DNC pounces on Jeb Bush ‘mishearing’ Megyn Kelly question on Iraq

in 2017/Top Headlines by

Earlier this morning, we wrote that supporters/apologists for Jeb Bush might begin saying that he perhaps misheard the question about the Iraq war that Fox News Channel host Megyn Kelly asked him in an interview broadcast on Monday night. Now it’s actually happening. On Fox, Kelly asked in a very straightforward manner, “Knowing what we know now, would you have authorized the invasion?” “I would have, and so would have Hillary Clinton, just to remind everybody,” Bush said, “and so would have…

in Statewide/Top Headlines by
