The Republican presidential hopeful spoke at an event at the College of Southern Nevada presented by the Libre Initiative. The forum aimed to offer members of the Hispanic community a chance to ask Bush about issues they were interested in.

After discussing a variety of political issues, Bush received a question on his favorite superhero, a reporter for The Guardian said.

For the record, Jeb was asked who his favorite superhero is. He named Batman then added this. https://t.co/tXQ2wb8w48

Bush said he liked Batman, then added he had just seen an ad for CBS' new series Supergirl. "She looked kind of, she looked pretty hot," Bush said.

Ahh. Jeb said he saw ads for Supergirl and "she looks pretty hot, I'm looking forward to that." Pauses and adds, "That'll make news."

The show stars Melissa Benoist, who previously was on Glee.

#Supergirl takes flight on the cover of @TVGuideMagazine! Watch the series premiere Monday, Oct 26 at 8:30/7:30c.

Benoist is, in fact, hot, Bush's press secretary Kristy Campbell later added.

Because Twitter is ridiculous, I was forced to watch the @supergirlcbs promo. She is hot. #politicorrectfact https://t.co/p2zkyoFXgF
