El Paso shooting: George P. Bush calls on country to 'stand against white terrorism'
In the wake of the deadly shooting in El Paso on Saturday, Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush called on the country to stand against “white terrorism.”
“I proudly served in Afghanistan as a Naval officer where our mission was to fight and kill terrorists. I believe fighting terrorism remains a national priority. And that should include standing firm against white terrorism here in the US,” Bush said in a tweet Saturday using the hashtag #ElPasoStrong.
He continued: “There have now been multiple attacks from self-declare white terrorists here in the US in the last several months. This is a real and present threat that we must all denounce and defeat. All terrorism must be stopped. I am praying for the victims of the shooting in El Paso. And I am asking that all Americans stand firm against all forms of terrorism.”
Officials say 20 people were killed and 26 others were injured after a gunman went on a shooting rampage at a Walmart store in El Paso on Saturday morning.

Good of him to speak up, but did he end his political career by doing so? 
The possibility that he might seek higher office remains so the fact that he issued this statement may be a ploy to get his name into the news cycle. George P. sees Beto and the Castro brothers as possible obstacles in his political career.
