George P. Bush to protesters: 'Don't mess with the Alamo'
George P. Bush
— Texas land commissioner and son of former presidential hopeful Jeb
Bush — has drawn a line in the sand for any protesters who aspire to
damage the Alamo.
“Don’t mess withe the Alamo,” Mr. Bush
said in a tweet on Saturday after rumors began to circulate that
alternative factions might be targeting the iconic Alamo in San Antonio —
which comes under the care of his office.
“The
Alamo is the Shrine of Texas Liberty. And it will be defended. My
office is closely watching the social media posts and rumors from
protesters who are threatening to come to the Alamo,” Mr. Bush said.
“Rest
assured we have already deployed, for several weeks and will continue
to do so, the Alamo Rangers in partnership with San Antonio Police
Department, the Department of Public Safety and The National Guard to
protect this sacred site,” Mr. Bush continued.
“My message to the protesters is simple: Don’t mess with The Alamo,” he said.
The
current structure in San Antonio — which has three-foot thick limestone
block walls — was built in 1758, but originally founded as the Chapel
of the Mission San Antonio de Valero in 1718. New security fencing was
recently installed at the site. A nearby war memorial has already been
tagged with red paint.
Mr. Bush, who counts George W. Bush as his uncle and George H.W. Bush as his grandfather, recently endorsed President Trump’s reelection campaign.
“President
Trump is the only thing standing between America and socialism. I
endorsed President Trump in the 2016 election cycle and plan to do so
again in 2020,” Mr. Bush said in a statement to the Dallas Morning News and the Texas Tribune.

The Texas Freedom Force a armed Militia group is also standing guard. These Good Old Boys have already held off a previous attack when the Alamo Rangers were over run by protestors. I heard they like to carry all manner of weapons as there are no illegal weapons in Texas.
Works for me.
