When Jeb Bush, echoing the name of his new political action committee, tweeted "You got to fight...for your #RighttoRise" on Friday, he—or whoever runs his social media account—probably thought that he was being hip. The line is a reference to "Fight for Your Right," the hit single from the Beastie Boys' debut album, Licensed to Ill, which is still a party standby. But, based on the mocking the former Florida governor has received from the left and the right, his tweet was definitely not cool.
Now one third of the band that made "Fight For Your Right" a smash success has weighed in on Bush's attempt at PAC promotion with a hashtag of his own: "#C'monSon."
