(CNN)George W. Bush doesn't talk much about politics in public. Which makes the speech he gave Thursday in New York City -- a point-by-point rejection of Trumpism -- all the more important and noteworthy. The 43rd president of the United States -- and the last Republican to hold the office before Donald Trump -- didn't mention the 45th president by name in his speech at the George W. Bush Institute. But Trump -- and his views -- were ever-present in the former President's address.
Bush condemned "nationalism distorted into nativism." He derided "discourse degraded by casual cruelty." He acknowledged that "our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication." And, most importantly, Bush said that "bigotry seems emboldened."

It’s not really love. Never was.
My crystal ball has images of Jeb Bush limping for President in late 2019.
There seems to be an old hag being helped to walk by two men too.
You outlined why I left the R party during his term.
No ... he laid a big, and telling, egg.
Where are th bushbots now?
I am glad somebody gets just what a scum bag GW Bush is. The USA has Sudam in a box, he was not a threat. But W wanted back pay for Sudams' attempted assassination of HW. So W put family business ahead of the countrys' interest and went to war with Iraq. W is the traitor to the USA and a scum bag of the first order. Now because of W the Middle East is in ruins. FUGWB. W worst republican president ever. Gore couldn't have been worse than W.
GW is angry that Republican primary voters said good-bye to Lil Jeb who would have carried on the worst of his legacy.
His attack on Trump says a lot more about him and the Bush family than it does about Trump.
Good riddance.
Dateline 2032: Hillary Clinton is barely defeated for the Democratic Party presidential nomination by Rep. Kylie Jenner (D-CA).
House of Bush strikes again.
NOT true.
The MSM is trying to portray it as such to create animosity among Republicans.
The WP has the actual text of Bush’ speech. The also “annotated” it, try to twist it to make it sound anti-Trump, but it is not.
More MSM lies and fake news.
Draft dodger Bush should spend the rest of his life cleaning bedpans for the wounded and disabled veterans his idiotic war put in the VA hospitals.
Yes, instead of frigging around with the UN, and spiriting the Bin Laden family out of the US, he should have immediately blown the Sowdies off the map.
Well looky here. Even the guy who can’t think said something.
Here he is -
The millenial and younger kids in the shrub clan are tilting to the far left.
To GWB: Shut up, Stupid.
Nationalism. Nativism. Fiddle. Patriotism.
He was truly stupid. Nice, but stupid.
