Tavis Smiley rips Bill Kristol: You are ‘the worst of America’ for using Ebola in politics

[kpete]

PBS host Tavis Smiley on Sunday lashed out at Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol over suggestions that counties in Africa experiencing Ebola outbreaks be “quarantined.”

During a panel discussion on ABC News, Kristol argued that Republican candidates could win by mentioning that President Barack Obama had not banned travel from African countries because “it’s a pretty easy criticism to make.”

“The president has been blamed for everything else, Bill. Why should he not be blamed for the spread of the Ebola virus?” Smiley snarked in response. “This is the worst of America when we politicize issues like this. These are life and death issues… It underscores the worst and the darkest side of our media culture and our body politic.”


“But I’ve kind of had it, respectfully, Bill, with these arguments that we ought to quarantine certain countries in Africa,” he continued. “You can quarantine individuals, you can’t quarantine countries.”
