Donald Trump, Jr. Pulls Out Of NY Fundraiser For George P. Bush After Dad Jeb's Criticism Of Immigration Policy [TXPolitics 24/7 blog]


Donald Trump, Jr. won't participate in a campaign fundraiser for Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush as Bush's father, Jeb Bush, continued to criticize the Trump policy on family separation, reports Axios and CNN.

A source told Axios that the younger Bush was warned by the younger Trump in recent weeks that he would not be able to publicly support him if Bush's father, Jeb Bush - a 2016 primary campaign opponent of Donald Trump,  continued to criticize the president.

In a tweet Monday, Jeb Bush said, "Children shouldn't be used as a negotiating tool. @realDonaldTrump should end this heartless policy and Congress should get an immigration deal done that provides for asylum reform, border security and a path to citizenship for Dreamers."

The fundraiser was scheduled for New York on June 25.
