DES MOINES, Iowa — Presidential candidate Jeb Bush says he once got an email asking if he would go back in time, if it were possible, and kill the baby Adolph Hitler.
“It said, ‘If you could go back in time and kill baby Hitler, would you? I need to know,’ ” Bush told a Huffington Post reporter on the Bush campaign bus in New Hampshire last week.
Bush’s answer, according to the video clip: “Hell, yeah, I would. Look, you gotta step up man.”
Bush wryly tweeted Monday: “Gotta do it,” referring to the Huffington Post item.
The typically dry-humored Bush, labeled by rival Donald Trump as “low energy,” has shown a more carefree side lately.
