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.

From the whitest state in the union, no less...
President Trump’s truthful remarks were only incendiary to the media.
Honesty scares them, so they cover their ears and cry when a powerful man faces them down with facts.
Poppy only disapproves of politically incorrect racism.
He’s fine with politically correct racism.
As did President Trump.
I understand that the Bushes are still miffed that President Trump destroyed Jeb's candidacy at the starting gate. But in the interests of not tarnishing the some good that was part of their legacy, they should not be pouring kerosene on a fire stirred up by the Leftwing media.
Do I speak truth, or not?
Bush jr. should shut h up considering he brought the Iraqi war, 2008 financial meltdown and Obama to American people
No one I know.
BTW, Trish Regan was unwatchable today. Will never watch her again.
Good for them.
Did they condemn cancer, too? MS? Toothaches? The Borg? Bullying? Diaper rash? Body odor? Mass murder?
The Bush family, like McCain, never met a military intervention they didn’t like. The reasons are obvious. War enriches billionaires,strengthens the surveillance state, increases budgets for criminal organizations like the C.I.A., increases taxes, and destabilizes the 3rd world even further, bringing in more cheap labor and easily manipulated future voters. War is the ultimate elitist wet dream.
“America must always reject racial bigotry...the ex-presidents said in a statement issued from their vacation home in Kennebunkport, Maine.”
I note the irony of the Bushes speaking from Kennebunkport, Maine -one of the most lily white enclaves in America (being 99.0% White and only 0.2% Black).
That top photo is enough to cause clinical depression.
The “soft bigotry of low expectations”..?
In other words the expectations of the Dims and RINOs.
Go back to cocaine trafficking and stealing money from Haitians.
Funny how thse two JOs were silent during the Obama years.
Just wouldn’t be prudent to speak up then.
So they can STFU now.
He didn’t say that.
He said, “We call these ‘the brown ones.’”
Preposterous—claiming a man is racist against his own grandchildren.
The entire Bush family are nothing but globalists.
