Mystery solved!
Thousands of Iowans checking their mailboxes late last week were greeted by a photo of a smiling Jeb Bush on the back of a flier touting the former Florida governor and 2016 Republican presidential hopefuls conservative bona fides.
Mystery solved!
Thousands of Iowans checking their mailboxes late last week were greeted by a photo of a smiling Jeb Bush on the back of a flier touting the former Florida governor and 2016 Republican presidential hopefuls conservative bona fides.
But the mailer paid for by the super-PAC Right to Rise and sent to about 86,000 Iowa households morphed into a momentary viral distraction for the campaign as online observers quickly pointed out that Bushs left hand appeared to be black.
On Saturday, Right to Rise spokesman Paul Lindsay explained that in the original photo, a woman standing next to Bush cast a dark shadow on his hand. The super-PACs not-so-super art department then superimposed the image of Bush on a stock Cedar Rapids backdrop.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
