Jeb Bush trashes Donald Trump over leaked audio, gives cousin Billy Bush a pass

Former presidential candidate Jeb Bush has weighed in on the Donald Trump leaked audio, saying he finds it “reprehensible” and “degrading”:

As the grandfather of two precious girls, I find that no apology can excuse away Donald Trump's reprehensible comments degrading women.

Forgetting somebody there? In that audio, the reporter for Access Hollywood was Billy Bush — Jeb’s cousin:

Worth noting: Billy Bush is one of *those* Bushes — son of George H.W. Bush’s younger brother Jonathan. Not sure what that makes him & Jeb. https://t.co/aJTQFvEhh5

It’s too bad for Billy because viewers won’t be as easygoing as cousin Jeb:
