Former White House adviser Steve Bannon on Friday depicted former President George W. Bush as bumbling and inept, faulting him for presiding over a “destructive” presidency during his time in the White House.
Bannon’s scathing remarks amounted to a retort to a Bush speech in New York earlier this week, in which the 43rd president denounced bigotry in Trump-era American politics and warned that the rise of “nativism,” isolationism and conspiracy theories have clouded the nation’s true identity.
But Bannon, speaking to a capacity crowd at a California Republican Party convention, said Bush had embarrassed himself and didn’t know what he was talking about.
Bannon said Bush has no idea whether “he is coming or going, just like it was when he was president.”
“There has not been a more destructive presidency than George Bush’s,” Bannon added, as boos could be heard in the crowd at the mention of Bush’s name.

Very disappointed with W these days . He needs to stick with painting and wounded warriors . Where was his voice during 8 long years of Barack Insane Obama ?.....
Bannon is right.
10 trillion wasted in the Middle Esat for absolutely nothing.
Got us stuck with 8 years of Obama as a result.
McCain/Obama/Bush gave essentially the same speech the same week. Their overlords think they can kill American nationalism? Nobody that would listen to the Uniparty pawns would have ever voted for Trump in the first place.
I wonder who told the Three Amigos to go give these speeches? Who gave them the talking points as well as they were coordinated?
Good for Bannon
So sick of losing to these progressives or whatever we’re calling them America haters I guess

Oh. Yeah. The pols work for someone. And it’s not We the People
“Where was his voice during 8 long years of Barack Insane Obama ?.....”
Absolutely true. Not once did he criticize Dumb’O while he was fundamentally transforming this country.
“Where was his voice during 8 long years of Barack Insane Obama ?.....”
And where was his voice during the 8 long years of his own administration? He was happy to be the pinata for the left every hour of every day, and never made a peep to defend himself or his constituents. He and Hillary must be on the same diet or something; neither one can STFU now.
Maybe some of the 18 large that George Soros just put into his "foundation" made it to the other end of the pipeline.

Well, he did give us TSA and the Patriot Act, so there is that...
Bush is what the Soviets call a “useful idiot” - a fellow traveler for the Dems who can be counted on to say something libelous against the President of his own party and the people who elected him and in return, he gets some small pat on the head, invitation to sit at the head table at the commemoration of the Clinton Library, and some passing good press about how the ineffectual Bushes were the type of Republican presidents the left can tolerate. The press might also downplay the ongoing disaster of the Iraq war - always found it amazing that some of the legitimate Iraqi exile groups met with him before he launched the disastrous invasion argue against it - they reported afterward that Bush didn’t seem to even know there are three major ethnic/religious groups in Iraq that hate each other. I caught onto this early with Bush, Senior - he got elected solely because of Reagan and Reagan voters and then proceeded to trash them in his inaugural speech; I refused to vote for him in 1992 and am quite pleased, in retrospect that I voted for Ross Perot who cost him the election.
It is abundantly clear that you can not fix Bush stupidity.
GWB could've gone in either direction after 911, either national self-sufficiency or trying to change the world. He made the wrong choice. What kind of fool would think they could change the world, but not protect national sovereignty and economic independence?
yep
43 turned his back and let friend Scooter Libby rot in a prison for a couple of years. This when the prosecutor knew who had outed Plame before he questioned Libby. I for one can never forget that act of disloyalty.
that speech revealed his underlying motives, and I do not sign on to his brand of patriotism
And the Swamp, largely staffed by Clintonoids who should have been removed Day 1 of the W administration, but allowed to stay as sleepers until we got Comey, Mueller, Rosenstein, ...
“See ya at the bill signing!” - W
Considering Trump has put a stake into the heart of the Clinton Global Initiative, in which the Bushes are a partner, I do not see it as surprising at all. The whole point of the goofball Jeb! run was to enable the continuation of that fleecing by making sure Her was elected to keep it covered up.
I would also contend that this tone of GW’s speech is a direct result of the Uranium 1 coverup falling apart. Where was GW when that was made public years and years ago?
I began listening to GW’s speech at the “The Spirit of Liberty: At Home, in the World,” Forum. The words came out superficial, tired and clichéd. His connection with the conservative cause was paper thin or nonexistent. I could not stand to listen to it and flipped it off.
