Republicans are pointing to Democratic operative Ron Klain's
background in politics -- rather than public health -- as evidence that
he isn’t up to the job as "Ebola czar."
The criticism comes after
the White House announced Friday that Klain, a longtime aide to
Democratic campaigns and a former chief of staff for Vice Presidents Joe
Biden and Al Gore, would oversee the administration’s response to the
virus.
“Installing
yet another political appointee who has no medical background or
infectious disease control experience will do little to reassure
Americans who are increasingly losing confidence with the
Administration’s Ebola strategy,” said Rep. Tim Murphy (R-Penn.), who
convened Thursday’s congressional panel on the administration’s response
to the threat posed by the deadly outbreak.
