Bush Center highlights North Korean human rights abuses after summit
The Hill ^ | 6.12.2018 | JACQUELINE THOMSEN

Posted on 06/12/2018 6:57:30 PM PDT by libh8er

The George W. Bush Presidential Center is tweeting out coverage and analysis of human rights abuses in North Korea, just one day after President Trump’s historic summit with the country’s leader on Tuesday.

The center has shared older posts on the human rights violations as well as pieces arguing for human rights to be included in future talks with North Korea.

Asked about the posts, a spokesperson for the Bush Center told The Hill that it was “simply sharing content that we work on every day within our Human Freedom Initiative.”

The spokesperson did not directly respond to an emailed question about whether the center was advocating for Trump to raise the human rights issues with North Korean leaders, or whether the former president or his office had any involvement in the decision to highlight the issue.

One of the pieces promoted on Tuesday is a Bush Center interview with North Korean dissident and author Kang Chol-Hwan, who escaped from the country after spending 10 years in a prison camp.

The center has also shared a video by the Bush Institute Deputy Director of Human Freedom Lindsay Lloyd advocating for the U.S. to raise the human rights abuses in future talks with North Korea.

Maybe President Trump should release the papers surrounding Panama and Noriega. Noriega went on TV and said he ad Documented Evidence of the Bush Clan and their Drug Dealing, the NEXT DAY WE INVADED PANAMA!!!

Noriega has not been heard from since and when his sentence was up we extradited him to another country to Die in Prison.

I’ve come to believe he was far worse than we know.

It’s my take he signed on to many things that were quietly supportive of the global hive.

If we only new...

Whey do I say this? Look at the man’s comments after leaving office. He’s never upbeat on the U. S. He’s always upbeat on open borders and the globalist ilk.

Bush League Republicans are largely responsible for the human rights abuses of US citizens by illegal aliens in the USA.

Bush League Republicans have been preventing the enforcement of laws and borders for 30 years.

EFF OFF ALL BUSHES!

Oh, I know, Kim is a murdering, torturing, despicable dictator:

LET’S LET HIM HAVE NUKES.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

Bushie, the brainless speaks.

Sorry, but Human Rights Violations are the crux of getting this deal done.

How do you reform NK into a functioning, non-tyrannical society when it’s own people will be screaming for Kim’s head once they are freed?

And, seriously, if you go back and look at the record, one of the few people in Washington speaking out against the Tiananmen Square abuses/massacre was Nancy Pelosi, though long before she was in leadership.

George W. Bush was president for 8 years. Exactly what did he do...

Well, he started a $ 5 Trillion ( and counting) war that led to the toppling of stable regimes across the M.E., loss of thousands of US military lives , tens of thousands of civilian lives, destruction of entire cities, slicing off of countless heads, people being thrown off rooftops or burnt alive in cages... and of course to paving the path for Baraq Hussein Obama.

Trump accomplished in one night last night without firing a single shot what both these idiot Bushes couldn't accomplish in their careers. So naturally there is some bitterness.

Yeah, like whatever did the Bushes ever once do about any of the ongoing NK human rights violations? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

And after the Berlin Wall fell and Soviet Satellite states were seeking American support for their freedom from Soviet Russian totalitarianism what did papa Bush do to help support them when they begged for his help? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

And what did Obomination do to support the Iranian young people who arose enmass, revolted against their totalitarian Islamic fundamentalist overlords and wanted to be free? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

They are all a bunch of grandstanding hypocrites!
