BigGovernment: GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush is defending his brother, former President George W. Bush, against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s reminder that 9-11 occurred under George W. Bush’s watch.
But the International Business Times (IBT) reports a number of the hijackers on 9-11 actually obtained Florida drivers licenses – or I.D. cards – while Jeb Bush was governor, which allowed them to blend into society.
On Friday, Trump noted 9-11 occurred while President George W. Bush was president, which led Jeb Bush to defend his brother, saying he kept America safe and calling Trump’s statement “pathetic.”
“Despite evidence that his brother’s White House was warned of imminent al Qaeda terrorist plots before 9/11, the candidate doubled down, tweeting a photo of his brother at Ground Zero at the World Trade Center in New York with the caption: ‘He kept us safe.’ The move drew criticism from families of some of the victims of the attacks,” IBT reported.
Yeah, I’m sure Jeb was personally responsible for that.
Good ammo for Trump to use against Jeb.
California is issuing ID and driver’s licenses to illegals, and has been doing so for a long time! PLUS registering the ILLEGALS as democrat voters!
Jeb and George W collaborated to keep America safe.
Nothing says love like wielding a box-cutter.
You think Megyn Kelly / Fox News will report this?
I lived in Florida for a time and Florida is a very different world in many ways than much of the rest of the country.
There are two YUGE problems with Florida.
1) hurricanes. Like, all the time. Insurance companies handle Florida as a unique entity when it comes to Homeowners insurance. This is because they don’t want to bankrupt the rest of the insurance company.
2) ILLEGALS. Yes. Illegals come into Florida in droves. They get jobs. They drive. A lot. They drive cars and trucks and work trucks and cargo vans all over the place all year long doing work and going to the store and home and wherever.
They are illegal. They don’t have drivers licenses and don’t have insurance. They have lots of wrecks. They wreck the work truck, walk away, disappear, get a job somewhere else, don’t miss a beat. The people who HAVE insurance have to absorb that cost.
Thus, due to the above 2 problems with Florida, it costs TWICE as much to insure ANYTHING. Car. Moped. House. Condo.
TWICE.
Problem 1 you can’t do much about.
Problem 2?
Don’t move to Texas to escape – we got hurricanes and illegals here too. On the plus side, though, we don’t have Jeb Bush, either. Or state taxes.
