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.

the former commanders-in-chief were clearly expressing their outrage over his divisive rhetoric during a bizarre news conference on Tuesday

Uh, no, they weren't. That is not clear from their statements AT ALL.

The younger Bush seems incapable of clearly expressing thoughts anyhow.

How is it divisive rhetoric for Trump to insist that both sides of a rumble bear responsibility for that rumble? Please, gentlemen, get up from the table with the Mad Hatter, and make comments that are relevant. And while trying to do so, please have the integrity to acknowledge that Thomas Jefferson would never identify with the thugs supporting taking down a monument to Robert E. Lee, one who was a Jeffersonian in philosophy & of a family with which he would have been well acquainted.

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?

Who supports bigotry?

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).

The “soft bigotry of low expectations”..?

In other words the expectations of the Dims and RINOs.

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.
