Additional Information | George H.W. Bush uttered the phrase, “Read my lips: no new taxes” during his party’s 1988 nomination address at the Republican National Convention. Bush later raised taxes during his presidency, and the words were used against him during the 1992 Bill Clinton presidential campaign. Clinton and running-mate Al Gore went on to defeat Bush and Dan Quayle, taking office on January 20, 1993. |
