Former president George H.W. Bush and his son George W. Bush condemned hatred and bigotry on Wednesday a day after President Trump incendiary comments further inflamed racial tensions in the US.
America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in all forms, the ex-presidents said in a statement issued from their vacation home in Kennebunkport, Maine.

As we pray for Charlottesville, we are reminded of the fundamental truths recorded by that citys most prominent citizen in the Declaration of Independence: we are all created equal and endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights, they said in a reference to Thomas Jefferson.
We know these truths to be everlasting because we have seen the decency and greatness of our country.
While not mentioning Trump by name, the former commanders-in-chief were clearly expressing their outrage over his divisive rhetoric during a bizarre news conference on Tuesday in which he said both sides were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville during the weekend.

Yeah, I can tell by the membership at their country clubs.
Don’t forget La Raza, they are big backers of the racist National Council of The Race.
Where were you two when blacks were rioting in Ferguson and Baltimore? Hmmm? When was the last time you two paid any attention to blacks murdering each other in Chicago, and New Orleans, and Baltimore? Hmmm?
“The only way Americans can prove they are not hateful and racist,” continued the elder President Bush, “is to open the borders and allow tens of millions of more people from third world countries to migrate into the United States.”
“Only when wage levels for working people have fallen to the level where globalist business executives can afford to buy two additional vacation homes, will Americans have proven to me that they are not racist,” he said.
“When the Religion of Peace has become the dominant religion in our country and Sharia Law is instituted throughout the land, then I will know that Americans are no longer bigots,” added the elder Bush.
Bigotry:
“intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.”
I’m thinking there was bigotry on both sides of that event. And apparently the bushes don’t care for it, kinda like Trump.
Just sayin’. :-)
Oh who gives a s$!t what they think? They’re part of the problem. Just shut your pie-holes and the same goes for Obammy!!
It sounded similar to me too. I dislike the Bushes, but the writer seems to be drawing innacurrate conclusions from their statements.
Did the Bushes ever happen to condemn the racism of their favorite country, Mexico?
Maybe they never noticed it.
Says who? They were saing the same thing Trump said, but using different words.

I’m noticing there is way too much emphasis on labels like “racial bigotry”. When you parse the words, there is nothing special about what the presidents said. They are being politicians, stating the obvious in a way that no sane person would disagree with them. even though the statement is pretty pointless.
Of course the statement applies to both sides if what they are condemning is being done on both sides. They just didn’t directly call it out.
Trump is not a politician. He calls it what it is, and then gets condemned for it by those bigoted against him. And that’s the funny part.
The Bush family are the ones the opened the door for what we have today. Compassionate Conservatism my a$$!
Pitiful Cowards.
These spineless former presidents say “America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in all forms,” Yet, they fail to condemn the hatred of the BLM and Antifa people and fall lockstep with the media and leftists. They lack the integrity and courage to stand up and tell the truth. They continue to follow the pattern of their actions as president — spineless and uni-party globalism with the Left setting the agenda.
Exactly. This is absolutely infuriating. I don’t understand how condemning EVERYONE INVOLVED is racist.
George HW Bush’s father (and his idiot warmongering son’s grandfather) Prescott was heavily involved in investing in, and promoting Nazi Germany. A lot worse than anything Trump SAID.
GW was a nice guy. He coined the phrase that Islam is a ROP. So insightful of him.
They’re praying? Is W praying to Allah? He prays to the same god as The Muslims.they didn’t mention that Jefferson owned slaves.
What a sorry bunch.
