George W. Bush on Trump presidency: 'I don't like the racism'
The Washington Examiner ^ | February 27, 2017 | Caitlin Yilek

Posted on 02/28/2017 3:21:38 AM PST by kevcol

Former President George W. Bush is criticizing President Donald Trump's first month in office, though he remains optimistic about the future.

"I don't like the racism and I don't like the name-calling and I don't like the people feeling alienated," Bush told People magazine.

"Nobody likes that."

.
.
.
"I didn't feel like speaking out before because I didn't want to complicate the job and I'm not going to this time. However, at the Bush Center we are speaking up."

The Bush Center programs include immigration ceremonies, AIDS prevention programs in Africa and leadership training for Muslim women.

When a politician compromises himself completely and betrays his country, he has to have something he can cling to in order to make himself seem respectable to himself and others. For Bush, salvation comes by way of condemning racism.

During his talk at Gerald Ford’s funeral, Bush talked about racism. He said that racism was “the worst possible thing.” Why would someone bring up the subject of racism at a funeral? He had a nationwide, if not worldwide, audience. He wanted to parade his righteousness. It is an easy, convenient righteousness. It does not require any action, does not require any effort or discipline.

he’s a wonderful example as to why so many people believe there is only one party and conservatives have no voice other than Trump

Trump won over 30% of the “Hispanic” vote.

“I don’t like the racism and I don’t like the name-calling and I don’t like the people feeling alienated,”

...I don’t like ILLEGAL aliens. I think the name calling is refreshing quite frankly considering we’re dealing with petulant 10 year olds in the press, and the only ones being “alienated” are ILLEGALS and the press. So it all works for me just fine.

Typical GOPe Repub. Never a bad thing to say about America-hating commie DemonRATS but they wont hesitate to stab a fellow repub in the back and give aid and comfort to those that hate them. Then the Bushits wonder why no one supported Jebtard (aka tippy-toe) in the primary.

Trump’s actions have nothing o do with racism. It’s called keeping your country from being bankrupted and overrun by illegal immigrants and keeping it safe from foreign invaders and terrorists. But to be fair, George W wasn’t always that smart.

Kept silent for 8 years while the most racist President protected outright thugs and admonished white police officers who were defending themselves.

Bush, I don’t like NWO liars.

That's what we got when he declared himself a "Compassionate Conservative" (short for "A Tool of the Left").

I guess Dan Rather taught him nothing....

Wow. Just....wow.

The Bush center is a Leftist non profit.

The Bush center completely caters to foreigners. No regard for traditional Americans.

We were certainly fooled by those bastards.

W you are just proofing you are not the brightest bulb in the box. Better to keep quiet and thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

Neither the Republican Party nor the conservative movement will be viable in the long run without winning a competitive share of the hispanic vote.

Complete bullshit.

The only people that say that are fraud GOP consultants when they lie, or naive Cuckservatives.

What a disappointment he was. Will never forgive him for leaving those two immigration officers out to dry and for letting Libby get screwed

Conservatives always abandon their friends and allies. Every single time.
