Jeb Bush is denying a report that claimed he's voting for Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson. Bush says he hasn't made a decision and suggested he may not cast a ballot at all.

'If everybody didn't vote, that would be a pretty powerful political statement, wouldn't it?' he said, according to CNN, after he was asked what would happen if other voters followed his lead.

The Republican politician's father George H.W. Bush had his plans to cross party lines at vote for Hillary Clinton revealed by Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy.

Bush said at a Thursday event in Massachusetts at a venue named after Townsend's uncle, John F. Kennedy, that he thought her behavior was 'a little inappropriate' and trashed her for taking advantage of his father.

'I thought it was a little inappropriate for a person to overhear a frail, 92-year-old man, in a private setting, at a reception for the Points of Light foundation -- which focuses on volunteerism -- to hear this and immediately go on Facebook and put it on there and then go on national television and not even show up at the board meeting,' he said. 'I thought that was inappropriate.'

He did not use Townsend's name as he assailed her for betraying his father.

Earlier this month the Democrat posted a photo of herself with the 41st President of the United States on the social media platform that said, 'The President told me he's voting for Hillary!!'

The photo was taken at the Bush family home in Kennebunkport, Maine, during a board meeting for the international non-profit founded by the former president.

George H.W. Bush's spokesman, Jim McGrath, would not say at the time who the elderly Republican president intends to support in November.

'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 said.

Jeb Bush has said he has no intention of voting for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Neither meet the 'threshold' to sit in the Oval Office, he said Thursday.

'I'm at peace with my decision,' he said, at the same time claiming, 'I haven't made up my mind what I'm going to do.

Bush told reporters after a speaking engagement at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of government, 'It's a secret ballot.'

At a private luncheon Wednesday Bush reportedly told an attendee who complained about Trump and Clinton to vote for Johnson.

'There was an old man talking to Jeb across the table and said, "I can't bring myself to vote for Hillary and Trump," and Jeb looked at him and mouthed the word "Johnson," silently,' a New York Daily News source said.

Bush says the source was mistaken.

'I don't think so,' he told reporters asking about the conversation.

The failed presidential candidate said he's not 'angry' about losing the GOP nomination to Trump, although the loss was 'really disappointing.'

'I'm not going to change who I am. I'm not going to be angry,' he said.

Ripping Trump, however, he said, 'I'm committed to my views and I fight for my views, but the idea that you're weak if you're warm-hearted or you believe that someone that disagrees with you is an evil person, man we got to stop that. That is just dangerous for our democracy.'
