The Ebola outbreak has already been blamed on “climate change,”<\/a> and you might be able to guess who’s next in line for scapegoating:<\/p>\n\n\n

Ebola in the US and according to @CeasefireUSA<\/a> that means you should be outraged at the #NRA<\/a>. https:\/\/t.co\/G0A7Tlf0mp<\/a><\/p>\n

Really? According to States United to Prevent Gun Violence, yes:<\/p>\n\n\n

Ebola now in the US. Surgeon General should be leading the way on public health education but NRA stalled nomination. No outrage?<\/p>\n

So far there isn’t much outrage, but there is plenty of mockery:<\/p>\n\n\n

@ceasefireusa<\/a> Ebola's the NRA's fault? Hahahahahaha! Thanks for the belly laught!<\/p>\n

@CeasefireUSA<\/a> This tweet is a total crock of shit. You Liberals will undercut your own family members if need be. Unbelievable.<\/p>\n
