Former Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) speculated during an interview Friday that America would be unconcerned about the Ebola outbreak if Mitt Romney had been elected President.

“Gosh can you imagine if Mitt was the president right now?” Brown said during a Fox News Radio interview with host Brian Kilmeade. “He was right on Russia, he was right on Obamacare, he was right on the economy. And I guarantee you we would not be worrying about Ebola right now and, you know, worrying about our foreign policy screw ups.”

Brown, who is running for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire against Democratic incumbent Jeanne Shaheen, also recommended that flights between Africa and the U.S. be banned because of the Ebola outbreak.
