McCaughey: "We Certainly Cannot Trust The CDC. They Have Been Co-Opted By The Obama Administration." On October 14 edition of The Sean Hannity Show, McCaughey argued that Americans "certainly cannot trust the CDC," because "they are now part of the White House lie machine ... pander[ing] to West Africa":


MCCAUGHEY: Well we certainly cannot trust the CDC. They have been co-opted by the Obama administration; they are now part of the White House lie machine. So when you hear members of the CDC say "don't worry, we've taken care of it," that is definitely cause to worry.

MCCAUGHEY: I can tell you that the people who are most in danger from Ebola in the United States are doctors and nurses and other hospital workers, and it is nothing short of a crime, an actual crime, to put their lives in danger in order to pander to West Africa.
