LONGTIME BUSH BACKERS UNHAPPY WITH “FIRST IN THE SOUTH” HIRE

|| By FITSNEWS || There’s a rift within the campaign of former Florida governor Jeb Bush over his top hire in early-voting South Carolina.

Against the advice of several key members of his Palmetto State organization, Bush’s campaign has hired Taylor Hall – a former Nikki Haley staffer – to lead his “First in the South” endeavors.

The hiring of the 27-year-old operative was staunchly opposed by “well respected, longtime Bush family supporters,” one source familiar with the dust-up tells FITS.

“(Bush’s) people had said they planned to bring in someone from out of state,” the source added.

Hall was Haley’s cabinet liaison through February 2012 – when he left her office to take a job with the S.C. Republican Party.  However the party dumped him two months later after he was caught working with the governor’s chief of staff Tim Pearson in an effort to recruit candidates to run against GOP incumbents, including former S.C. House majority leader Jimmy Merrill.

After that, he got a job with Haley’s political action committee – The Movement Fund.

Haley – a former Tea Partier – has been tight with Bush’s campaign (although not always to its benefit).  Of course she’s also been tight with the campaign of Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, viewed by many as the favorite to receive her endorsement in the event he can maintain his early “First in the South” frontrunner status.

totally Fed UP!!! July 21, 2015 at 11:14 am

I will not support Bush for his refusal to accept the need to seal our borders and mostly his refusal to endorse Kate’s Law! This law is badly needed to help prevent illegal felons from reentering our country and committing more crimes! This legislation is named for Kate Steinly of San Francisco, a sanctuary city harboring illegals and refusing to abide by the law. Kate was murdered by illegal who had committed 7 felonies, deported and reentered the Country five times, for sanctuary in San Francisco, knowing he would NOT be deported! Kate was murdered by this illegal, not undocumented Mr. Obama/Hillary, ILLEGAL! There have been , between 2010 &2014 , 121 criminal Aliens charged with homicides and homicide related crimes, when they should have been deported!!!!!
Where can Americans find sanctuary from these criminals, illegals, and terrorist? POTUS (Obama) shows NO concern for American Citizens, or our Valiant Military!
He wishes to disarm law abiding Americans, refuses to lower flags to half staff after the murders of our 4 Marines and 1 Sailor murdered in Chattanooga, Tennessee!

Key word “Finally”. He did NOT wait for days when he lit the White House in rainbow colors for the Supreme Courts decision on gay marriage, for black citizens who were shot.
Obama lives by a sick, ideological, hypocritical, unpatriotic double standard and only lowered the Flag ,for our murdered soldiers, after catching the Devil and being forced by public opinion!!
