Yep, that’s Donald Trump invoking (via supportive-by-default retweet) the fact that Jeb Bush is married to Mexican-born Columba Bush (née Garnica Gallo) as a reason the former Florida governor is known as sympathetic to the plight of undocumented immigrants and is seen as the Republican’s leading supporter of immigration reform.

Before this retweet, Bush had already publicly stated that he has taken Trump’s incendiary comments on Mexican immigrants personally.

It’s gonna be a fun long 2016.
