If George W. Bush Were a Leader

He isn’t and wasn’t much of one. He took is into battle on lies, and squandered our resources while unduly rewarding the wealthy. Now, the preposterous illegitimate President Trump’s behavior accompanied by many of his fellow Republicans has gotten so bad that Bush felt compelled to say something.

Interesting is how “white supremacy” got top-billing in his remarks. It wasn’t misogyny and inequality.

He referred to the “governing class” and that is an insult because he should have aimed specifically at Donald Trump and members of Congress who are going along with the despot.

“Former President George W. Bush said Thursday that “bigotry seems emboldened” in the United States, warning that Americans need to reject “white supremacy.” 

 The former president also criticized the “governing class,” but did not specifically mention President Trump, Congress or any other politicians in office. 

 “Discontent deepened and sharpened partisan conflicts” in recent years, Bush said in remarks from New York City at a forum focused on security and sponsored by the George W. Bush Institute. 

 “Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seem more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication,” said Bush, who has generally stayed out of the public spotlight since leaving the White House in 2009.”
