Yesterday, Thomas Duncan, the Liberian man who was diagnosed with Ebola, passed away in a Dallas hospital. That news was followed by a chorus of people blaming racism for Duncan’s death.
Does Geraldo Rivera agree?
Real shame of Dallas: Ebola fatality Thomas Duncan turned away from Presbyterian Hospital-Was it because he was too poor, black & uninsured?

Duncan was later re-admitted to the hospital where he was treated until succumbing to the Ebola virus. However, leave it to pot-stirrers to turn it into an insurance issue, or worse.

@GeraldoRivera … Trying to shame a hospital? Are you also able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?

@GeraldoRivera wasn't turned away. He was treated and released. Stop trying to make a story from something that doesn't exist.

@GeraldoRivera nothing like starting the day with a little race baiting. Do u really think if they thought Ebo they would have sent him home
