The New York Daily News checked the status of the daughters of former Republican president George W. Bush and found that their party registration do not say “Republican.”
Jenna, who registered in New York soon after her daughter was born is registered with the Independence Party and her twin sister is registered in Texas as an Independent.
The News reports that Jenna’s registration was actually a mistake, that her intention was to register as an independent, but signed up for the Independence Party instead. According to a spokesperson for Jenna Bush, the mistake was due to “very little sleep. ”
“Jenna registered to vote in New York soon after her daughter was born, and like all new moms, she was functioning on very little sleep. She mistakenly registered for the Independence Party,” said Megan Kopf Stackhouse, a spokeswoman for the former President’s daughter.
Don’t worry ladies, I know that being a Republican these days is not what it used to be. And I actually commend you both for realizing that fact and choosing not to be affiliated with the party your father once led.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s better to mistakenly be a member of the Independence Party than to intentionally be a Republican.
Good one!
