Story highlights Jeb Bush blasted Donald Trump over his portrayal of Hispanic-Americans

The former presidential candidate previously announced he won't vote Trump

Washington (CNN) Jeb Bush told a Dutch news outlet that Donald Trump's Cinco de Mayo taco bowl tweet was "insensitive" and compared it to "eating a watermelon and saying, 'I love African-Americans.'"

The former presidential candidate previously announced he won't vote Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, or likely Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, this November.

"What Trump did was so insensitive," Bush told NRC Handelsblad ahead of a speech he's set to give at the Nexus Institute in Amsterdam later this week, according to an English translation.

"First, not all Hispanics are Mexican. Secondly, not all Hispanics eat tacos. Thirdly, showing your sensitivity by eating an American dish is the most insensitive thing you can do. Fourthly, to say this, next to all things he already said, is a further insult," he said. "It's like eating a watermelon and saying, 'I love African-Americans.'"

A spokeswoman for Bush, a former Florida governor, did not dispute the quote's translation, which was reported by the Huffington Post.
