Wednesday at Elmhurst College in Oak Brook, IL, former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) called on voters to stop rewarding politicians who used derogatory characterizations “to make themselves look better.”
Bush said, “Here is the dirty secret, politics is embedded in our culture. We are our culture. The interaction of all of us together defines our culture and our culture is more vulgar then it once was. Our culture allows people to act in ways that thirty years ago would never be allowed in politics. Our culture is more reality TV based, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that our politics is that way.”
He added, “Voters should penalize rather than reward politicians, irrespective of their party, that use racist language or call people Nazis or disparage the disabled or make fun of people in order to push someone down to make themselves look better. That should be a penalty. You should be in a penalty box rather than getting rewards for that.”
After telling a story about Trump calling him a name during the 2016 campaign, Bush continued, “The first step is to change the language around political discourse and get it back to something at your own kitchen table you could tolerate. At least in my kitchen table, I could promise you if I talked like the people I hear on television today talk, my mother would have gotten her board out and whipped my butt, which she did occasionally.”

Please clap.
Right Jeb, they should install democrat party communist’s instead that want to destroy our Republic. Cut off your nose to spite your face.
Talk about an empty suit....this guy is a nonentity.
Oh be quiet, you little sissy boy.
Hey Yeb > KMA !
Americans need to stop rewarding race pimps
Milquetoast faggot.
Jebs doing exactly what he’s accusing others of
How does Jeb feel about what the liberal college professor about his mother and family? Maybe we should hire better teachers.
We did. That's why you lost the GOP primary and Traitorhillary lost the election.
Jeb spent $150 million to get 4% of the Republican primary vote
Low energy Jeb can’t get over losing the nomination any more than Hillary and the election.
I was a staunch Bush supporter until the “brother from another mother” nonsense began. I just found this revolting new “friendship” so insulting.
All during the Bush years I defended W while he never lifted finger to either defend himself or defend his supporters. Rush said it was because W had too much respect for the office. Really, I bought that for awhile.
How could someone who has so much respect for the office schmooze with the likes of a Clinton who sullied that office so profoundly?
Hypocrites, the whole damned family.
