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.
He would.
Because “white terrorism” is so much meaner than “non-white terrorism.”
This is Jebs son.
George P. Bush wants to be the first President of North Mexico.
He can’t be President of the United States under our Constitution.
He is not a natural born citizen.
He was born a Mexican national from his Mexican national mother.
Same as Ted Cruz acquired his American citizenship.
No more Bush.
Yeah, I caught my mistake (post 6).
(I get an automatic allergic reaction to anything Bush these days...)
war on whites advancing.
Don’t forget that Islam is a “religion of peace”........
What’s his stand on “incels”?
Stay out’ ‘da Bushes!!
I smell “false flag”.
Wonder how many of these young guys were medicated (drugged) and brainwashed by gov school officials?
Why did anyone In Texas vote for P?
He is as big an ahole as his father.
There went his political career.
The little brown one.
Wouldn't surprise me if the shooter, being a loser hoping to gain notoriety, was egged on by someone in the DNC, or Antifa, to carry out this mission.
I have heard other Freepers predicting a mass shooting to try to stop Trump's progress.
I have to side with the derp state scumbag Bush on this one.
Death to the testosterone-deficient white ANTIFA.
They’ve had it going for over 50 years.
George can eat a bag of dicks.
