Former president George W. Bush addressed the nationwide protests in a solemn yet hopeful statement Tuesday, commending the Americans demonstrating against racial injustice and criticizing those who try to silence them.

Bush closed his statement, which came a day after peaceful protesters were cleared by force to make way for President Trump to come outside, by pointing to a “better way.”

“There is a better way — the way of empathy, and shared commitment, and bold action, and a peace rooted in justice,” Bush said in the statement. “I am confident that together, Americans will choose the better way.”

Describing himself as “anguished” by the death of George Floyd, who died more than a week ago after his held was held under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer, Bush urged white Americans to seek ways to support, listen and understand black Americans who still face “disturbing bigotry and exploitation.”

what is there to say?

He’s his own worst enemy.

The Left is in all out war mode, and Bush is responding with
virtue signaling.

[oldbill]

We are seeing creeping senility and dementia, just like Barry Goldwater in his later years.

[American in Israel]

Was not sure that this was a globalist plot till Bush chimed in.

This is an resurrection, not a riot.

Shoot to kill.

Take a hike Dubya. You phony fool.

[wardamneagle]

And Chicago and all the other inner blue city black on black murders are no issue.

One wrlders should move somewhere better...

We will be moving somewhere better. Then the anti Christ and his minions will be crushed.

“Compassionate Conservatism” AKA Political Correctness.

Go away Dubya. We’ve had enough of you.

RE:”We are seeing creeping senility and dementia, just like Barry Goldwater in his later years.”

Biden is as sharp as a tack, he is going to ‘beat Trump like a drum’.

Play mental war against him at your own risk.

Did you see the pics of him meeting with black preachers? Tear jerkers.

Then ‘you ain't black’

Why don't you just go on out and join the looting? You've crossed over to the wrong side here, George. You're pandering to the people who have always hated you and will never accept you, Thinking you'll get some kind of "I'm not a racist" award or pin or something. So before you go strutting about like a bandy rooster you might want to consider that in order to do that, you willingly slapped those of us who did support you in the face. You did the same thing with your appeasement of Nancy and Harry during your admin. It's one of the reasons (and there are many), that so many people now dislike you.

Very very unwise.

[plain talk]

OK President Bush. No disagreement that “knee to neck” was a stupid move by this cop who has since been arrested and charged with 3rd degree murder.

So what do you think about the riots and looting?

Best wishes

GWB is just appeasing his globalist overlords as are the rest of the criminal democrats and the DC establishment cabal. It’s obvious that the democrats aren’t worried about being thrown out of office in November for their siding with the violent rioters. Maybe they’re hoping our country will achieve so much chaos and damage in the streets that there won’t even be a November election. They have to stop Trump from exposing the level of crime that exists in DC and from naming those criminals. There has to be a reason these democrat governors and mayors aren’t concerned about voter retaliation. Something is up and you can bet that it won’t be good for peace, freedom and liberty in America!

GWB and Romney need to join McCain six feet under.

[americas.best.days...]

I hate that I voted for every one of these pieces of crap.

Pretty sure I’ll never regret my Trump votes. And after Trump, there’s either an America First type of candidate for my vote or No vote. No more globalist GOP.

RE:”And Chicago and all the other inner blue city black on black murders are no issue.”

For Dems and GWB/Romney/McCain Republicans, they never existed.

The black AND white business owners beaten and killed for asking rioters to spare their businesses, never existed.

Just like aborted babies, never existed.

Boosh may be fluffing up Biden’s leg hair like a little roach.

[YouGoTexasGirl]

He forgets the basics in The Bible yet calls himself a Christian!!! Hey, W....

Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not steal.
Thou shalt not covet.

He’s sold America out to global gold.

RE:”OK President Bush. .....So what do you think about the riots and looting?”

To him the victims never existed : #74

Today I cleaned out my old stuff and came across a GWBush T-shirt I still had.
My granddaughter was helping and said ,do you want this.
I said NO! Trash it!
That's How I feel about that! ;)

[clintonh8r]

Too bad they aren’t there to join him....

“It is a strength when protesters, protected by responsible law enforcement, march for a better future.”

I’ll lay odds that if little Jenna (who’s now working from home due to the Covid plandemic) returns to the NBC studio in NYC he’d certainly want responsible law enforcement to protect her precious posterior.
