Bush Family Member Tells GOP To SHOVE IT, Supports Hillary Clinton For President

The Bush family has been coming out in support of the Democratic presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton, and slowly but surely, Clinton is garnering the attention of every single one of them. Earlier this year, we saw both George H.W. and George W. endorse Hillary, and now George W.’s daughter has publicly endorsed the Democratic nominee as well. This means that two Republican former presidents have turned their backs on the entire Republican Party, at least for this election season. Barbara Bush Pierce tweeted out this endorsement of Clinton.



In the above image, Barbara Bush Pierce is standing with Hillary Clinton’s aide, Huma Abedin. Abedin is known for being especially close to Clinton. Under the image, the caption reads: “We’re with her,” a clear endorsement of Hillary. Yet another post was found linked to the same Twitter account featuring this picture, with a caption that reads: “Americans in Paris.”

These pictures angered many people in the political sphere, and within a very short amount of time after posting, both images were removed. The Tweet above remains, but the #ImWithHer is quite obviously missing from the caption. This only fuels the fire that Donald Trump has churned up a sort of civil war within the Republican Party, causing many life-long members to jump ship at the mere thought of a Trump administration. When Republicans, who are pretty much willing to damn the country if it suits an agenda, are unwilling to back a member of their party, you know something is very wrong.

W has never endorsed Hillary, HW has stated privately that he is voting for Hillary.

Family members often have differing political views, after all St. Ronnie's son Ron Reagan is an outspoken liberal.

Ron, Patti and the late Maureen all very outspoken liberals. The only one who didn't fall far from the tree is his oldest son Michael.
