George P. Bush aggressively courted former President Donald Trump's endorsement in his campaign to become Texas's next attorney general, despite the fact that Trump regularly delighted in humiliating Bush's father, Jeb Bush, during the 2016 Republican primary.
That courtship ended in humiliating failure on Monday night after Trump formally endorsed incumbent Texas AG Ken Paxton, who late last year filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court in a failed bid to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
In fact, Bush went so far to get Trump's endorsement that he handed out cards at campaign events that featured a Trump quote gushing that he is "the only Bush that likes me."
Given how much Bush debased himself and his family to get Trump's endorsement, many Twitter users relished in the former president's decision to back Paxton instead.
Check out some reactions below.
LOL. George P. Bush\u2019s pathetic ass-kissing, and throwing his own parents and grandparents under the bus doesn\u2019t pay off.https://twitter.com/Bencjacobs/status/1419811178751070210\u00a0\u2026— Ben Yelin (@Ben Yelin) 1627344377

The one almost redeemable feature about Donald Trump is that he inevitably stabs his biggest lickspittles in the back. RIP George P. Bush. https://twitter.com/KFaulders/status/1419808028405248011\u00a0\u2026— Eddie Marshall (@Eddie Marshall) 1627344776
George P Bush broke family ties to go with the biggest loser Trump. He should have realized Paxton, under indictment for 5 yrs, is more Trump's style.https://twitter.com/KFaulders/status/1419808028405248011\u00a0\u2026— What's So Radical... (@What's So Radical...) 1627344561
