A colonial-dressing tea party member from Georgia is calling for a boycott of Jeb Bush's appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference.
"I’m asking for a mass bathroom retreat, nice and polite,"
William Temple, who calls himself the "colonial face of the tea party" and dresses as Button Gwinnett, one of three Georgia signers of the Declaration of Independence,
told The Miami Herald.
"I like Jeb as a friend, but I don’t like CPAC inviting non-conservatives."
Temple told The Miami Herald he's opposed to the former Florida governor's stand on Common Core education standards and on immigration.
"It’s pretty clear the Republican side wants none of that," Temple said.
Bush is expected to take part in a 20-minute, question-and-answer session Friday with
Fox News host Sean Hannity.
