I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election and by the lack of respect shown today for our institutions, our traditions, and our law enforcement. The violent assault on the Capitol -- and disruption of a Constitutionally-mandated meeting of Congress -- was undertaken by people whose passions have been inflamed by falsehoods and false hopes," Bush said.

In the US, he maintained, "it is the fundamental responsibility of every patriotic citizen to support the rule of law. To those who are disappointed in the results of the election: Our country is more important than the politics of the moment."

Go kiss your brother Bill Clinton.

This didn’t look much different than the tour my Son and I took.

Except for the murder of that woman.

They tried to dispute it the right way but the courts wouldn’t let them. The banana republic started with coordinated multi state theft.

George means well but it’s obvious that all he is watching in his living room is CNN.

Did CNN report what George Bush thought about all the Left-wing rioting that occurred this past year?

Inquiring minds want to know.
