During Thursday night’s Republican debate, Jeb Bush awkwardly praised a questioner for working as an entrepreneur of “the YouTube.”
Bush was fielding a debate question from YouTube personality Dulce Candy, who asked about the GOP’s openness to immigrants. Bush emphasized the need for the U.S. to be open to immigrants, and offered strong praise for Candy’s past military service and her current entrepreneurial endeavors.
“We should be a welcoming nation.” Bush said. “And Dulce Candy — pretty cool name, actually — that is now an entrepreneur of the YouTube, is part of that American experience, and we should celebrate it as conservatives.”
Needless to say, it’s just YouTube, not “the YouTube.” The question is, will Jeb Bush’s unhip quip hurt him with the young people in his quest to become president of the America?
