Former president George W. Bush addressed the nationwide protests in a solemn yet hopeful statement Tuesday, commending the Americans demonstrating against racial injustice and criticizing those who try to silence them.
Bush closed his statement, which came a day after peaceful protesters were cleared by force to make way for President Trump to come outside, by pointing to a “better way.”
“There is a better way — the way of empathy, and shared commitment, and bold action, and a peace rooted in justice,” Bush said in the statement. “I am confident that together, Americans will choose the better way.”
Describing himself as “anguished” by the death of George Floyd, who died more than a week ago after his held was held under the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer, Bush urged white Americans to seek ways to support, listen and understand black Americans who still face “disturbing bigotry and exploitation.”

So he was attacking all these black democrat mayors, governors and police chiefs?
Because one cop in Minneapolis killed someone. Ok.
This coming from a president who spent trillions of dollars bombing dark skinned people.
Strateegery, George, strateegery
Islam and Antifa, don't forget Romney's comments supporting antifa,
Justice = shooting looters
I see he’s panicking.
This idiot obviously gets his news from CNN. They security force there has already said that is not what happened.
How can the future not be better? They have new, free TVs, Gucci bags, computers, clothes... America, the land that just keeps on giving.
Comments to the dems and the rest from whom they called a “Chimp”.... and he’s proving it with the idiotic commentary, starting with “silencing protestors”. What an octomaroon— they aren’t protestors burning buildings. We will take them out.
The wimp would have rolled over if this was happening during his presidency.
He’s an Obama - Clinton supporter
“You have nothing to fear from Islam..Islam is not our enemy” right after Jihadist scum brought down our towers and almost destroyed our Pentagon.
RINO George should just enjoy his retirement in peace and quiet. We don’t need any “advice” from him.
Was he talking to a live audience?
Probably not. It’s safer to just submit a tape made in his home office. Otherwise, he might get BOOED, and from both parties.
I still recall the day GWB dodged that shoe a Middle-Eastern idiot threw at him. It was like Wack-A-Mole.
Oh yes are not the Illuminati just wonderful people?
The replies prove that hell hath no fury like a Freeper scorned.
The late great Lee Rodgers, a legendary conservative talk show host, put it best:
“There’s only one way to look at a politician. And that’s down.”

DEMOCRATS’ BAG OF TRICKS TOWARD BLACK VOTERS
Linda Chavez, Creators Syndicate
CHICAGO TRIBUNE
At some point, black voters are going to rebel against racist ploys to keep them in their place—safe in the clutches of the Democratic Party. But Al Gore and Joe Lieberman are hoping that it won’t be this year—which is why they aren’t saying much about the despicable NAACP ads running against George W. Bush. The ads, in grainy black and white, show a pickup truck with a chain dragging across a dirt road. The voice-over is by Renee Mullins, the daughter of James Byrd, a black man dragged to his death two years ago chained to a pickup in Jasper, Texas.
Mullins accuses Gov. Bush of refusing to support a new hate-crimes bill, saying “It was like my father was killed all over again.” The unmistakable message: Bush condones lynching. What the ad doesn’t say is that two of the men who killed her father have been sentenced to death by a Texas court for the murder, while the third serves a life sentence. What’s more, the hate-crimes bill she supports would not have added one whit to their punishment. Nor does the ad mention the presidential election. It doesn’t have to; it’s airing in battleground states with large black populations, exactly the places where a large black turnout might tip the election to Gore.
Although the NAACP National Voter Fund is ostensibly both non-partisan and independent, its ad campaign comes just weeks after Democratic National Committee chairman Joe Andrews told reporters Oct. 9, “We’re going back to Jasper, Texas, and talk about hate crimes.” Does anyone seriously believe the NAACP and DNC efforts were not coordinated? The NAACP is able to air its ads thanks to an anonymous gift of some $10 million by a single individual. Considering all the fuss generated last week when a group of Republican businessmen spent a few thousand dollars to air an anti-Gore spot reminiscent of a famous 1964 campaign commercial predicting nuclear war, you’d think some enterprising journalist would try to discover the identity of the NAACP donor. Alas, no one in the media seems curious about who the NAACP benefactor might be or what his motives are....
