Via HotAir.com, we find Jonathan Krohn — a 14-year-old who is introduced as “one of the GOP’s up and comers” by Neil Cavuto — resurfacing to attack former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush for suggesting that Republicans need new policies.

There’s been a little brushback against the acceptance of Krohn on the right, but really, not too much.
