http://twitter.com/#!/cajunscouse/status/519490861764472832 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 — Rev Jesse Jackson Sr (@RevJJackson) October 7, 2014 #NewsOneNow w/ @rolandsmartin Re: My #Dallas trip to ensure #ThomasEricDuncan receives the best medical care. Kill disease, not person.#Ebola. — Rev Jesse Jackson Sr (@RevJJackson) October 7, 2014 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 — AmericanMom (@_Americanmom) October 7, 2014 Ohhhhhh, right: It is NOW COMPLETELY obvious that this man will make ANYTHING about race. https://t.co/9Obm0DwWE9 @DLoesch @DanaTheBlaze — Lawrence B.Jones III (@LawrenceBJones3) October 7, 2014 @CBSDFW @LadySandersfarm @RevJJackson So now they are going racialize this medical crisis? Has he no decency?! — Ted H. S. Hong (@THSHong) October 7, 2014 @RevJJackson @pattyanntwittin He always has 2put his nose in2 anything where he can pull the race card Make sure the guys getting treatment? — Charlotte Russell (@charruss) October 7, 2014 @RevJJackson You are an Ebola expert?? Wait, you are a medical expert?? No….you are a race hustler and attention-seeker — G_unit (@G__unit74) October 7, 2014 What the fuck?! Is playing “healer” now? Not enough relevant racism to instigate today? @dickstrash @revjjackson @rolandsmartin — Vlad (@DrMakChu) October 7, 2014 Hey, he’s gotta go where the cameras are: I just arrived in Texas to go and pray with the family of Mr. Thomas Eric Duncan. pic.twitter.com/0ZHNJtj6hp — Rev Jesse Jackson Sr (@RevJJackson) October 7, 2014 Nice pic, Reverend. Gotta get that face time RT@RevJJackson: Just arrived in Texas to go &pray with the family of Mr. Thomas Eric Duncan. pic.twitter.com/2qRoVxad9H — Caris X (@CarisLen) October 7, 2014 @DrMakChu @DicksTrash @RevJJackson @rolandsmartin “Look, there are tons of cameras in Dallas! Let us load up and go!”…” at the request of the family” — Proud Infidel (@GeneJarman) October 7, 2014 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 — Boomer (@jeff_cornwell) October 7, 2014 @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 — Adam Jones (@AdamJ730) October 7, 2014 @RevJJackson @rolandsmartin Just what we need now. Jesse showboating in Dallas to save the world from Ebola. — Jim (@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. — Chad Hasty (@ChadHastyRadio) October 7, 2014 Godspeed, Dallas. *** Related: Twitchy coverage of Jesse Jackson Read more: http://twitchy.com/2014/10/07/just-what-we-need-now-jesse-jackson-all-set-to-battle-ebola-induced-racism-photo/
