Here’s a pretty boffo Chris Christie interview this morning, trying to salvage his Ebola quarantine fiasco. It’s not surprising that he tries to claim he didn’t change the policy. That’s standard for pols, particularly ones like Christie. But he actually claims that the nurse was symptomatic for Ebola (not true) and had a temperature (not true). They held on to her for 24 hours and now that she apparently doesn’t or no longer has Ebola they’re letting her go. Its a tour de force of projectile nonsense, with a high viral load of derp. Watch.
