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.)
