Jenna Bush Hager Says Her Grandpa Was ‘Crushed’ to Leave Office After One Term as She Commends Biden’s ‘Hard’ Choice

Jenna Bush Hager is recounting the toll that a 1992 election loss had on her late grandfather, President George H.W. Bush.

On the Monday, July 22, episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna, Bush Hager was speaking about President Joe Biden's announcement that he will no longer run for reelection. "You know, I think, it’s so interesting because we’ve become a country that is so divided about politics that sometimes It’s hard to think, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s a human,' " Bush Hager, 42, said, adding: "I think even in the depths of us having these political opinions, and obviously it has come to a fever, we gotta remember that people are human."

Bush Hager added that Biden's announcement — and his family's response — echoed a situation in her own family, when her late grandfather lost his 1992 reelection bid to Democrat Bill Clinton.

I believe he was “crushed” by Ross Perot’s third party candidacy which though not directly getting any electoral votes, got almost 19% of the popular vote, which left BJ Clinton with a plurality and may have cost GHWBush enough votes in enough states to give Clinton the electoral votes to win.

Did Jenna have any kind words to say when Donald Trump was nearly assassinated?

It’s always weird when Republican ‘elites’ have empathy for demcorat ‘elties’ but never for common everyday Americans. What’s even weirder is their total lack of insight into what they look like to the rest of us.

I’m waiting for the ‘empathy’ from McCain’s daughter and Dick Cheney’s brat.

Don’t forget the lack of empathy for all the Christians driven out of Iraq after her daddy’s war.

The father of selling out the country founded on liberty to the proponents of the new global order should have gotten a second term.

Bush 41 made a deal with the Gov of AR Bill Klinton that if he would let them run Narcotics through Mena, AR to cover money for the Contras then 41 would make him POTUS.

She is lying. GHW Bush was NOT crushed at all after losing the 1992 election. He was perfectly fine losing, and said so afterwards.

Bush Sr was president and actually governed or led and was voted out.

Biden was never ‘president’ and was forced out of a position which he never should’ve been in.

IOW, not the same thing.

This family is *NOT* our friend. They have backstabbed us every chance they got, up to and including HW Bush who broke his "read my lips" promise.

*THAT* is what made him a one termer, and anyone with any sense would have realized that the Democrats were trying to trap him by getting him to break that pledge.

He was defeated in no thanks to Perot.

Perot was right. Bush was defeated thanks to Bush because he was an out of touch deep state RINO who sold out Reagan, and by extension, America.

Let us not forget NAFTA, “points of light” and a “new world order”. Many of us were clued in on the goal of a global government even in the 90’s.

In fact, GHW Bush openly introduced the NWO to the masses first.

He pushed China and exporting American jobs overseas at an accelerated pace which was a stage of getting the NWO by weakening American independence.

There's also the factor of the Republicans having already won the WH three terms in a row (2 with Reagan plus 1 with Bush Sr). The idea of the same party winning the 4th in a row in 1992 was a bit of a longshot. That hadn't happened since the 5 in a row by the Dims during the Great Depression and WW2 era.

Since Truman to today, the only time a party won more than 2 WH terms in a row was with the immense popularity of Reagan (helping his successor Bush Sr to win).

You’re right. Democrats feel “the good will of people on our side” deserves a back stabbing. Bush fell for it - thinking democrats had a sense of honor - they don’t and never will.
