Politico reports that Kathleen Hartington Kennedy overheard George H.W. Bush saying he’s voting for Hillary Clinton instead of party candidate Donald Trump.
On Monday, Townsend posted a picture on her Facebook page shaking hands next to the former president and this caption: “The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”
In a telephone interview, Townsend said she met with the former president in Maine earlier today, where she said he made his preference known that he was voting for a Democrat. “That’s what he said,” she told POLITICO.
The republican and 41th President evidently has no liking for the millionaire TV star and real estate tycoon, but declined to confirm Kennedy’s claim to Politico’s Darren Samuelsohn.
The report comes–tellingly, perhaps!–a day after Republican National Committee chairman Rince Priebus publicly threatened Republican candidates who refuse to vote for Trump.
