herman Cain Used Campaign 'As A Book Tour'

George Will Slams Herman Cain's 'Book Tour' Campaign

George Will offered some choice words for Herman Cain on Sunday.

Appearing in a roundtable discussion on ABC's 'This Week' with Christiane Amanpour, the conservative columnist called Cain an "entrepreneurial charlatan" and accused him of being an opportunist.

"Mr. Cain, who used this as a book tour, in a fundamentally disrespectful approach to the selection of presidents," he said.

His remarks came in the wake of news that Cain is suspending his presidential campaign. Though the GOP hopeful enjoyed a brief surge in the polls, accusations of sexual harassment and an affair proved insurmountable.

The GOP candidate also came under fire for his lack of knowledge of foreign affairs.

If his campaign was just an elaborate book tour, it certainly wasn't a very successful one. 'This Is Herman Cain' only sold about 30,000 copies.
