Charles Murray, a scholar at the right-wing American Enterprise
Institute, is most known for his book The Bell Curve, which argued that
intelligence differences among racial groups explaining inequalities in
America. It is widely regarded as an attempt to justify racism using
pseudo-science.

This week, Murray apparently gained a new fan. At an event with the
National Review, Bush explained that his view on the breakup of American
families has been informed by the notorious right-wing writer.

According to Talking Points Memo:

[National Review editor Rich] Lowry asked Bush, “… is there any
policy or anything public officials can do to help turn back what has
been a rising tide of family breakdown crossing decades now?�

“Absolutely, there is,� Bush, a likely 2016 Republican presidential
candidate, said. “It’s not exactly the core. My views on this were
shaped a lot on this by Charles Murray’s book, except I was reading the
book and I was waiting for the last chapter with the really cool
solutions — didn’t quite get there.�

Later in the interview, Lowry asked Bush what he likes to read.
Again, he cited Murray.

I like Charles Murray books to be honest with you, which means I’m
a total nerd I guess,� Bush said.

By endorsing Murray’s simple-minded and offensive worldview, Bush seems
to be following in the footsteps of his brother. While at Yale, George
W. Bush insisted to his classmates, “Poor people are poor because
they’re lazy.� The idea that the poor are poor because of family
problems, or race, is convenient for a family built on generational
wealth and privilege.
