He said he once got one asking if he would go back in time, if it were possible, and kill the baby Adolf Hitler. Bush's answer, according to a video clip, was, "Hell yeah, I would. Look, you gotta step up man."

Woodfox is the last member of a group that supporters dubbed the "Angola Three" to still be in prison.
