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.

>> Is there one Democrat who stands up for America?

No. They all got run out of office for being too moderate after the Teleprompter got elected.

Megyn Kelly is about to show the new Commie lib scumbag ad that blames the Ebola epidemic in Africa on the Republicans. How low can the scumbags go? The only thing uglier than Ebola right now is the commie ‘RATS’ desperation. Commie Pigs. All of them.

I’m confused, do Democrats think a Temporary Passport Declining is worse than Strong Arm Robbery of a convenience store?

We should force these liberal idiots to stand in our airports to greet flights that come from West Africa. They should be forced to hug and kiss every passenger on the lips as they disembark from the airplane.

They tell you on an airplane that if oxygen masks deploy, you first put on the mask yourself, them help the struggling , frantic infant in your lap—otherwise , you both die.

0bama’s negligence on the border had already resulted in multiple deaths of children from a resurgence of polio.

Americans would need to catapult Ebola heads across the Patomic to get any simple Passport Restrictions.

this is Bush’s fault because he did not give enough money to Africa when he was president.

“How do we write the stupid F__?”

Easy! Just look up his senate page and write him. When you put down the address. simply pick a city with an appropriate Zip code in place of your own. Their system only keys off these two elements. You can even use your own street address, I do, and it works every time! I usually select “Other” for the subject. Since it’s e-mail, I often get a canned response so I know at least they looked at it. Avoid the terms FI and SOB, otherwise, have at it.

I’ve had my IP address or something tracked doing that but I’ll give it a whirl.

I’d rather just punch him in the face.
