George P. Bush, the son of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush and nephew of former President George W. Bush, wasn't pleased with remarks and "ignorant statements" made about Hispanics by Texas Republicans in leadership positions, and decided to take a stand against it. Bush, whose mother is Mexican, spoke at a GOP Hispanic outreach event last Wednesday, speaking on the subjects of Latino inclusion and public education reform in Texas.

"If we're going to be successful and be considered credible in the Hispanic community, we've got to denounce some of the ignorant statements that are made about Hispanics and the contributions we make," Bush told the Texas Tribune on Wednesday. "Whether it's to the military, our nation's economy or to the history of Texas."

The statement was made in response to Denton County Republican Party's chairwoman Dianne Edmondson, who commented on the Democrat's all-female ballot for governor and lieutenant governor and dubbed Democrat Wendy Davis "Abortion Barbie with Hispanic Sen. Leticia Van de Putte as her running mate." That statement being just an example of offensive comments that have been made by the Republican Party.

Van de Putte is a Latina pharmacist from San Antonio. Her husband, Pete Van de Putte, has Belgian roots.

Bush announced his disappointment over the vicious tactics, and he addressed the importance of making Hispanics feel included within the Republican Party. Bush is the co-founder of the Hispanic of Texas PAC, and during the outreach event last Wednesday he communicated that involving Latinos should happen all year round, not simply during elections.

"For me and my family, it's not Hispanic outreach. It's Hispanic inclusion," said the 37-year-old Republican.
