Gaffe of the Day: Jeb Bush's New American Beauty Video Was Actually Mostly Filmed Overseas

Reacting to Donald Trump's assertion that these are dark days for America, GOP Candidate Jeb Bush's super PAC Right to Rise released a video Sept. 15 showcasing the beauty found in America.



Except it shows very little American beauty.

Unfortunately, some of that video footage looked pretty familiar to the eagle-eyed folks over at Politico.

The only problem: The sun is rising over a field in Cornwall, England — a clip available for between $19 and $79 on Shutterstock.

The video also shows a clip of the silhouette of a construction worker with text on the screen that says "America is great" — stock footage that was taken from "a multiple story building in Southeast Asia," according to the website Pond5. The HD version of the clip costs $35.

And the kids heading off to school? You can download them from iStock with a subscription. According to iStock, the clip was shot by a firm called MonkeyBusiness, based out of the United Kingdom.

Oh, well. Can't win 'em all.
