Noah to GOP Congress: If You Move Ebola Money to Zika, It Might Come Back

‘It’s the kind of request only a fool would deny’

NOAH: "Now -- Zika is not just a problem for South America. It's a problem for real America because you know the U.S. can't stay away from the Olympics, people, because it gives America both a chance to win and a chance to go on vacation. And Americans love vacations. That's the reason why the U.S. has already brought back 544 travel-related cases of Zika back home. So now Zika is slowly becoming an American problem. And that's why White House has asked Congress to allocate $1.9 billion to help fight Zika and keep it from spreading any further. It's the kind of request only a fool would deny."
TAPPER [video]: "Congress has not yet passed the $1.9 billion in emergency funding to prevent Zika from spreading that the Obama Administration has requested."
STEPHANOPOULOS [video]: "House Republicans are arguing back there is plenty of money left over from the battle against the Ebola virus."
NOAH: "Are you (bleep) me! Ebola money is for Ebola. If you move the Ebola money to Zika, Ebola might come back. If you're in a life boat and you're cold you don't set the life boat to keep warm."
