None other than Rush Limbaugh weighed in on former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s recent visit to Greensboro to campaign for Senate candidate Thom Tillis:

NYT also covered Bush’s visit, reporting Tillis “gently put distance between himself and his guest of honor” by saying “you have to make it clear that amnesty shouldn’t be on the table.”
