Likely Republican presidential contender Jeb Bush, who was popular among Spanish-speaking voters while Florida governor, marked himself as "Hispanic" on a 2009 voter registration application, The New York Times reported on Monday.
The newspaper posted a fuzzy copy of the form, which it said it obtained from the Miami-Dade County Elections Department. The circle marked "Hispanic" was checked. The next circle said "White, not Hispanic" and was not checked.
"My mistake! Don't think I've fooled anyone!" Bush wrote on Twitter on Monday, responding to a message from his son calling him an "honorary" Latino.

Obama marked citizen on his.
ReplyDeleteProbably something the Jeb team leaked, so they could make the association, then 'deny' it.
ReplyDeleteKinda like Bill Clinton claiming to be the first black president.
Patronizing.
Another fine example of the Bush gene pool!

ReplyDeleteIf he'd lie about something like that it's pretty damn certain he'd lie about anything else. Just like his brother and father and grandfather.
Well his wife and children are Hispanic. Could just be a flub
