A Jeb Bush campaign speech breached a new dimension of awkwardness this week.
The former Florida governor was speaking at a Rotary Club in New Hampshire Monday when a Rotary official interrupted the presidential candidate and sent him back to his seat. A C-SPAN video of the speech shows the man interrupting Bush’s speech and ushering him off the stage.
“They’re kicking me off the stage!” Bush says, waving his arms, apparently flabbergasted by what is happening.
“Thank you very much for joining us today,” the Rotary official says.”I believe your schedule has a hard stop.”
Bush then goes back to a table and has a seat. The Boston Globe reports that Bush’s “hard stop” may not have been so hard after all, since his campaign bus didn’t leave the parking lot for another 30 minutes.
Bush placed fourth in the state’s primary Tuesday with 11 percent of the vote.
