No Jeb gets a demerit. He claimed something that was not entirely true. The Homeland was attacked on his brother’s watch and close to 3000 Americans died on American soil as the result of a coordinated attack by a foreign enemy. Just the same as when Pearl Harbor was attacked on FDR’s watch. Truth is truth. Jeb’s statement was not true, Trump’s was.
So, if someone comes over and sucker punches you - that’s your fault right?
Once President Bush’s administration was awake to the danger, they took action. And yes, they took actions that kept us safe.
