SE Cupp: It Is ‘Journalistic Malfeasance’ to Imply Bush Doesn’t Care for Oregon Victims

TAPPER: "I want to turn from this to the Oregon shooting and comments made by Jeb Bush that you were just referring to. Jeb Bush he gave a very long answer, but among the many, many words in his long answer was this --"

BUSH: "It's very sad to see, but I resist the notion -- and I had this challenge as governor, because we had -- look, stuff happens. There's always a crisis. And the impulse is always to do something and it's not necessarily the right thing to do."

TAPPER: "Stuff happens. Now, obviously there a lot more to it than that. But even Donald Trump is jumping on this, S.E."

CUPP: "Look, in no way, shape, or reform was Jeb Bush's response to the Oregon shooting stuff happens. That's just not what he said. That's not how he said it. That's not what he meant. And I think it's real journalistic malfeasance to represent it, you know, the newspapers that represented that single headline is completely unacceptable. Jeb Bush is often unartful. He is often -- he often doesn't say the thing that, you know, he probably should say. But whether he is using the word retarded correctly or, you know, giving a long answer -- I mean, these are the opportunities that the media really shows a bias because he was -- he was not wrong when he said what he said. Could he have said it a little better? Sure. But to imply that Jeb Bush somehow does not care about what happened in Oregon this week is absolutely unacceptable."
