That’s actually pretty surprising, and for a conservative - impressive.

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 President Donald Trump's bid to overturn the 2020 election "an affront to our democratic institutions."
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....
Come on now, they had to stop the counting. Don't you remember the Brooks Brothers Riot? There were acts of violence! People were rioting! Well, not people as such, Republican Staffers mainly, at the direction of Roger Stone. But still, something had to be done!
The wikipedia page has more information for those who want to know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooks_Brothers_riot
The amount of government malfeasance that just sails past so many many many people here is disheartening.
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
Paxton is truly a lizard person.
They aren’t voting for Talarico as much as voting against that cretin.
Why the TX GOP went along with this is amazing to me. Haha just kidding. The TX GOP is litterally all lizard people.
They aren’t voting for Talarico as much as voting against that cretin.
They don't want two Ted Cruz representing Texas. Talarico is someone you can negotiate with. Cornyn was, too. Paxton is just a stubborn climbing sociopath who only knows how to turn rightward
I had no idea there was a third brother.
There's also Marvin, you can always tell a Milford Man
Other* brother. I knew about one. Finding out he had another after so many years is blowing my mind.
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.
Damn I thought Jeb! was back
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
I was trying to think of a good way to convey exactly this.
Too monstrous for a monstrous family to vote for, that’s quite the accomplishment there, Paxton.
You love to see this kind of thing.
I hope more old school republicans start coming out and saying this exact thing.
Another?! Two spawns of HW was already two too many!
If I was a member of a war criminal, I would never show my face in public gathering ever
