DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Presidential candidate Jeb Bush says he once got an email asking if he would go back in time, if it were possible, and kill the baby Adolf Hitler.
"It said, 'If you could go back in time and kill baby Hitler, would you? I need to know,'" Bush told a Huffington Post reporter on the Bush campaign bus in New Hampshire last week.
Bush's answer, according to the video clip: "Hell, yeah, I would. Look, you gotta step up man."

Travel back in time and tell Eve, “To hell with that apple or yours. Make me a sammich!”... and we’d all be living in paradise right now.
Weirdo.
He brings it up, then comments on it.
WHY?????
Has anyone thought this could be fake. It was from a huffingtonpost reporter after all
Stupid question to be asked in the first place and the moron made it even worse by answering it at all.
Wonder where he’d go if he were captain of Star Trek’s Enterprise.
Wonder what he’d do if he were a citizen of Bedlam.
Oh, wait a minute - he is.
Woodrow Wilson? WTF? No. Take out Gavarilo Princip.
The media didn't ask the question, Jeb volunteered it and his answer to a reporter on his campaign bus:
"Presidential candidate Jeb Bush says he once got an email asking if he would go back in time, if it were possible, and kill the baby Adolf Hitler." (Article)Talk about "dumb as a rock!"
Is it not obvious the premise of the question would be given what we now know would Bush go back in history and kill him as a child?
I am anything but a Bush fan but how else could he have answered the question? If he says “No” the story becomes, “Bush agrees with Hitler’s actions”. If he refuses to answer the question the story becomes, “Bush unsure if Hitler should have been stopped”
Perhaps the only other answer could be, “I do not kill innocent babies but would certainly go a bit further back in time and kill his father and mother to prevent the birth of what we all know was a monstrosity of a human.
How about the garden of Eden. He coulda whacked Eve just as she was formed. That would avoid alot of problems. Probably cost him the women’s vote though.
Beat me to the post. 100% correct sir.
USA stays out of the war, and Hitler finishes out his life as a former corporal and postcard painter.
He should kill the guy who shot Ferdinand and then there wouldn’t be a WW!
Bush has gone off the deep end!
He did. Said someone posed the question to him in an email. Joe Biden (per TGO, the "dumbest man in the Senate") looks like a 10 million watt searchlight next to Jebbie's dim bulb of a brain.
We have the rule of law in this country....
&&&
Do you think the rule of law matters to a man who says that it’s an act of love when the invaders ignore our laws and break into our country?
I ask that question about every report I hear, regardless of the source. Every. Single. One.
When they - any of them - report the sky is still blue, I step outside to take a look.
Mind your language, please; there are ladies present.
Ya know, even Doctor Who declined to kill the child version of the evil mastermind Davros when he had the chance. (Well, after two hours of Hamlet-like dithering, that is. Gotta sell those ads.) And Yeb can’t pull up his socks and do as well as the Doctor? FAIL....
Looks like Carson has started a fad among some Republican candidates for president. The fad requires the candidate to reveal what kind of murderous bad ass he is. Jeb! declares he is willing to go back in time and do some killing.
