George W. Bush 'still disturbed' by Capitol riot: 'I was sick to my stomach' (Partial barf alert)
Washington Times ^ | Mar, 19 2021 | Jessica Chasmar

Former President George W. Bush said in a new interview he’s “still disturbed” by the U.S. Capitol riot.

“I can’t remember what I was doing, but … I was sick to my stomach … to see our nation’s Capitol being stormed by hostile forces,” Mr. Bush told Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith. “And it really disturbed me to the point where I did put out a statement, and I’m still disturbed when I think about it.

“It undermines rule of law and the ability to express yourself in peaceful ways in the public square,” he said. “This was an expression that was not peaceful.”

Mr. Bush said he recently had a “good conversation” with Mr. Biden and is confident about the country’s future.

“He’s an experienced guy, and you know, I had a good conversation with him,” he said. “I said, ‘Anything I can do to help, if I feel comfortable with it, let me know.’

“He’s off to a good start, it looks like,” he said. “Hopefully, this anger will work its way out of the system.” (my emphasis.)

Some of us warned about Bush before he ever ran for President. He was a disaster as TX Governor.

The fact that Bush would endorse a pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQ President over a pro-life one is revealing.

A few hundred Duck Dynasty looking idiots run through the Capitol and George W. Bush is sickened. The country suddenly has no border with Joe Biden and millions pour in illegally and Bush thinks it’s no big deal, Joe is off to a great start. #border #MAGA— MARK SIMONE (@MarkSimoneNY) March 19, 2021

George W. Bush also cheered BLM when they were rioting and said he didn’t understand the race issues when he ran for President. He should never have been President.

Maybe, but I’m not sure the Bushes were ever what the American People thought they were, and I think the Leftists were right (for once, and maybe the only time): He’s not very smart.

Did W miss the thousands of people that PEACEFULLY and LEGALLY stood in front of the Capitol to express their right of freedom of speech??

Was......IS......W sick to his stomach at the violence that has and continues to go on in Portland? Did I miss his statement on those acts of violence against Police and our country?? But, sadly, as often happens, choice of candidates is the problem. GOP NEEDS to find true, patriotic, America first candidates at the LOCAL & national level.

I so REGRET donating financially and spending enormous time in campaign offices and rallies to help elect W.

I guess the Iraq meat grinder he sent our kids to didn’t make him sick to his stomach.

Bush is a flawed man. He had some fine moments when he was POTUS. After his 8 years were up, he did a good job shutting up. He needs to continue that. And stop trying to get Liberals to like him. They’re just using him.

What a weak character, George W. Bush, if this still disturbs him. Yet he has no over the huge number of civilians his policies killed, or of the many horrors that have occurred, or having a POTUS who doesn’t realize he is the president and refers to the VP as “President.”

Brings back memories of the only time I agreed with Jesse Jackson, and that was when he said, “Keep out the Bushes.” Thank God the Bush family is politically washed up. We owe Jeb a debt of gratitude.
