布什家族王朝的另一位成员尼尔·布什正全力支持德克萨斯州民主党参议员候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科,称他投票反对一种他认为已经“损害了我们国家”的政治风格。

Another member of the Bush family dynasty, Neil Bush, is throwing his weight behind Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico, saying he voted against a political style he believes has "damaged our country."

“我从未在脸书上发布过政治信息,不想冒犯观点可能截然不同的朋友。我打破这一传统,是因为我今天提前投票了,我投了詹姆斯·塔拉里科作为美国参议员,”尼尔·布什周二在脸书上写道。

"I have never posted a political message on Facebook, not wanting to offend friends whose views may be very different than mine. I'm breaking that tradition because I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate," Neil Bush wrote on Facebook Tuesday.

“我的投票源于两点动机:对肯·帕克斯顿履历的深切担忧,以及对詹姆斯·塔拉里科所展现出的品格和原则的真诚钦佩。”作为前总统乔治·H·W·布什之子、前总统乔治·W·布什之弟,尼尔·布什打破了家族长期以来的共和党政治传统,支持这位民主党人。

"My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton's record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico." Bush, the son of former President George H.W. Bush and brother of former President George W. Bush , broke with his family's longstanding Republican political tradition in backing the Democrat.

前总统乔治·W·布什与民主党籍前总统们保持着友好关系,但自2016年共和党总统初选以来,他与唐纳德·特朗普总统的关系一直紧张,当时特朗普多次攻击他的弟弟杰布·布什,并嘲笑他们的母亲、前第一夫人芭芭拉·布什。

Former President George W. Bush has maintained friendly relationships with Democratic former presidents, but his relationship with President Donald Trump has been strained since the 2016 Republican presidential primary, when Trump repeatedly attacked his brother Jeb Bush and mocked their mother, former first lady Barbara Bush.

“我认为唐纳德·特朗普以及那些纵容他的人对共和党造成了巨大损害。我担心一种政治文化,在这种文化中,对个人的忠诚优先于对原则的忠诚,而掌权者开始认为他们不再需要负责,”他补充道。“但我今天的投票远不止反对肯·帕克斯顿。”

"I believe Donald Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party. I worry about a political culture in which loyalty to an individual takes precedence over loyalty to principle, and where those who hold power begin to believe they are no longer accountable," he added. "But my vote today was about much more than opposition to Ken Paxton."

尼尔是布什家族近期第二位声援塔拉里科的成员。根据福克斯新闻数字频道查阅的联邦竞选财务记录,前总统乔治·W·布什的女儿芭芭拉·布什于9月23日向支持该民主党人的超级政治行动委员会“孤星崛起政治行动委员会”捐款2500美元。

Neil is the second member of the Bush family to recently throw his support behind Talarico. Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush, contributed $2,500 on Sept. 23 to Lone Star Rising PAC, a super PAC supporting the Democrat, according to federal campaign finance records reviewed by Fox News Digital.

根据联邦竞选财务记录,“孤星崛起政治行动委员会”(Lone Star Rising PAC)是在这场胶着的得克萨斯州参议院竞选中,为支持塔拉里科、反对帕克斯顿而进行大额支出的主要外部团体之一。

Lone Star Rising PAC is one of the major outside groups spending to support Talarico and oppose Paxton in the closely contested Texas Senate race, according to federal campaign finance records.

这位小布什对民主党人的支持,正值其兄长、前总统乔治·W·布什卸任后日益拥抱两党关系之际,最近一次是在6月出席了前总统奥巴马在芝加哥的总统中心开幕仪式。

The younger Bush’s support for a Democrat comes as his brother, former President George W. Bush, has increasingly embraced bipartisan relationships in his post-presidency, most recently attending the opening of former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago in June.

布什和米歇尔·奥巴马曾多次温情地谈论他们之间的友谊,尽管两人政治立场不同。

Bush and Michelle Obama have repeatedly spoken warmly about their friendship despite their political differences.

在奥巴马中心开幕仪式上,布什甚至送给米歇尔·奥巴马奥利奥糖(Altoids),重现了他们在2018年约翰·麦凯恩葬礼上那次著名的薄荷糖/止咳糖互赠情景。

At the Obama Center opening, Bush even gave Michelle Obama Altoids, recreating their famous mint/cough-drop exchange from John McCain’s 2018 funeral.
