The Hill ^ | October 19, 2017 | Rebecca Savransky

Posted on 10/19/2017 9:13:39 AM PDT by GuavaCheesePuff

Former President George W. Bush said Thursday that "bigotry seems emboldened" in the modern U.S. He also warned that the U.S. needs to accept "globalization" and reject "white supremacy."

He criticized the “governing class” without specifically mentioning President Trump.

"Discontent deepened and sharpened partisan conflicts" in recent years, he observed during a speech for the George W. Bush Institute. "Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seem more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication."

He never said a word when we were abused and assaulted by the kenyan. Not a single word.

I assume he’s talking about BLM, the Black Congressional Caucus, the NAACP, and the NFL Players Union.

“Discontent deepened and sharpened partisan conflicts” in recent years, he observed during a speech for the George W. Bush Institute. “Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seem more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication.”

How is “recent years” referring to Pres. trump?

.... caused by Obama.

He also warned that the U.S. needs to accept "globalization"

No, thank you.

and reject "white supremacy."

How are whites 'superior' any more? White is the New Nigger.

George, you had your day, now is time the time for you to retire. You left the nation in worse shape. Your comments are worthless.

I can’t believe I defended this idiot when he was president. I wish I would take it all back.

He really is as stupid as they said he was, maybe even more so.

W has gone beyond being just a punching bag. He is now part of the opposition. So perhaps “Quisling” is a better term to use.

Seriously. What is being called bigotry is simply good people tired of being robbed and actually putting their foot down about it.

He’s right. But it’s not Trump’s fault. Obama got this ball rolling.

He prefers progressive Democrats to the people that elected him POTUS. Couldn’t be more clear.
