Bush fires back: New ad features Trump praising Hillary, higher taxes

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is no longer holding back when it comes to responding to Donald Trump’s attacks.

Less than 24 hours after Trump posted a video to Instagram with photos of convicted illegal-immigrant criminals as he mocked Bush for once describing illegal immigration as “an act of love,” the Florida Republican fired back.

Bush’s presidential campaign released its own web-based attack ad Tuesday highlighting “liberal things that Trump says/believes.”

The minute-long video features sound-bites from televised interviews of Trump dating back to the 1990s, showing the Republican front-runner describing himself as “very pro-choice,” praising the success of single-payer healthcare systems in Scotland and Canada, and calling for raised taxes on high-income earners.

In one clip, the New York billionaire tells CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that “Hillary [Clinton] would do a good job when asked who he’d like “representing the U.S. in a deal with Iran.”

“Hillary Clinton, I think, is a terrific woman,” Trump says in another clip.

“She’s very talented,” he says in a different interview.

Bush’s video also includes the now-infamous interview between Trump and Blitzer, in which the real estate mogul said: “Well you’d probably be shocked if I said that in many cases I probably identify more as a Democrat.”

At the end of the video, viewers are directed to Jeb2016.com/conservative — an additional jab at the questionably conservative GOP front-runner.
