From the article:
For Jeb Bush not to understand this – particularly when his own grandfather was not only a friend and ally of Dwight Eisenhower but a sitting U.S. Senator who apparently went along with his friend Ike’s mass deportation – is an amazing blind spot for a potential president.
For Bill O’Reilly to either ignore or not know about Eisenhower’s Trump-style deportation is amazing.
But whether Jeb and O’Reilly know about Ike’s “Operation Wetback” or not, the fact of the matter is that it happened. The fact is that what Donald Trump is suggesting was in fact done by Dwight Eisenhower. It was a big deal. A Very Big Deal. And history records that it worked.
“For Bill O’Reilly to either ignore or not know about Eisenhower’s Trump-style deportation is amazing.”
I do not find it amazing the BO does not know everything.
Bill O’Reilly was a tabloid entertainment reporter before he landed the Fox gig. I suspect the only things he knows about history are what his ghost writers on the killing books have told him.
That Trump suggested that Eisenhower did this is a veiled threat. That Trump knew this meant he likely also knew Grandpa Bush was for it.
Bush is running lame now. He should consider dropping out.
