Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush issued a message to protesters threatening the Alamo: “Don’t mess with The Alamo.”
Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was responding to social media rumors that protesters were demanding the historic site be torn down.
“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 protestors who are threatening to come to The Alamo,” Bush said in a June 13 statement on Twitter.
“Rest assured we have already deployed, for several weeks and will continue to do so, the Alamo Rangers in partnership with SAPD, The Department of Public Safety and The National Guard to protect this sacred site.
“My message to the protestors is simple: Don’t mess with The Alamo.”
This morning I joined @kilmeade on #FoxAndFriends to talk about threats to the Alamo and what we’re doing to protect it. Don’t mess with Texas, and don’t mess with the Alamo. pic.twitter.com/YFS6THcHsm
