While struggling to answer a question about his favorite Marvel superhero on Wednesday night, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said that the actress playing Supergirl on a new CBS show “looked pretty hot.”

During the Libre Forum in Las Vegas, Bush was asked who his favorite Marvel superhero is, according to CNN.

“I like watching the movies. I wish I owned Marvel, as someone that believes in capitalism,” he said in response.

“I don’t know, I’m kinda old school,” he added, according to CNN. “I like the old school guys like Batman, a little dark these days.”

Bush kept going, perhaps because Batman is not a Marvel superhero. The former governor mentioned that he saw an ad for the new CBS show “Supergirl” starring Melissa Benoist.

“I saw it when I was working out this morning,” he said. “She looked kind of … she looked pretty hot. I don’t know which channel it’s on, but I’m looking forward to that.”

He then added, “That’ll make news,” according to CNN.

Following Bush’s remarks, the press secretary for his campaign, Kristy Campbell, confirmed on Twitter that Benoist is “hot.”

    Doesn’t he know he’s not supposed to say the stupid misogynistic shit Trump says?

    He would have to actually know the Marvel product first.

    “I like the old school guys like Batman, a little dark these days.”

    Aside from a period when DC toned it down some, he was dark for at least awhile. No, I’m not going to guess which version of Batman that he likes, it’s too early.

    By the way, he needs to talk with his mom (or others) about posture. If he had really leaned forward,…

  3. no.

    and when he’s reminded of such, out comes the ‘ya’ll are being PC’ BS.

  4. Creepy!
