And secondly, he most definitely does not speak for “the GOP.”

I'm sorry. When did that guy become "the GOP?" I missed that vote. https://t.co/0iTRx4gq94 @nationaljournal

@RBPundit @nationaljournal Whenever its convenient to place the entire party at the feet of a crazy comment… standard operating procedure.

Quite a pathetic little display.
National Journal editors need to deal with this https://t.co/xBOJWZzXQB. Embarrassing clickbait headline no whiff of truth.

The well-deserved criticism eventually prompted National Journal to wise up and fix the headline:
@nationaljournal CORRECTION: This post has been updated to reflect the source of the Ebola tweet highlighted by The Colbert Report.

But not fast enough to protect its reputation.
