CNN Suggests Racism Behind Death of Dallas Ebola Patient

CNN Suggests Racism Behind Death of Dallas Ebola Patient: Minutes after news broke of the death of Thomas Eric Duncan, CNN anchor Ashleigh Banfield suggested racism might have contributed to the Ebola patient's death.

While talking with her guest about the possibility of a wrongful death lawsuit against the hospital, Banfield said, "You cannot rule out the notion that he had no Social Security number when he went to the hospital, and had a strong, thick West African accent. And his partner even said he's from Liberia."

Banfield is referring to reports that Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital sent Duncan home on September 20 with antibiotics.
