Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush vowed to keep speaking Spanish on the campaign trail and dismissed Donald Trump’s attacks on his bilingualism as “bizarre” and “offensive” after a town hall event here last night.
“I’ll keep doing it,” Bush told reporters. “This is nothing unusual. Taking this to the logical conclusion, I guess no more French classes for people in public schools. German — no, we can’t have that. … This is kind of bizarre, to be honest with you. It sends a pretty ugly signal to people that somehow we’re creating a different standard for one group against the other.”
Trump has said Bush should “set the example” by “speaking English while in the United States.”
Bush also laid into Trump for recently retweeting another person’s comment that he “speaks Mexican.”
“Those are dog-whistle terms,” Bush said. “He knows what he’s doing. These are very divisive terms. If we’re going to win elections, we need to be much more open and hopeful and optimistic than sending signals to prey on people’s angst.”

If English isn’t good enough for Yebbie Boosh, then Yebbie Boosh isn’t good enough for me.
Or, just tell your momma you really really don't wanna be president.
RETURN Jebby Bush to MEXICO....NOW!!!!!
What is offensive is a candidate who wants to be President campaigning in a foreign language that most Americans don’t understand.
If ¡Yeb! wants to be President of a Spanish speaking country he should move to one and not try to turn this one into one.
Hey Jeb!
It is RACIST to deny assimilation of immigrants, thereby ensuring they will never have equal access to the best employment opportunities.
Maintaining cultural isolation only ensures a SLAVE workforce, at SLAVE wages.
Poor Yeb doesn’t understand that a candidate taking and answering questions in Spanish is an insult to the 90+ percent of Americans who don’t speak it.
” I guess no more French classes for people in public schools. German — no, we can’t have that....”
What does that have to do with anything?
Jeb Bush is like a caught fish flopping around on the deck of a boat as he tries to counter Trump’s criticisms. Pathetic.
Meanwhile, a Christian is in jail for obeying God’s and her state’s law.
Like a little child. Who is Jebby trying to impress? Regardless, it is working to take him down in the ratings. All he has been running on is his name and lots of “cheap labor, open border” donor money.
Save your money Jebby, and go fishing.
Meanwhile, a Christian is in jail for obeying God’s and her state’s law.
Boosh is a wooss.
Jebito, your Mexican pandering only works with Mexicans.
Keep digging that hole deeper ¡Yeb!
Jeb for President.
Of Mexico.
“I guess no more French classes for people in public schools.”
As an American- Canadian who grew up in vancouver, we were taught French because it was the LAW. Is speaking Spanish the law, you idiot? We speak English because it is the unifying language. God knows i feel like my Filipino best bud when the mexiclowns start speaking spanish to him when he’s Filipino...and he’s tired of it.
Tell this Bush Idiot , In order to become an American Citizen You must be able to read and Write ENGLISH. Bush seems to be a confused Frat Boy.
As for me I’ll Take Trump, anytime.
Bush speaking Spanish on American soil is like waving a Mexican flag
on American soil.
Boston prides itself (whether it's true or not) of being a melting pot where everyone is Boston Strong, in love with their teams, fiercely proud of traditions. Besides which the state has has its problems with unassimilated immigrants. What's next? Jeb gonna' speak in Chechnyan to attract those voters?
How out-of-touch can a pol be?
