The two most recent presidents on Thursday blasted the state of US politics in events that were separated by less than 20 miles.
First, it was former President George W. Bush. The most recent former Republican president lambasted a political culture that caused "bigotry" to seem "emboldened." The public comments were Bush's most pointed since President Donald Trump took office in January.
"In recent decades, public confidence in our institutions has declined," the 43rd president said at an event in New York hosted by his namesake institute. "Our governing class has often been paralyzed in the face of obvious and pressing needs. The American dream of upward mobility seems out of reach for some who feel left behind in a changing economy. Discontent deepened and sharpened partisan conflicts. Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seems more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication."
The forum was branded as being "focused on freedom, free markets, and security." It featured speakers such as former first lady Laura Bush, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley. And Bush provided a substantial condemnation of the state of US politics.

We don’t have a white supremacy problem in this country, we have an elitist supremacy problem.
Considering the alternatives, Bush wasn’t so bad.
U almost threw up when he said “it is an honor to be the first president to say ‘Madam Speaker’”.
That's true. We'll probably have to shoot it away.
Bush does not realize that nobody ever really gives an Obama about him. His only claim to fame was that he was not Gore and he was not Kerry. His damn father was the beginning of the end of the Republican party.
“We must be getting dang near the Tribulation.”
LOL
What year?
The importation of so many third worlders is opportunity for slavery all over again.
It’s all about open borders/amnesty.
They have invested millions and 30 years importing “new” Americans, a more compliant and cheaper workforce.
All of the NeverTrump BS is really about keeping the citizens from restoring the rule of law and keeping their country.
That’s why in every election since the last amnesty, it has intentionally been amnesty vs amnesty.
They were purposely denying us any means to stop the illegal alien inundation.
They have been purposely changing the demographics of this country.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.
Stealing the country from US citizens is essential to the new world order they envision.
Couple of globalist mutts.

Yep, I always said the last REAL Republican President left office in 1989 and it’s been almost 30 years of Uniparty BS.
If W didn’t want Trump to be POTUS he can blame himself. He created Obama and Obama created the need for Trump.
Bush should drag his NWO a$$ back home and engage in dawn to dusk prayer begging forgiveness from the Lord for his part in 9/11, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Obama should go back to serving Satan as he has done in the past ... no chance he will change.
He did say “in recent decades,” which would include his, Clinton’s and Obama’s terms. He didn’t say ‘in recent months.”
Yup
If only Bush, Sr. had not been VP, for we did not need EITHER Bush in the Presidency!! Wish we had never heard of this useless RINO CINO family.
Yes, I’ve been saying the same thing. It’s true.
These guys are a major part of the problem, and are clueless.
Remember, it’s the District of Corruption political establishment who is attacking PRESIDENT Trump. It’s the politicians against We the People.
AS we say in Bahston... I am witchoo.
