George P. Bush denounces 'white terrorism' after El Paso shooting
The Hill ^ | 08/03/19 | John Bowden

Posted on 08/03/2019 9:16:15 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Texas General Land Office Commissioner George P. Bush issued a statement that called on all Americans to stand against "white terrorism" Saturday after a gunman who espoused white supremacist views in a manifesto killed at least 18 in El Paso.

Bush, son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), said Saturday evening that "white terrorism" was a "real and present threat that we must all denounce and defeat."

"I believe fighting terrorism remains a national priority," Bush said. "And that should include standing firm against white terrorism."

"There have now been multiple attacks from self-declared white terrorists here in the US in the past several months," he added. "This is a real and present threat that we must all denounce and defeat."

His remarks echo those of 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who just days ago urged politicians to call out white supremacy as a form of "domestic terrorism" during night one of the July primary debates.

"We need to call out white supremacy for what it is: domestic terrorism. And it poses a threat to the United States of America," the senator said on Tuesday.

FBI Director Christopher Wray said at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this month that white supremacist-related cases now make up the majority of the agency's caseload for domestic terror arrests.

"I will say that a majority of the domestic terrorism cases that we’ve investigated are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence, but it does include other things as well," he told the committee.

I thought Jeb was a good governor, but after Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis, I was wrong...Charlie Crist was better...

Jeb just benefitted from having his brother in the White House.

Me, too especially when I met President Bush while boating in Maine...he and Barbara Bush came up and talked to us while we were dining at a seaside restaurant. Oh, well, didn’t think about Globalism back then... my misteak.

Yes, and I believe liberals said it was Trump’s - or the NRA’s - fault, too. One of my ‘friend’ banned me from his Facebook account because he is against guns, and I asked him how can criminals get guns. They’ll always find a way to get guns, not legally.

“Human genome project explored this race issue and it’s fantasy, there are no determining factors, clear differences. It’s actually ethnicities and people groups not based on looks but culture and language”

Isn’t it great that we are all the same and that the right science and government policy has made us all equal, except for the white terrorists that we will soon be focused on hunting down and killing?

The FBI's own data doesn't support this statement.

Is Wray worried about antifa violence? Apparently not, even though local police and mayor in Portland OR refuse to protect citizens.
