We’d better go to the videotape:

Transcript:

“They are doing what the public has been driven to think, and they’re appealing to the public, which I understand, and politicians should respond to the public, but they should respond to science first. And there hasn’t been a single scientist who’s come out and said that these people that come back from serving the populations in those three African countries should — unless they show symptoms — be under any particular house arrest or observation, and the lady in Maine shows no symptoms […] I think this has been strictly driven by politics and fearmongering and I think we’ll look upon it one day like Terri Schiavo.”

Welp, give Rep. Cohen points for creativity, at least. We never in a million years would’ve seen that one coming.

Well, for the record, at least one tweeter disagrees with that assessment:

Editor’s note: Ms. Schiavo’s first name was misspelled in an earlier version of this post. The typo has since been corrected. We regret the error.
