George W. Bush calls out racial injustices and celebrates protesters who ‘march for a better future’(Compassionate Conservatism)
Washington Post ^ | June 2, 2020 | Colby Itkowitz

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.”

"and a peace rooted in justice,” Obummer couldn’t have said it better.

He probably helped him write it.

Look on the bright side - George P Bush should, hopefully, be toast in TX politics.

Hey George remember yours and Karl's bringing "a new tone" to Washington?

Guess what? the song is the same, the tone and the notes couldn't be more disgusting.

I was a strong supporter of George W. Bush over Iraq (I had a son in that fight), but he has turned into a squish.
Probably trying to take revenge on Trump for ending Jeb’s presidential run and the Bush dynasty.

I would have more faith in a “Duck Dynasty” dynasty in the White House than Geo. W. today.

Romney. A totally self-absorbed POS who would sell out his mother for a vote.

McCain. Not a chip off the old block. I knew his father. He was a fighter, not a vengeful prick.

H.W. was the most evil President that we ever had. George W. is Satan’s spawn.

GWB ran and hid on 9-11. Then he padded into a Mosque and stammered “Islam means peace”. Then he covered up the role of his Saudi buddies in the attack, starting with hustling them out of the country while Americans were still grounded. Then he invaded Iraq for no real reason other than the Saudis wanted their rival thug gone and didn’t care how many American would die while their useless men hung out in shopping malls. Somewhere along the line he appointed a dud SCOTUS Chief while ruining brand GOP to the extent that Hussein Obama waltzed to an easy win.

And now the failed President is a failed ex-President - silent except to occasionally pop up to slander conservatives who don’t share his dream of open borders and an end to our homeland.

Sorry I ever voted for that sob.

If I could have done it over again, I would have voted for Ma Richards over this guy.

I used to respect him. Now, I, well, all I can say, is that I don’t have an ounce of respect for him anymore. I cannot, however, say what I really think about him, since this is a family forum. 😁
