Ted Cruz Senior Adviser Connects Ebola To Obamacare On Twitter. It Didn’t Go Down Well
A senior adviser and deputy Chief of Staff to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) somehow connected Ebola to Obamacare, then deleted the tweet after a backlash on the social site ensued.
He later said he deleted it and that it was a “bad joke.” This “joke” follows the revelation of a doctor in New York City who tested positive for the Ebola virus.

It didn’t go over well.
There was never a case of ebola in the US, until Ted Cruz was elected into the Senate

@robertcaruso @nickmuzin for most of recorded history, before Obamacare was implemented, we didn’t have penicillin. #fact #tcot — Marc Solomon (@magicbravosolo) October 24, 2014
Before Obamacare, we’d never had the iPhone 6+ @nickmuzin — Hugh C. McBride (@hughcmcbride) October 24, 2014
He’s sorry. Unfortunately for Nick, nothing is “deleted” on Twitter.
Earlier tweet was a bad joke, my sarcasm did not translate well online. Deleted. — Nick Muzin (@nickmuzin) October 24, 2014
@nickmuzin You’re a fucking idiot. — Buck McCoy (@CueballAnusFoul) October 24, 2014
@nickmuzin you should probably get your resume ready — Drew (@drewgodawgs32) October 24, 2014
@nickmuzin Good call. But why stop with that tweet? — Brendan McKennedy (@OKehComputer) October 24, 2014
@nickmuzin CDC & our NY elected officials speaking: reviewing protocol & wishing patient best for recovery & #gop tweets this. Unreal. — Bill Davis (@BillDavisNYC) October 24, 2014
@nickmuzin nothing funnier than an American facing death… — Darinstrauss (@Darinstrauss) October 24, 2014
Well that went over swimmingly.
Before Obamacare, there were insurance companies that giddily hiked their prices if you had a pre-existing condition.

Anything connected with Ted Cruz doesn’t go down well.

might help if he’d release certified copies of his immigration papers, like part 5 of the form N-400.

I think cruz and his staff sit around a table and ask who can come up with the stupidest thing to say, once the “winner” is determined, the Friday tweet is created.

Instead of the Sunday Shows that seem to only pander to power, perhaps we would be better served, with the old political game show…
LYING…. OR…. STUPID?????
With a special voter’s addition; GULLIBLE …. OR…. SELF DECEPTION????

When we begin to think that the Republican stupidity has hit rock bottom, they prove us wrong.
