How do we end systemic racism in our society? The only way to see ourselves in a true light is to listen to the voices of so many who are hurting and grieving,” Bush said in a statement Tuesday.
“Those who set out to silence those voices do not understand the meaning of America — or how it becomes a better place,” he said.
Bush said he and his wife, Laura, have “resisted the urge to speak out, because this is not the time for us to lecture. It is time for us to listen.”

My neighborhood in Manhattan is eviscerated and looks like a war zone. DeBlasio and Cuomo are an utter disgrace. This is not America. Our leaders have abandoned us and continue to let great American cities burn to the ground and be destroyed. I never could have fathomed this]
Yeah George, you and your old man took out Saddam Hussein so as to please your oil buddies in Kuwait. You replaced the dictator of Iraq who was holding back Iran. What you replaced Saddam with was total chaos.
The World Trade Center was destroyed along with thousands of lives on your watch. Then you ran around claiming victory and flying a fighter jet out to an aircraft carrier, while at the same time the guy who caused it was left to run about the Middle East for years.
I forget her name but the late former Democrat governor of Texas said it right when she said that you were “Born with a silver spoon in your mouth.” So, just stay on your farm, shut up and leave us regular Americans who have to work for a living alone.
Protesters have not been silenced. Terrorists, yes.
Who Mr. President, is silencing protesters. Not one person. Thugs and criminals who are destroying our cities...their very own communities, yeah, we are all for shutting them down. By force if necessary.
If the governors or mayors don’t want the help of the military, then they can go it alone. Just don’t ask for my taxpayer contribution to rebuild what they let get destroyed.
ummm who exactly is “silencing” protestors? I haven’t seen a single instance of that. Quite the reverse actually. Many of those Klantifa “protestors” are the ones who want to silence anybody else - and they’re quite willing to use violence to do so.
George is ate to with guilt.
This scum bag fooled me. Mea culpa. But what choice did the GOP give us? It was either this backstabber, or the Dem backstabber John Kerry.
I regret ever voting for this D-bag. I was talking about it with some conservative friends this weekend. They said “but he was better than Gore would have been!” I said “are you sure?” I don’t think it would have made any difference. Gore may even have been better.
F U G B
This guy is not even a one watt bulb.
W. or McCain? It’s a real toss up for me.
POS
Culpa, culpa, mea maxima culpa!! I voted for that ASS WIPE twice.
Bush needs to step outside his bubble.
We don’t want to silence protestors (unless they keep caterwalling after nightfall when decent people want to have dinner and go to bed after a little telly).
We want to silence rioters (by giving them a nice cozy warm secure place to spend the next few years where they, too, can have dinner and go to bed after a little telly).
He obviously doesn’t understand the word “protestor”.
You are right on this. When the press dictated that the word “riot” was not to be used, they effectively stopped the ability to think about the difference between the two. I do not see anyone inhibiting protest. We need more people against rioting.
No one is silencing the damned protesters. They haven’t shut up for at least ten days.
Bush disgusts me now.
I finally jumped ship on him in 2009 when he laughed off the Tea Party. At that moment I knew.
I don’t know if this is true. But I’ve heard that George W. Bush will be attending George Floyd’s funeral. Will the media assert it is a “photo op?”
Or do the media and the Bushes not give a damn. Bush has barely criticized the looters, arsonists, and violence.
Will George Bush be attending the funerals of others killed the last several days, by rioters, including innocent citizens and police officers? If he’d like their names, I’d be happy to provide them.
(rephrasing Mark Levin)
Don’t worry God won. Time to go on both knees and let go. Ask for guidance and wisdom. Only he can provide the path forward.
It is clear we are dealing with forces beyond our intellectual ability to comprehend and respond.
Pray discern and do what is in the best interest for those around us.
FU W
How’s this for being silenced?! Do you stand up to this? No! You support it!
