Jeb Bush Responds to Insanely Racist Trump Ad by Calling Trump Liberal

Donald Trump created an ad on his Instagram account that attacks Jeb Bush for not hating undocumented immigrants. “Yes, they broke the law, but it’s not a felony. It’s an act of love,” Bush is seen saying. The ad juxtaposes Bush with images of undocumented immigrants who committed murder.

There are a few ways Bush could respond to this. He could point out that Trump’s ad is viciously dishonest. Bush was correctly saying that breaking immigration law is not a felony. He was not denying that murder is a felony. Better still, Bush could point out the sick undertones of conflating anybody who crossed the border illegally in order to give their children a better life — a choice many Americans would make had we not enjoyed the good fortune to be born here — with murderers.

Instead Bush hits back at Trump by calling him … liberal:

Jeb: “ You mean ol meanie!! “

The more working millions of Americans and the millions of out-of-work Americans that hear what Jebby Bush is all about, the better.

And the quicker his scam campaign goes down in flames.

Exposing facts and truths is not “viciously dishonest”.

Are the Spanish white? Are Mexicans white? If not what are they? Language? Culture? Un7que skin color? We need some Eric H0lder nuance discussion here.

Sneaking into the USA isn’t a felony? I thought they were breaking Federal law (not that the law means anything anymore).

What is it, a misdemeanor or something along the lines of stealing a pack of gum at the corner store?

Wow, this one must have been really effective for NYRag to call it “insanely racist.”

[dowcaet]

Insanely Racist Trump Ad...

I'm a racist
You're a racist
She's a racist
He's a racist
We're all racists.
Wouldn't you like to be a racist too??

Coming across the border is a misdemeanor, but lying on any federal form, receiving any welfare, or misrepresenting yourself in any way for $$=felony.

[hosepipe]

Actually Jeb spoke the truth..
AND he oughta know.. he is maybe more liberal than Trump..

Sneaking into the USA isn’t a felony?

Illegal entry to the USA is a misdemeanor on the first offense. Yes, it's a federal misdemeanor, obviously.

New York magazine looks like they translated regular English into PC nonsense:

Accurate and truthful = Insanely Racist

[VanDeKoik]

Who writes stupid headlines like this where the author feels the need to express their opinions like that?

I can almost bet they are between the ages of 21 - 29, and think Buzzfeed is an actual news source.

[spintreebob]

Unfortunately, Jeb is right. Jeb knows one when he sees him. Trump is big government personified. Juan and Evita Peron’s son.

[freespirit2012]

Trump never said or implied that Jeb thought murder was not a felony-— you have to have quite an imagination to interpret the ad in that way..

There are a few ways Bush could respond to this.

And all it will be is a response - defense - which is ALWAYS the losing side in politics. TRUMP/CRUZ 2016! Piss on you, Yeb! And every other loser GOPE RINO POS in the race!
