JEB! Bush 2016 Top Campaign Donors Connected To Iran, Cuba

If Hillary can do this sort of thing, so can I. Who dares question me?
IT"S MY TURN! She had hers eight years ago and blew it.

(International Business Times) - Two of the top donors to Jeb Bush’s Right to Rise [aka Rule] super PAC have clear connections to Cuba and Iran, two areas of foreign policy where the presidential hopeful has marked a clear line of opposition between himself and President Barack Obama. Both donors have lived in the United States for decades and are part of a record-breaking campaign fundraising haul that topped $100 million for the pro-Bush group, according to an analysis of campaign finance data by the Guardian.

On Cuba, Bush has been one of the most vocal critics of Obama’s decision to reestablish diplomatic relationships after decades of silence between Havana and Washington. On the pending nuclear agreement with Iran, Bush has been critical as well, though he has stopped short of saying that he would reverse course on the agreement immediately after taking office, should he win.

One of the two donors is Iranian-American Hushang Ansary, Iran's ambassador to the U.S. for two years from 1967 to 1969 before the 1979 Iranian revolution. During the revolution, 52 American diplomats and private citizens were held hostage in Tehran for 444 days. Today, Ansary is a prominent businessman with deep ties to the Bush family, having served on President George W. Bush’s national finance committee of his reelection campaign and currently serving as a trustee on that president’s presidential library. Ansary was also a top contributor to a fund for commissioning and amenities of the U.S.S. George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier. Ansary, between himself and his wife, gave $2 million to the super PAC.
