Republican presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush took a jab at rival Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)’s much ballyhooed choice of footwear on Wednesday, arguing that he didn’t have to wear heeled boots because he didn’t “have a height issue.”
Rubio wore a pair of black, leather boots last week that took the Internet by storm. On Tuesday, a pro-Bush super PAC released a bizarre web video hitting the Florida senator that showed a man dancing around in similarly black, leather boots to the tune of “These Boots Are Made For Walking.”
Bush took the opportunity to knock Rubio’s boots himself in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
“Yeah, but Jeb, do you own any platform boots that make you taller?” “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough asked Bush.
“I got my cowboy boots on, big Joe,” Bush replied.
Scarborough asked Bush to clarify if they were “just normal cowboy boots” or boots that made him “three inches taller.”
“I don’t have a height issue,” Bush said, knocking his shorter Sunshine State rival.
