Jeb Bush Clarifies “Anchor Baby” Derogatory Comment, Challenges Political Correctness [WATCH]

Now that Donald Trump was challenged by a reporter for his use of the term "anchor baby," it seems one other Republican presidential candidate is being lambasted for using the term – Jeb Bush. During a recent press conference Bush was questioned about his use of the, what some call derogatory, term. His answer, while attempting to clarify his usage, seemed pretty angered and annoyed. He challenged the political correctness of the United States and also mentioned that the "anchor baby" thing is really an Asian problem.

"Do you worry that using the term 'anchor baby' can affect your ability to win the Hispanic vote," Bush was asked. Even before the question was finished the former Florida governor cut the reporter off, telling her that the fact that he's been "immersed in the immigrant experience" over his life makes him believe it is ridiculous for the Clinton campaign to suggest he was using a derogatory term.

"What I was talking about was the specific case of fraud being committed where there's organized efforts, and frankly, it's more related to Asian people coming into our country, having children, in that organized efforts, taking advantage of a noble concept, which is birthright citizenship."

He further noted that nothing he has said should be taken as a derogatory or racist comment at all.

After his comments regarding Asian immigrants, Bush said that we all need to "chill out a little bit" in regards to the political correctness in the United States.

Which is probably something that he and the former Celebrity Apprentice star would agree on. And, well, Jerry Seinfeld... and Bill Maher.
