Good question! And it should only be a matter of time before we find out.

Because Jesse Jackson has made himself the latest weapon in the fight against Ebola:

Upon request of the family of #ThomasEricDuncan, going to #Dallas to bring comfort& to seek the best humanitarian relief America has to offer. #Tues

#NewsOneNow w/ @rolandsmartin Re: My #Dallas trip to ensure #ThomasEricDuncan receives the best medical care. Kill disease, not person.#Ebola.

Why wouldn’t Duncan receive the best medical care?

To ensure the best medical care? Because otherwise, he wouldn’t receive it? What exactly can YOU DO??? @RevJJackson @rolandsmartin

@RevJJackson You are an Ebola expert?? Wait, you are a medical expert?? No….you are a race hustler and attention-seeker

What the fuck?! Is playing “healer” now? Not enough relevant racism to instigate today? @dickstrash @revjjackson @rolandsmartin

@DrMakChu @DicksTrash @RevJJackson @rolandsmartin “Look, there are tons of cameras in Dallas! Let us load up and go!”…” at the request of the family”

But remember: This is about Duncan. For realsies. Jackson’s just the facilitator. Or something.

@RevJJackson @rolandsmartin Thank God!! Cuz the hospital simply can’t do it without you!! #sarcasm #racebaiter

@RevJJackson What’s your fundraising goal for this trip, “Reverend”?

— D3nT0n_G33k (@D3nT0n_G33k) October 7, 2014

@RevJJackson Dallas doesn’t need you. We have REAL experts and doctors. #stayhome

@RevJJackson @rolandsmartin Just what we need now. Jesse showboating in Dallas to save the world from Ebola.

— Jim [VidConnect vidp=’5627′ vidn=’3′ vidt=’default’ vidv=’xUBpoyKxArU’] (@Jmmc123Jim) October 7, 2014

Well, it gives him something to do in his twilight years.

.@RevJJackson Exactly how are you qualified to do that? Or are you just trying to stay relevant by capitalizing on the fear of the family?

— John Murphy (@johnmurphy) October 7, 2014

That sounds about right.

Thoughts and prayers out to the citizens of Dallas who have had to endure storms, Ebola, and now @RevJJackson who is visiting today.

Godspeed, Dallas.
