Someone must have given former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush a can of Redbull, as the failed “low energy” candidate recently re-emerged from obscurity like a whirling dervish to cast aspersions at presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump.
He may well regret doing so though, as his commentary meant to smear Trump as a racist only served to reveal his own bigoted assumptions.
According to BizPac Review, Jeb recently spoke out against Trump’s now infamous Cinco de Mayo social media post, in which he enjoyed a taco bowl meal and expressed his love for Hispanic people on the traditional Mexican holiday, as only he can.
Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics! https://t.co/ufoTeQd8yA pic.twitter.com/k01Mc6CuDI

Jeb, speaking to a Dutch newspaper, characterized Trump’s post as “insensitive,” but in doing so made a rather insensitive comment of his own.
“First, not all Hispanics are Mexican,” said the always politically correct Jeb. “Secondly, not all Hispanics eat tacos. Thirdly, showing your sensitivity by eating an American dish is the most insensitive thing you can do.”
Jeb then totally stepped into the non-PC side of things by stating, “Fourthly, to say this, next to all things he already said, is a further insult. It’s like eating a watermelon and saying ‘I love African-Americans.’”
“This guy,” added Jeb. “If we lose in November, we Republicans have ourselves to blame.”
