Bush: I Used Trump’s ‘Own Language’ To Say ‘He Is More Dem than a Republican’

BUSH: “What I stand by is the fact that we need to secure our border and I have a comprehensive plan to do just that. I’ve talked to the governors on the border. I was a border governor because we have lots of immigration coming from the south. I’ve talked to local law enforcement officers and people and I have a plan to be able to secure the border. That’s what we ought to be focusing on – not grandiose language, not mischaracterizing people’s views. That ad was a complete mischaracterization of my thinking. It’s almost as if Donald Trump is acting like a Washington politician – that’s what they do. Look, the simple fact is our ad simply uses his own language, his own words to say that he is more a Democrat than a Republican, that he is for higher taxes rather than cutting taxes. That he believes in a single payer system, that he’s not only pro-choice, but he believes in partial birth abortion. Those are his words not mine. I didn’t exaggerate a single thing."
