As more becomes clear about the motives of the man believed to be behind the Charleston church shooting, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was hesitant to connect Dylann Storm Roofs alleged actions to any racial prejudice.
When asked about whether he thought the attack was racially motivated, Bush told a Huffington Post reporter, "It was a horrific act and I don't know what the background of it is, but it was an act of hatred."
When pressed again about whether race motivated the attacks, Bush said, "I don't know. Looks like to me it was, but we'll find out all the information. It's clear it was an act of raw hatred, for sure. Nine people lost their lives, and they were African-American. You can judge what it is."

It seems impossible but he is even dumber than his brother. Even the tone-deaf Chimpster wouldn't have said this and he is dumber than a bag of hair. So that tells everyone what they need to know about this left-handed football bat.

edit: Note: he did not go to Yale. Even his brother Dumbya got into Yale. He ended up at Texas! Of course, '68, the year Dumbya graduated, also happens to be the year they tightened up on legacy admissions. Coincidence? I think not.
