Telemundo Interviews Bush On Wide Range Of Topics
By Sergio Bustos, Aug 01, 2015 AP
MIAMI (AP) — In his first Spanish-language television network interview since launching his 2016 presidential campaign, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush fielded questions ranging from the upcoming presidential debate to Donald Trump, from Latin American foreign policy to his favorite music, and whether he had ever experienced discrimination.
Bush shared the experience his son George P. Bush, who is now 39, had when he and his Hispanic teammates traveled north to Ocala, Florida, to play in a baseball game.
"George, he's dark-skinned, and they spoke horrible things about those from Miami," Bush recalled, without offering details. "I had to explain ... that people who hate are not the majority, and we must accept them and move forward."
The interview with Telemundo's "Enfoque con Jose Diaz-Balart" ("In focus with Jose Diaz-Balart") airs Sunday at noon EDT. Telemundo provided a translated transcript of the interview to The Associated Press.
Bush, who is fluent in Spanish and speaks the language at home with his Mexican wife, Columba, has been busy this week courting minority voters.
