the now famous jeb bush, if you knew what you know now which you didn t know then would you invid invade iraq? i have people tweeting and saying this is a gotcha question. no it s not. the story not being covered, i will argue, is that the parallelization. they don t want to touch it. it s so much easier to blame the other guy. mara chris, susan, thank you for stopping by this sunday. ahead, the left accused of squelching free speech by kirsten powers. and abc and nbc under an
underresourced, the white house press secretary josh ernst said are we going to light our hair on fire every time there s a setback? i would point out from my colleagues that maybe his hair isn t on fire but there are bodies on fire in the streets of ramadi as we speak. we look at the problems that are confronting this country around the world and you look at isis for example. isis was created by barack obama. they are now trying to get all of these candidates including jeb bush and everybody to try to get this gotcha question on well, would you have voted for it? the better question is mrs. clinton, would you have voted or supported barack obama taking our troops out when everybody single advisor to the president said that if you took them out the gains, the success that we had, the victory that we had in
have done i would have not engaged, i would not have gone into iraq. i think just to give him a little bit of credit this is someone who s definitely been putting himself out there. he s been taking questions from media. he s been taking questions from a 19-year-old student. but when we go back to the original comment, which was when he was being interviewed by fox news channel, he said he misheard her, thus his response. i m wondering, though what do you think is at the heart of all this this week with him? well i find it interesting he said, you know if i m going to have to answer hypotheticals. brooke the entire exercise is a hypothetical. this entire process until november of 2016 is a hypothetical of what if you re elected president, you know. what shocks me most about this is it was not a hard-hitting question. it was not a gotcha question. it was put to him by megyn kelly at fox. it was a perfectly reasonable question. i ll give him the benefit of the
