Nick Muzin, a senior advisor and deputy chief of staff for strategy to Republican Senator Ted Cruz, posted a tweet on Thursday night suggesting that Obamacare was somehow responsible for the spread of Ebola:

— Adam Weinstein (@AdamWeinstein) October 24, 2014 Muzin, deploying the kind of wisdom and political foresight you expect from a senior advisor to a potential presidential candidate, quickly decided to delete the tweet.
It is not clear exactly how President Obama’s health care reform legislation would have caused the Ebola outbreak in West Africa that has since spread in a handful of cases to the United States, but presumably Muzin is holding back the answer for after the midterm elections.
UPDATE: Muzin has published a second tweet calling the first one a “bad joke,” and an attempt at sarcasm:
Earlier tweet was a bad joke, my sarcasm did not translate well online. Deleted.
