Jeb Bush on the murders of VA TV journalists: "I'm not concerned about anything."

On Chris Matthews’ show, a clip was played of Hillary Clinton’s response to the on-air murders yesterday of a journalist and her cameraman. Then, Jeb Bush’s reaction followed.

It will disgust you to your soul, to witness the depth of indifference to this human tragedy that Jeb Bush displays in this clip. Take a GOOD look at this depraved display of nonchalance. It is the same kind of callously indifferent response he gave when nine people were murdered by a white supremacist in the Charleston, SC church two months ago.

His response is at 0:31 seconds.


"It’s a tragedy. I don’t have enough details to determine what the reason is for all of this is... It’s clearly a tragedy when you have a free society… where this kind of violence takes place.(inaudible)."

A reporter asked how concerned he was. "I’m not concerned about anything." Jeb responded. "Nothing".




Notice that he was posing for a photo-op with someone in the middle of his answer.


Chris Matthews' comment: "That's exactly what his campaign has seemed like. Out to lunch. Out to lunch!"


THIS is who Jeb Bush is, people. Remember this with horror as he tries and fails, to somehow represent himself as the 'compassionate' candidate with the 'optimistic' message.

This is what kind of person Jeb Bush is, people.

Believe it.

I am surprised to be finding out that Jeb is as dense as his brother. He was suppose to be the smart one.

He is, incredibly, even more dense. On the density scale, he is to Dubya what uranium is to helium.

With something as mundane as the murder of a 24 and a 27 year old slaughtered while doing their jobs? Really?

Jeb! said "free society" and "violence." You know, there's just nothing that can be done about it in a free society. Especially in the only free society on the planet that has these problems. As long as you're a survivor and not one of the disturbingly high number of corpses piling up, it's all good. You're free!

First, passing the laws would be good, not having to explain why Congress is not passing the laws would be the was way. They finally dumped Grover Norquist and they survived and are still getting re-elected and they could dump the NRA for better reasons

Maybe the war criminals from his brother's administration literally have a gun to his head to try to bring the "good times" back for them. He sure has been making a lot of amateurish fuck-ups. But the MSM never calls him on them, so it hasn't made any difference.

As long as our national mind set is that "everyone in the country has the right to own a gun unless they are certifiably dangerous", this tragedy could not have been avoided. The shooter was never judged mentally ill, was never charged with any kind of crime and therefore it appears that he could have bought a gun in any state in America.
