Neil Bush, the younger brother of ex-President George W. Bush, says he cast his ballot for Democrat James Talarico over Republican Ken Paxton in Texas' U.S. Senate race, according to Newsweek.

Bush, 71, the son of George H.W. Bush and head of his father’s Points of Light nonprofit, wrote in a Facebook post Tuesday that he’d voted early for Talarico. He said he’s been a Republican most of his life but that character outweighs party.

He said he was deeply troubled by Paxton’s attempt as attorney general to challenge the 2020 results in other states in order to keep Donald Trump in power, which he called an assault on democratic institutions and the peaceful transfer of power.

So brave to make a subtle jab at the biggest traitor in American history. Maybe he should have slapped his hand at the same time and really send the message home.
