Former President George H. W. Bush is alleged to be firmly ensconced in the Clinton camp and planning to cast his vote for Hillary Clinton on Election Day, according to a member of the Kennedy family.

Kathleen Hartington Kennedy Townsend, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy and the niece of President John F. Kennedy, posted a picture on Facebook Monday of herself posing with Bush and shaking his hand. Kennedy Townsend, a proud Democrat who served for eight years as the lieutenant governor in Maryland, accompanied the photo with this caption: “The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”

“The President told me he’s voting for Hillary!!”

Kennedy Townsend told Politico that she met with Bush in Maine on Monday, where the photo was taken, and insisted that the former president told her he’d be voting Democrat this time around.

“That’s what he said,” she told the publication.

Bush has neither confirmed nor denied Townsend Kennedy’s assertion. His spokesman, Jim McGrath, merely informed Politico in an email that, “The vote President Bush will cast as a private citizen in some 50 days will be just that: a private vote cast in some 50 days. He is not commenting on the presidential race in the interim.”

It’s no secret that the Bush family dynasty harbors ill feelings toward Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. As a vocal champion of anti-Establishment and anti-elite sentiments, Trump has prioritized bringing change to the Republican Party throughout his campaign. And let’s not forget the havoc Trump wreaked upon the former president’s son, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, when he made his ill-fated bid for the Republican nomination this year. “Low-energy Jeb,” as Trump loved to call him, will most likely never live down that epithet.

The former president, Jeb Bush, and former President George W. Bush all snubbed the Republican National Convention held in July, refusing to speak or even attend. None of them has endorsed Donald Trump, and though Jeb has said he cannot vote for Trump or Clinton, the other two Bushes have remained largely mum on the Clinton topic – until now.

In a marked break from the rest of the family, Jeb’s son, George P. Bush, announced in early August that he would be voting for Trump as he urged the fractured Republican Party to rally behind its nominee.

“From Team Bush, it’s a bitter pill to swallow — but you know what? You get back up and you help the man that won, and you make sure that we stop Hillary Clinton,” George P. Bush said, according to video made by an audience member at a gathering of Texas Republican activists.

But the other Bushes have been unable to swallow that “bitter pill,” and the eldest Bush apparently has now gone so far as to take an entirely different pill by crossing party lines.
