Ingraham: Ebola Doctors with Obama Might Just Be Volunteers Wearing White Coats

On Wednesday afternoon, President Barack Obama invited several doctors and nurses who have traveled to West Africa to help Ebola patients to the White House, where he honored their service and praised them as “American heroes.” But conservative radio host Laura Ingraham thinks that maybe something else was going on.

“Are we positive that it was all volunteers?” Ingraham asked of the people surrounding the president during the event. “Could it have been some of the folks from Organizing for America just in the white coats?”

The host recalled another event during the promotion of the Affordable Care Act during which President Obama had doctors and other health care workers with him to show their support for the law. “I swear the White House has a wardrobe department,” she said, without offering any evidence to back up her claim. “They snapped up some white coats somewhere and they passed them out.”

“It looked really reassuring, because ‘we’ve got the white coats with Obama,'” Ingraham added, taking on the voice of an Obama administration member. “‘We’re handling this Ebola thing just fine, thank you very much.'”
