George W. Bush: Those silencing protesters 'do not understand the meaning of America'
Washington Examiner ^ | June 2, 2020 | Caitlin Yilek

“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.”

I wondered throughout Dubya’s tenure whether his right-wingery was a pose to win office. I wonder no more.

Stopping rioters <> silencing protesters.

What in the Sam Hill was he talking about? Who is trying to silence protesters? Is he conflating peaceful protesters with rioters? And if he’s doing that why in the Sam Hill is he doing that?

And how are we supposed to listen when rioting is going on?

Protest away. Who cares? Burn down a business? Not sure what they teach in Yale, but that is NOT protesting.

Public and continued dishonesty is a terrible thing. Particularly from a person of influence.

“And if I were still president,” Bush added, “I’d invade at least three more countries for no good reason.”
