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 weve 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.
If one omitted the murder stats from about 7 US cities that are mostly black, the US would drop to about #189 on the list of countries by the number of murders.
Almost all violent crime is committed by young black men or teens, but remember... facts are racist!
That was no friend.
You do that, George. You and Bobby get in front of it.
What is up with Jorge Boosh AND Ted cRuz spouting this nonsense, after the spate of crazed-person inflicted shootings????
I cant believe I ever supported anyone in that corrupt family.
So George P. is basically a racist.
Has he stalked any ex-girlfriends lately?
Voted against him in the primary, then skipped the land commissioner slot in the general election
A narrative is being created. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Then why isn’t Elizabeth Warren denouncing the radical ANTIFA socialism of the Dayton shooter, Betts, who was a stated Warren supporter?
Waiting for it Elizabeth, Come on give us the denouncement!
George P. - the new John McCain.
I frequent FreeRepublic every day and up until this weekend I really have not heard the term “White Terrorism”. Maybe it does exist. Frankly I am more concerned about Democrat, Progressive, Radical Leftist Terrorism that might be the underlying cause to the gun violence. Oh by the way Freepers, please donate to keep this site up it worries me that it takes so long for Jim to receive donations every quarter. There is NO other site that I am aware of that promotes Free Conservative Speech. However free it is, it still cost.
Speaking only for myself, I can. Given our choices. I even supported McCain against The Chosen One.
Thanks to FreedomPoster for the above reality!
