Apostasy

Apostasy isn’t common among the great houses, but we have an example of it in House Bush, which has generally opposed the upstart House Trump. Breitbart reports George P. Bush favors removing Rep. Liz Cheney as Minority Conference Chairwoman.

George P. Bush, son of former presidential candidate and Republican Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, expressed support for the Republican party on Thursday after they voted to remove Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) from her conference chair responsibilities Wednesday.

Bush is also the nephew of former President George W. Bush, who worked alongside Cheney’s father, former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Plus, his mother is Mexican-American, giving him roots in a key Texas constituency. George P. Bush is the elected Texas Land Commissioner, an important job in that very large state. From their website, here is the General Land Office’s self-description.

Today the General Land Office manages state lands, operates the Alamo, helps Texans recovering from natural disasters, helps fund Texas public education through the Permanent School Fund, provides benefits to Texas Veterans, and manages the vast Texas coast.
