So far in this campaign, Jeb Bush hasn’t said anything particularly memorable (if, that is, memory serves) but now he has come out with something pithy and quotable and certain to please one half the electorate and infuriate the other.
As reported by Jesse Byrnes at The Hill, in a radio conversation with Hugh Hewitt that somehow meandered into the matter of the Washington D.C. professional football team, which some media operations are refusing to identify by its full name, Bush said,
“There was a big argument about the Washington Redskins, the ‘Redskins’ being a pejorative term. I think ‘Washington’ is the pejorative term, not the ‘Redskins.’”
