Jeb Bush Chest Bumps Supporter: ‘I Do That For Every Convert’

Jeb Bush has apparently taken to giving a chest bump to every new convert to his presidential campaign.

CNN’s Ashley Killough managed to get the chest bump on video during Bush’s campaign stop in Waukee, Iowa on Wednesday.

Bush explained to reporters afterwards that the man was a former Iowa co-chairman for Ted Cruz‘s campaign, who told him after the debate that he had switched sides.

When asked about the odd form of celebration, Bush said that it was standard. “I do that for every convert,” he told the reporters. “Anytime you guys want to try a chest bump, I’m all in.”
