It seems like he’s pursuing the wrong career. Texas Attorney General hopeful George P. Bush exposed that he intends on “staying out of the courthouse” if chosen as Texas’ Attorney General. Bush was speaking with a Texas teacher on Wednesday. He is challenging incumbent Ken Paxton in the Republican primary.
Bush heavily criticized Paxton’s lawsuits against mask and vaccination mandates in schools that have helped to frame the national debate on the restrictive COVID19 measures.
He stated that he opposes critical race theory, however, questioned the concept that the Texas Attorney General’s need to pursue school districts for breaching state law through its instruction.
This was a striking question from a young teacher who said he has been vilified for “indoctrinating” kids with CRT.
Bush says CRT has been “overly politicized” but notes he does oppose it and condemns an event in his ISD called “Drag Queen Tuesday.”

Bush has stated that he intends to utilize the powers of the office to protect the border, a subject on which Paxton has aggressively sued the Biden administration.
“We need a nuanced approach, an attorney that’s not just trying to score political points,” said Bush of Paxton.
The more youthful Bush explained himself as an attorney who looks for to prevent lawsuits at allcosts, claiming that critical race theory had been “overly politicized.”
George P. Bush is the boy of failed 2016 presidential prospect and ex-Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.
He’s the 4th generation of the famous globalist political dynasty to serve in elected office, presently working as Land Commissioner of Texas.
Bush knocked Paxton in even sharper terms in an interview at the exact same occasion, mentioning that the incumbent is under indictment and comparing him to a “22-year swamp creature.”
Bush even accused Paxton of taking kickbacks.
George P. Bush pulled no punches responding to Attorney General Paxton's criticism of "the Bush dynasty" tonight: "it's not conservative to cheat on your wife, to abandon the Constitution, to accept bribes," calling him a "22-year swamp creature."

Paxton won 42.7 percent of the vote in the March primary, and he’s slated to take on Bush in an runoff election on May 24.
Numerous Republican Attorneys General have actually sought to aggressively counteract critical race theory in schools.
It appears as though parents would be on their own if Bush were to be elected.
Christin Bentley, founder and president of the conservative Texas Freedom Coalition put it quite succinctly to the Texas Tribune, saying,
“His actions speak louder than words to me and he didn’t take bold action on the border when he could have, so I wouldn’t expect him to take bold action on the border as attorney general,” said Bentley, whose conservative group fights against mask and vaccine requirements and gender-affirming health care for transgender children.
Bentley, who has endorsed Paxton, said she wants a “fighter” who will push back against the “cultural marxism” she says liberals have infused into today’s politics.
“What drives me crazy about people like George P. Bush and the establishment is that they just want to focus on slogans like ‘Keep Texas red’ and they don’t seem to understand that in order to do that we have to really fight hard,” she said. “Right now, we need people who are not afraid of controversy and be very aggressive in protecting the rights of Texans and not politically correct kind of people.”
