Jeb: Hillary Clinton Does ‘Not Believe ISIS Is Our Fight’

TAPPER: “You on Twitter last night tweaked Hillary Clinton and the other Democratic candidates for being unwilling to use the phrase radical Islamic terrorism at the debate. Hillary Clinton said she's following the example of your brother, George W. Bush, after 9/11. Take a listen to this.”

GEORGE W. BUSH: “The face of terror is not the truth faith of Islam. That's not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don't represent peace. They represent evil and war.”

TAPPER: “Is Islam peace, governor?”

J. BUSH: “You know what? I know what - I know what Islamic terrorism is. And that's what we are fighting with ISIS, al Qaeda, all of the other groups. And that's what our focus should be on. This is not a question of religion. This is a - this is a political ideology that has co-opted a religion. And I think it's more than acceptable just to call it for what it is and then organize an effort to destroy it.”

TAPPER: “I guess the question is, though, Hillary Clinton said she doesn't want to label it as Islamic terrorism. And that seemed to be, at least in the first few years of the war on terror under President Bush, your brother, his - his blueprint as well.”

J. BUSH: “Yes.”

TAPPER: “And he said Islam is peace. It's hard to imagine Hillary Clinton saying Islam is peace and not being attacked by Republicans.”

J. BUSH: “I don't - look, all I know is that she does not believe that this is our fight. This is a fight for Western civilization. We need to be all in on it. And the simple fact is that these are Islamic terrorists that has have co-opted a faith that is peaceful. But, nevertheless, this is something we need to fight. And I don't think anybody would question that my brother was in that fight, that he viewed it as a national security fight and he led. And that's what we need to do again.”
