– took subject with Stewart’s impression of then-Presidential candidate Herman Cain. The one Black Every day Present author on the time, Cenac voiced his objection to the Amos ‘n’ Andy-esque voice in a gathering, prompting Stewart to get defensive and scream: “F**ok off. I’m executed with you” at Cenac. Stewart later admitted: “My ignorance of that dynamic had actual penalties.”
