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.”
most polls show Talarico narrowly ahead of Paxton in the closely watched Senate race that could determine party control of the chamber.
Good on Neil Bush for speaking his conscience on this. Regardless of his personal beliefs, he spoke up. And he deserves credit for that.
Texans who vote for Ken Paxton are a complete disgrace to their state and to their country.

That’s an interesting take given how George W “won” the election against Gore by having the conservative majority SCOTUS stop the Florida re-count effectively handing W the presidency. Final counts have shown Gore would have won if the recount wasn’t stopped “because it was taking too long”. They would have finished within a day…
And W’s other brother was governor of Florida at the time. No conflict of interest there!
Well when you have armed gunmen storm a voting center and those in power in Florida not holding them responsible. Votes don’t get counted
It’s a bad look ik the most nepotist neo conservative enablers look like the sane people in the room. GW was a massive idiot who ruined many things about the America people yearn for nowadays.
No child left behind gave us the crop of MAGA voters today. They are all dumb as rocks because of W’s policies
Damn I thought Jeb! was back
Please crap.
I’m crapping while I read this.
That’s actually pretty surprising, and for a conservative - impressive.
MAGA hates the Bushes. This is just a quick moneymaking story, not really news as such.
Too monstrous for a monstrous family to vote for, that’s quite the accomplishment there, Paxton.
If I was a member of a war criminal, I would never show my face in public gathering ever
Paxton kicked the anthill when he primaried Cornyn.
We plundered and waged wars but we at least did it with style
