Ted Cruz Staffer Tweets, Deletes Ebola-Obamacare Connection
Nick Muzin, a senior advisor and deputy chief of staff to Senator Ted Cruz, is getting lots of attention on social media tonight for this tweet he sent out connecting Obamacare and Ebola:

The tweet, whether it was intended seriously or as a joke, brought on lots of mockery:
Is @SenTedCruz/@nickmuzin embarrassed by deleted tweet blaming Obamacare for US Ebola cases? Or just worried about blowback? I bet latter.

@robertcaruso @nickmuzin for most of recorded history, before Obamacare was implemented, we didn't have penicillin. #fact #tcot

Before Obamacare, we’d never had the iPhone 6+ @nickmuzin

There was never a case of ebola in the US, until Ted Cruz was elected into the Senate

UPDATE –– 10:29 p.m.: Muzin tweeted it was a joke:
Earlier tweet was a bad joke, my sarcasm did not translate well online. Deleted.
