Did Jeb Bush smoke pot with Bill Belichick when they were classmates at Andover?

Bush: "No, no. Just for the record. No sir."

Fox Sports 1/Clay Travis: "It would be incredible if you had. I haven't heard anything about Bill Belichick."

Bush: "Yeah, I don't know why I'm the only guy who has to come clean on this." -- Fox Sports 1 interview


Ben Carson: On what he told the gunman in a Popeye's robbery three decades ago...

"I just told him I don't think you want me - I think you want guy behind cash register because he was clearly there to rob the place. He wasn't going to rob it with me." -- interviewed on Good Morning America

...and whether that's contrary to his suggestion that potential victims bring down a gunman themselves

"Completely incorrect. Those are not analogous situations. Somebody is there to rob the place versus someone who is sequentially murdering people, completely different. It may be that you can't understand that having not lived on the streets. That's a very easy distinction for me." --interviewed on ABC's "Good Morning America"

Chris Christie: Obama comments on shooting "obscene"

"What I would have said is that I'm praying for those families and that I care deeply about their loss, and that we have to pay attention to what their concerns are now, and try to help them rebuild their lives... Instead, he gives a rant behind the podium in the White House briefing room, a temper tantrum over the things that his liberal agenda can't get done, and he uses these shootings as a chance to get it done."--interviewed on Fox & Friends


Chris Christie: Hillary Clinton - "Has she taken leave of her senses?"

"She said that negotiating with the NRA is like negotiating with Iran. Has she taken leave of her senses? She said you can't negotiate with the Iranians? That's what she was doing for four years as secretary of state, and now she's supported the agreement. She supported the agreement that is going to give Iran a nuclear weapon. And now she's saying it's like negotiating with the Iranians."--interviewed on Fox & Friends


Jeb Bush confuses super PAC electioneering with campaign activity:

"We just started to advertise -- actually the Right to Rise PAC started to advertise, not our campaign."--interviewed on Iowa Public Radio
