INDIANOLA, Iowa — When it comes to helping the Syrian refugees, Jeb Bush believes America should act with nobility.

Bush questioned how rival Donald Trump or other Republican presidential contenders could turn their backs on Syrian refugees facing death.

Bush was especially critical of Trump’s comment that, if elected president, he would send all Syrian refugees back to their war-torn country. He said Trump’s approach would result in them being “slaughtered.”

“We don’t have a responsibility to solve all the world’s problems, but we have a noble tradition to be a partner with others to take care of people when they desperately need it,” Bush told about 200 people at a Pizza Ranch restaurant in Indianola on Thursday.
