Jeb Bush 'patronizing' Hispanics by marketing 'over-priced' $75 guacamole bowl to raise funds

Sales of the pricey 'Guaca Bowle' bowl, or molcajete, will benefit his presidential run

The bowl is the most expensive item in his store, which just launched online

Critics are already calling him out for the surprising cost of the molcajete, pointing out that similar ones can be purchased for much less

Jeb is selling for a whopping $75.

Mr Bush's newly-launched online store offers 'Jeb!' T-shirts, baby onesies, signs, and hats - but it's his wittily-named 'Guaca Bowle' that's earned the most attention, and not for the right reasons.

In what appears to be an attempt to add a personal touch to the over-priced kitchen accessory, the website description explains: 'Jeb and Columba [his wife] love whipping up guacamole on Sunday Funday. Now you can get in on the act with this "Guaca Bowle".'

Mucho dinero! Jeb Bush is selling this $75 'Guaca Bowle' molcajete - Mucho dinero! Jeb Bush is selling this $75 'Guaca Bowle' molcajete - used for mixing and serving guacamole - in his campaign store

Columba Bush was born in Mexico - but it is Jeb who mixes up the avocado dish in his family, having recently told Jimmy Fallon: 'I make a pretty good guacamole.'

But despite Jeb's special guacamole bowl being sold for what many see as a far too extravagant sum, the website reveals to shoppers that it doesn't even come complete with 'Jeb's secret recipe'.

And, as many people on social media have pointed out, $75 is quite a hefty price for what is essentially just a simple stone kitchen tool. In fact, similar products sell for $34.95 at Crate and Barrel and $39.95 at Target.

High-end cookwear stores, like Sur la Table and Williams-Sonoma, offer molcajetes, the traditional name for guacamole bowl , for under $50.

Considering he probably grew up eating a rich man’s version of Tuna Casserole, this insistence on all foods non-Gringo is just silly.

Relax....did you not hear resident genius, GOPeer Karl Rove, say that Donald had "HUGE unfavorables"? Rove was so happy about it....even flashed his doughboy smirk.

Oh, well......Rove must not have known about this (smirk).

AMERICA'S OBSSESION W/ DONALD TRUMP (online dominarion)

Trump not only dominates Republican candidates in the polls, he's dominating them online, too. Trump was by far the most Googled Republican candidate in the United States during June and July, according to Google Trends data. The only state he didn't lead was Wisconsin, the home state of rival Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. (By Colin Daileda--mashable.com)

I guess these folks have never heard of PBS, that routinely over prices trinkets for sale to raise funds.

Hear any alarm bells about using this tactic to support furthering communist propaganda....

crickets.

That bowl is racist. Why doesn’t racist Bush sell watermelons to blacks for $75 as a fund raiser too?

I have seen a bowl very similar to that bowl at THE DOLLAR TREE. FOR A DOLLAR.

What is it about these slimy rich people that they can’t tap some of their own damn millions to fund their hobbies?

Typical. Jeb sees these as a means to an end.

At any price, it’s a sign of pandering, hoping idiots will purchase.

Like any Bush, he’s out-of-touch, and shows complete contempt.

Brilliant, Jeb Bush people, just brilliant.

I wonder if Jeb Bush's store pays any taxes on the profit it makes from trinkets like the salsa bowl?

Jeb is trying to be an entrepreneur like the Clintons. (How low class can he get? Not presidential material IMHO)
