African Ebola deaths more important than US deaths. Sen Chris Coons of Delaware
TWITCHY ^ | October 12, 2014 | Senator Chris Coons

Posted on 10/13/2014 6:28:10 PM PDT by Moseley

Democrat US Senator Chris Coons from Delaware Tweeted Sunday afternoon that Americans should stop "freaking out" about one Ebola death in America and should care about West Africa instead of America's safety.

NOTE that Senator Chris Coons is the Chair of the Africa Subcommittee of the US Senate's Foreign Affairs Committee. So Chris Coons is the Democrats lead voice on Africa in the US Congress. For the past year since the Ebola outbreak began in the Fall of 2013, Coons was the point person for the U.S. Congress who should have been paying attention to the growing crisis. Coons was asleep at the lectern when the crisis in West Africa was developing.

Now, Chris Coons is facing re-election in November 2014 and a challenge from respected Delaware Republican Kevin Wade for the U.S. Senate.

Republican Kevin Wade and Democrat Chris Coons will debate on Wednesday, October 15 in the U.S. Senate campaign.

But on Sunday, Chris Coons displayed a condescending and out-of-touch attitude similar to Barack Obama looking down on the American people in his Tweet.

Senator Coons -- agreeing with the New Republic -- characterized American voters' discussions and concerns about Ebola as "FREAKING OUT"

Coons also agreed with the New Republic that deaths in America are less important than West Africa.

Coons agreed with the New Republic that the U.S. Government should make West Africa a higher priority than protecting the American people.

I say we send all the ebola patients to his state instead of anywhere else.

By American he means Joe Sixpack and Jill SoccerMom. If he thought Ebola was actually threatening the elites, he’d change his tune.

I sometimes wish we could really cuss a storm on FR, because I have a rapid fire stockpile ready on this Ebola stuff. Obama should be frogmarched out of the WH by the military at this point.

well its like this, Chris..

I was sympathetic towards all those poor Africans dying of Ebola in Africa..

and then your negligence of our country’s security let one of them into our country ..a criminal who lied to get here..

as yet no Americans have died, but my thoughts are on my countrymen and women and children and now off the Africans so much..

You better start being concerned about Americans the ones you represent, the ones who put you in office and stop worrying about Africa so much...

I have been an advocate for a travel ban or failing that, quarantine.

There is a grain of truth in these statements, though, and it is this: IF the African epidemic grows to millions or tens of millions of cases, it will spread throughout the world and become endemic in many places.

This would be bad.

It is, therefore, in our interest that the African epidemic be stopped as soon as it is practical to do so.

With guns we always hear “if it could only save one child”

Why aren’t we hearing that about ebola?
