Former President George W. Bush waded into the controversy around the “America First Caucus” initiative, saying in a recent interview that if the Republican Party stands for “exclusivity” and “white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism,” then it will be rejected by voters.
Bush was asked in an interview on The Dispatch Podcast last week about leaked plans for the caucus that referenced “Anglo-Saxon political traditions,” with the former president saying that, “if the Republican Party stands for exclusivity, you know, used to be country clubs, now evidently it’s white Anglo-Saxon Protestantism, then it’s not going to win anything.”
