Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is defending his use of Spanish on the campaign trail, calling Donald Trump’s criticism of him a “joke” that made him laugh.
“I laughed. I mean this is a joke,” Bush said when asked by ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos about his response to Trump’s attack. “Part of it is, you laugh, because it’s so bizarre but it’s hurtful for a lot of people and Mr. Trump know there is. He’s appealing to their angst and fears rather than higher hopes.”
In an interview with Breitbart News, Trump chided Bush for speaking Spanish to attack him.
“I like Jeb,” Trump said. “He’s a nice man. But he should really set the example by speaking English while in the United States.”
During an interview with “Good Morning America,” Bush defended his use of Spanish in an appearance at a bilingual school in Miami, after students and reporters asked him questions in Spanish.
“[T]hese young beautiful kids all speak English but also speak Spanish and one of them asked me a question in Spanish and I answered it. That’s the reality of America, that’s the goodness of America. That’s the kind of America we want,” he said

Open mouth, insert foot. Nice way to hand the argument to Trump, Jeb.
Jeb, you treasonous, pusillanimous, weak-kneed, groveling Quisling. Shut the f*ck up!
The thing is, even if Jeb gets the nomination, he still won’t get more than 20% of the Hispanic vote in the general election.
And you speak Spanish continuously on the campaign trail, Jeb, you weasel. So why respond only about that one specific instance, hmmm?
It’s not the kind of America I want. Immigrants in the past have had to learn our language, not us their language. They don’t want to assimilate. They want to bring their cesspool culture here, take over and yet take advantage of the American dream. They’re mutually exclusive.
Shut up, Jeb, the more you habla, the more I hate you.
Wonder if Bushy will go to the predominant poor and gang infested areas of our large cities and speak Ebonics or hit the south Texas area and come out with some Tex-Mex?
I’m all in favor of learning a second or third language, but English must remain our native language.
Exactly why Bush will never get the nomination and why most Americans are fed up with the Washington cartel that Balkanized America, perhaps irrevocably.
Jeb is really really stupid.
He must also hate this country.
Jeb trying to be Trump Jr. by emulating Trump. Sorry Jeb, you'll always be Insignificant Sr.
Well pass out Mexican flags on the campaign trail Jebito.
Push 2 for Bush
Pray America is waking
People should be able to go on youtube, or wherever, and hear what you have to say at various campaign events.
The problem with speaking two languages is that it has been shown that Jeb says different things to each audience (as does Rubio.)
Trump should ask him, are you lying in Spanish, or are you lying in English.
It’s the reality of the crooks who run our government and we want to vote against it.
This worthless POS Jeb should be bound and gagged with Mexican flags and bodily tossed across the border.
