Former President George W. Bush’s brother, Neil Bush, has revealed he voted for Democratic candidate James Talarico for U.S. Senate in Texas, calling Donald Trump’s bid to overturn the 2020 election “an affront to our democratic institutions.”
“I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate,” the Texan businessman wrote in a post on Facebook on Tuesday in a snub to Republican candidate Ken Paxton.
The 71-year-old son of former Republican President George H. W. Bush and chair of his father’s nonprofit Points of Light, wrote that while he has been a Republican for most of his life, character “matters more than party affiliation.”
That’s actually pretty surprising, and for a conservative - impressive.
Paxton being a piece of shit is a non-partisan thing. There’s even a commercial with a former Republican state representative advocating for Talarico
I mean, I live in Missouri, Josh Hawley being a piece of shit is a non-partisan thing. But the second it comes to choices, they’d rather that instead of voting for democrat.
I’ll give credit for a conservative doing the bare minimum. It is very difficult for them to remove their lips from the asses of the party leadership.
Agreed - just surprising for me that someone with brand name recognition would make that choice vocally.
The Texas legislature also tried (but failed) to impeach him. An FBI inquiry into his office had the deaths of two major whistleblowers. Man is corrupt af and probably in some sort of cartel/gang thing. He is not liked and he should not be allowed anywhere near political power so I expect Texas will elect him.
Don’t count texas out. Talarico is polling well and currently has highest levels of early voting in a non presidential election in texas history.
He was impeached. But then he was acquitted by Republicans.
Modern partisan politics seem to require GOP candidates to be pieces of shit.
The only consistent policy of today’s Republicans is to do whatever will make sensible people push back, which has led to a party full of pedophiles, criminals, corruption, incompetence, and treason.
It fucking shouldn’t be. Democrats are perfectly “conservative” enough for corpos and even farmers. Republicans want to kill poors through legislation.
MAGA hates the Bushes. This is just a quick moneymaking story, not really news as such.
