Showing Original Post only (View all)TWEET JEB!: Your brother didn't protect us on 9/11 [View all]

Not that Jeb has much chance of winning at this point, but he shouldn't be able to brag about his brother "keeping America safe for eight years."
I can kind of see why his primary opponents don't put a fork in that talking point, but it is criminal malpractice that leaders of the Democratic Party don't.
There was some argument for lining up behind Bush for a while after 9/11, but 14 years later, there is no reason to give Bush and his party a pass on this.
I tweeted this to Jeb:
@JebBush Your brother didn't protect us on 9/11. Just about every other president did a better job of protecting Americans in America.
I forgot to add, feel free to tweet this to JEB! yourself. This should be the only thing people see in his twitter feed.

saying Bush didn't keep us safe on 9/11 even a couple of times would put GOP on defensive

"My brother kept us safe" if you don't count US troops or New Orleans or Mississippi or homeowners

And the thing is, nobody blathered about any President "keeping us safe" post-1941.
