George W. Bush: 'Bigotry seems emboldened' in US
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."

Just shut up, W.

You’re time is over, go away.

Your idea of “civility” is total surrender to the Rat tards.

W remained silent all those eight long years of the Obama Regime.

And now? Now he comes forward with criticisms?

This SOB is a "republican"?

He's all about Mexican domination of the Southwest so his kid can run for President.

Thought we did away with hereditary monarchs.

4000 irreplaceable heroes dead, 30 000 maimed, and the main enemies sleep soundly in their beds in Riyadh and Islamabad.

STFU you disgusting turd. It is humiliating that I voted for you, twice.

Since when is American nationalism, White Supremacy?

Where are all those con-servatives who voted for and supported these globalist AH's like Boosh?

That ignorant ass. I saw the speech and it was a tour de force in opposing Trump and backing up every Hillary talking point. The rest was a nonstop commercial for globalism, although he was really nice and said as they pursue globalism, they should remember that some people get hurt by it.

really nice of him. /s

I am so disappointed by shrub 43. My wife and I gave this pea brained little shit so much money, that I could cry.

He talked a good game until he got elected and then he became the pussy boy that he has always been.

gwb, just STFU and go back home and help sneak another couple more illegals into the USA, you dick.

He says we need to accept globalism. He probably knows the globalists, such as himself, want to kill those who resist.

Calling Trump the governing class is rich.

The punching bag speaks....

THIS.

GWB was to be the permanent template for Republicans: never fight back, unless it is another Republican and it will earn you points with the left as "one of the good ones."

Sixty million plus Americans rejected that crap nearly one year ago. We want someone who fights back, speaks his mind and defends his opinion, not a milquetoast mush like GWB's "please clap" brother who would drop to his knees to apologize at the first frown from a grievance group.

He’s mistaking the white working class being pissed off for being shat on for the last 50 years, for whatever he’s claiming.

He needs to get out among the common folks. He’d get an earful if he did.

GW Bush is a hypocrite and failed President.

He failed all of America, bloating the budget and initiating a war where the US had no interests. It killed thousands of our best and led to the rise of ISIS, Iran’s dominance of the middle east and Russia’s return there.

His piss-poor, corrupt judgement led directly to setting the entire Islamic world afire. And provided the model for future neocon, neolib adventures.

Nobody but the left cares what he has to say, and he’s busy trying to redeem himself with them.

Here is audio of a Bush speech. This was just a couple years prior to the housing collapse, where Bush was demanding home loans for totally unqualified minorities.

If you include the republican primary that would be recent years.
