Jeb Bush Chest Bumping A Man Is The Most Awkward Thing You'll See Today

It's like when your dad tries to use the term "on fleek."


Alana Horowitz Satlin
Assignment Editor, The Huffington Post


When you're running for president, especially when you're trailing in the polls, every vote counts.

That's probably why when one man told former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) that he was switching his support from Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to him, this happened:

Yes, Jeb Bush gave a stranger a chest bump. Politics is weird.

Jeb Bush Offers a Chest Bump ‘for Every Convert’

WAUKEE, Iowa — After his final event of a busy Wednesday, Jeb Bush posed for selfies, shook hands with voters and — wait, was that just a chest bump?

Yes, yes, it was. CNN has the clip.

Asked to explain why Mr. Bush, the former Florida governor, had bumped pectoral regions with another man — a City Council member, as it turned out — Mr. Bush obliged. The man, he said, “was a co-chairman for Ted Cruz, and he came up to me and said: ‘I’ve changed my mind after the debate. I’m for you.’ ”

“I do that for every convert,” Mr. Bush said with a laugh, turning to a group of reporters following him. “Anytime you guys want to try a chest bump, I’m all in.”

No one, as of press time, had taken him up on the offer.

So charred that you can't even scrape off enough of the burned stuff to find a usable portion.

WTH is "on fleek"?
