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

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.”

I’ve always felt GHW Bush was forced on Reagan, the price of an uncontested convention.

I’ll bet that’s the first time he has ever used the term “systemic racism.”

Welp, between himself, and his immediate predecessor and immediate successor, they had a quarter century to deal with “systemic racism”. What happened?

Mr Bush, do you like looters and people who have no respect for the Law? Do you support their illegal activities?

What has happened to you???

"Dubya is the reason I’m no longer a Republican. But he was really just the final straw."

Can you vote in primaries of either party? I live in New York State, and you can only vote in the primary, for the party you are registered in. As a Republican, I can only vote in Republican primaries. I changed to Independent once, and found out that I couldn't cast a vote in any of the primaries, so I quickly changed it back.

Nobody is silencing the protestors. We have been listening to them for five days now.

And did George come to the defense of the Open Up protestors a few weeks ago when many were trying to shut them down?
