“The Secret Service’s public humiliation and the country’s first Ebola diagnosis–topics that would appear at least one step removed from partisan warfare–aren’t ready-made issues for the campaign trail. But in roughly 24 hours, one candidate has managed to insert both into his own race,” National Journal reports.
“Thom Tillis, the Republican Senate nominee from North Carolina, on Thursday called on President Obama to ban travel from Ebola-stricken countries of Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, arguing that people from those countries could be vectors for the deadly disease. Just a day earlier, Tillis chided his opponent, Sen. Kay Hagan, and Obama for the Secret Service’s litany of recent mistakes.”
“In both instances, the criticism made essentially the same point: The president can’t keep America safe.”
