1978 Race for Congress
During a local radio debate against state Sen. Kent Hance, a Democrat, during their 1978 congressional race, an inexperienced Bush was unable to keep his cool under pressure, becoming visibly angry when asked about his family’s ties to the Trilateral Commission and a “one-world government.” He was still fuming after the event, cursing the talk-show host and refusing to shake hands.
During a televised 1978 debate, Hance characterized Bush as an Ivy League Washington insider running on his family name. Hance argued that Washington was corrupt because Yalies like Bush had the run of the place, and noted that in contrast his own “daddy and granddad were farmers. They didn’t have anything to do with the mess we’re in right now, and Bush’s father has been in politics his whole life.”
I thought this trilateral commission+one world government was just conspiracy talk, didn't realize they talked about it during debates back in the 70s ! :O
