BOCA RATON, Fla. – Though out of the running to be president, Jeb Bush isn’t content staying on the sidelines, as the former Republican candidate has officially endorsed the lunch menu options at Chili’s.
“Chili’s is a principled chain restaurant with a clear vision for an affordable, delicious lunch,” Bush said, speaking in front of reporters and members of the Florida chapter of The Ronald Reagan Lunch Society. “Their $6, $7 and $8 lunch combos are exactly the types of deals that give this country a bright future.”
After describing each menu item in great detail, highlighting the grilled chicken fajitas as a Bush family favorite, the former Florida governor continued to lament the negative state of American politics.
“I’m concerned about the dark direction of our political discourse,” Bush said. “I want to envision a day when both Republicans and Democrats can head to Chili’s together and take advantage of a great lunch deal while finding common ground over some perfectly made Presidente Margaritas.”
At press time, the manager of the Chili’s Bush spoke at would not confirm whether Bush had been sleeping in one of the restaurant’s booths since suspending his campaign in February.
