Herman Cain has canceled his scheduled appearance on the Colbert Report Wednesday, citing “a last minute scheduling conflict.”
Show host Stephen Colbert had been hyping the appearance, which would have come after Cain challenged Colbert colleague Jon Stewart and amped up his rhetoric that critics have called anti-Muslim.
The Cain campaign says he would be open to appear on the show another time if the Colbert people are open to it, but so far no new date has been set.
