Jeb Bush Criticizes Donald Trump’s ‘Pathetic’ 9/11 Remarks

GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush criticized business mogul and 2016 rival Donald Trump for implying former President George W. Bush was to blame for the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Earlier Friday, Trump appeared on Bloomberg TV, where he was asked if he would be capable of comforting the country in times of national crisis.

When you talk about George Bush, I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time. … He was president, OK? Don’t blame him or don’t blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign.”

Bush, the former governor of Florida, lashed out at Trump on Twitter:

How pathetic for on Bush’s earlier remarks here.
