Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush says his first reaction was to laugh at rival Donald Trump's criticism of him for speaking Spanish.
Bush told ABC's "Good Morning America" Thursday, "I laughed. I mean this is a joke."
Bush said he had been responding to a reporter's question in Spanish this week when he replied in Spanish to criticize Trump. Trump told Breitbart News that Bush should "set the example" by speaking English while in the U.S.

Jeb really doesn’t know how pissed people are about “press one for English”
You’re right !Yeb, you are a joke. The only problem, we of the unwashed are not laughing.
Well then sh*thead...when that happens in the future remind the reporter that he's in the US and that you're running for President of the US and DEMAND that all questions be in English!
Jeb may not “know” AMERICAN ENGLISH is the official language in America. Many of us speak more than one language, but speaking in public we speak AMERICAN ENGLISH.
Infuriates me....Press One in America?
Hey Jeb, how do you say “out of touch” in Spanish?
Is it stupido?
Press one for English, all others hang up.
As King Juan Carlos asked of Hugo Chavez,
“Porque tu no callas?”
Exactly!!
Be nice if they could read:
"Do not enter"
"One way traffic"
Among others...
Outstanding, Sir!.
PING
Ya know, I thought Jebbie was running for President...of the United States. I didn’t know he was campaigning for President of Mexico.
Do the RINOs honestly believe Jebbie can win this election by campaigning almost exclusively for illegal and Hispanic votes? Are they really that out of touch? Sadly, it appears so.
JEB is not S-M-A-R-T.
Surely he does not think that when he speaks Spanish he is attracting more Spanish votes than he is losing to non-Spanish voters.
Yeb is turning into a “me too” ankle biter
There is possibly one good thing that might come out of Bush speaking hiSpanish. When is candidacy finally crashes and burns, which isn’t that far to go, the handful of HiSpanish people who might have voted for a hillary will have voted for Bush.
1) Jeb claimed to be "Hispanic" on his Florida voter registration:
"Jeb Bush is not Hispanic, despite indicating otherwise..." - tampabay.com2) Jeb has chosen Spanish and not English as the primary language used in his home:
"Jeb Bush Says He Speaks 'More Spanish Than English At Home'"But the GOPe only wants to talk of the mental disorder of Democrats like Elizabeth Warren claiming to be Native American and Rachel Dolezal claiming she was Black.
Let's not talk about Jeb's Hispanic version of the same disorder.
And at the ATM as well. I shouldn't have to use extra steps or time to use English.
When Bush speaks Spanish in speeches he is effectively NOT speaking to most Americans, he is ignoring them, he is insulting them.
Bush needs to run for the presidency of Mexico, not the USA.
