"SNIP.....

Texas General Land Office Commissioner George P. Bush (R) called on all Americans to stand against “white terrorism” after a gunman who espoused white supremacist views in a manifesto killed at least 18 in El Paso, The Hill reports.

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.”

He added: “I believe fighting terrorism remains a national priority. And that should include standing firm against white terrorism.”

......SNIP"

From the rest of republicans: crickets

When will this country wake up and realize this family has done nothing for most Americans other than make their lives worse?

When will this country have had enough of this crime family?

The more people start to say it, the more support we get for doing something to stop it. People don't feel comfortable thinking that the local white male down the street who likes to play with guns might kill a bunch of people, but that's what keeps happening. Racial profiling doesn't sound like such a great idea when it's the white race.
