Hillary Clinton knocks Jeb Bush over 'free stuff' remark

Hillary Clinton lambasted Jeb Bush on Facebook Monday, calling his comment that Democrats offer "free stuff" to African-American voters "deeply insulting."

In a question-and-answer session, Clinton compared Bush to Mitt Romney -- whose comments about low-income voters helped doom his 2012 candidacy -- and Donald Trump.

"Talk about backwards."
