“The direction of the country over the last six months … it really impacted my decision on what I want to be talking about every day,” Cain told Colin Cowherd on his podcast, “The Herd,” the New York Post reported.

“Let me be honest with you about my biases, my beliefs,” Cain said, according to the outlet. “I don’t want to hide them from you and in response I want to hear yours … the biggest mistake we can make is to box people out – tell them ‘you’re wrong, you’re racist, you don’t belong in the conversation.’ That’s not what I wanted to do, I want to be honest about who I was and invite everybody else to tell me how I was wrong.”
