Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a likely candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, speaks Spanish in a new video celebrating Cinco de Mayo.
The video was released by Bush's political action committee, which described it as a message for the entire Hispanic population in the United States, but especially those of Mexican origin. Bush is fluent in Spanish.
Cinco de Mayo is an honorable date when Mexico, our neighbor, bravely defended itself against a foreign intervention, Bush said. Here in the U.S., Cinco de Mayo has become a day where we celebrate our ties with Mexico and the great contributions of the Mexican-American community in the U.S.
Bush said that for him personally, that relationship is very profound because his wife Columba was born in Mexico. I have great respect and affection for our neighboring country, he added.
Bush's success in reaching out to Hispanic voters is seen as an asset in the coming campaign, but many conservatives are skeptical of his views on immigration.

In the current issue of THE WEEKLY STANDARD, I have an editorial on the plight of Aaron and Melissa Klein—two Oregonians who used to own a bakery in a Portland suburb, who were run out of business and recently assessed a $135,000 fine for politely declining to provide a cake for a gay wedding. For background, please do read the whole thing. However, there's a pretty alarming lesson here about the selective nature of progressive tolerance that the editorial only touches on.

Among the many painful ironies in the current racial turmoil is that communities scattered across the country were disrupted by riots and looting because of the demonstrable lie that Michael Brown was shot in the back by a white policeman in Missouri -- but there was not nearly as much turmoil created by the demonstrable fact that a fleeing black man was shot dead by a white policeman in South Carolina.
