Steve Bannon: George H.W. Bush is a 'pervert'
Washington Examiner ^ | 12/21/2017 | katie leach

Posted on 12/22/2017 11:26:03 AM PST by bkopto

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said he believes former President George H.W. Bush is a “pervert” while condemning the Bush family for speaking out against President Trump.

“I really detest them,” Bannon said in an interview with Vanity Fair. “I mean, the old man is a pervert. He’s a pervert. Grabbing these girls and grabbing their asses?”

The former White House official was alluding to recent reports of several women accusing the former president of sexual assault, to which he has publicly apologized.

“To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke, and on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner,” a spokesperson for Bush explained.

As for George W. Bush, Bannon said: “The Bush presidency is the most destructive presidency in history. James Buchanan included. It’s not even close.”

“I haven’t even gotten to 9/11. I mean, 9/11! Think about if 9/11 had happened on Trump’s watch,” he continued, referring to the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. “We would have gotten 100 percent of the blame by the Bush guys. And they said, well, we just got here. What do you mean you just got here?”

Both former presidents have been openly critical of Trump’s administration, and the elder Bush admitted to voting for Clinton in the 2016 election.

Yes, I see the excuse makers for the Bushes are still here; they left for awhile after the true colors of the Bushes came to the surface, once more, before the election. Don’t buy the bit that GW is in a wheelchair so he can do what he wants; he is accused of groping a 16 year old in 1988 when he was in his early 60s, quite mobile and very sentient. As far as the destructiveness of GW goes, just look at the lies involved in the Iraq War, the tremendous cost in lives, the amazing cost overruns for something that was lied about that would cost a pittance. No, I have NO use for the Bushes.

They have nearly destroyed this country; in multiple ways.

I won’t miss the lot of them. The Booshes thought we were stupid enough to accept them sucking up to Bill and Barky.

All they did was prove where their loyalties lie.

I don’t care for the Bush family but it’s not fair to call the old man a pervert for doing things that were perfectly normal for men to do in his time.

It was a different time is all and it’s not fair to judge the people of the past by the standards of today.

When was it “perfectly normal” for men to grab girls’ asses?

former President George H.W. Bush is a “pervert” . . . “I really detest them,” Bannon said in an interview with Vanity Fair. “I mean, the old man is a pervert . . . The Bush presidency is the most destructive presidency in history. James Buchanan included. It’s not even close.”

I usually agree with Steve Bannon, but not this time. Old Bush's mind is going, and it's not fair to judge the man in his declining years.

As for the most destructive in history, Presidents Carter and Buchanan were both far worse than either of the Bush presidents. In terms of economic destruction, wiping out the integrity and credibility of once great institutions, and flooding the country with anti-American illegals, none of the first 43 presidents came anywhere close in malice, evil, or damage to the usurper who occupied our White House until President Trump restored the rule of law.

What a disgusting collection of criminals. To think that any of them is held in any regard whatsoever, by any right thinking person, would be unbelievable.

The other problem is GHWB is 93 or 94 years old and obviously seriously into his dotage. If Steve lives to 94 it will be interesting to see of he has all of his marbles. It just doesn’t show much class to attack a very old, sick man that way.

Yes, they bet wrong. When it didn’t turn out their NWO way, they all started crying. Jeb! was the worst joke of a candidate; ever. He knew he had no chance. His job, from Mommy and Daddy was to try to trash candidate Trump so Hillary could get in.

I don’t trust the lot of them. They can enjoy their NWO when the Antichrist comes. They’ll probably suck up to him, too. After all, Barack Hussein Obama does one amazing impression of the coming Antichrist. We see where the Boosh and Clinton whores threw their loyalty - immediately and they stayed with that decision.

Wow, nice of you to stomp your foot and make baseless insults. “Pussy”?

And speaking of your mother, isn’t it time she brought some pizza roles down to you in the basement?

Go away troll-boy. Grown-ups are talking here.

“When was it “perfectly normal” for men to grab girls’ asses?”

Up until the late 1960’s and early 1970’s it was socially acceptable even if women didn’t necessarily care for it.

People also used to smoke in the workplace, it was socially acceptable for office workers to have a few drinks at lunch time, it was socially acceptable to drink and drive, and it was socially acceptable to make racist jokes.

As crazy as it may seem it was also socially acceptable to be a Christian, a Caucasian, a conservative, and a Republican.

Shocking, I know.

The Bushes are dead politicians walking, they just haven’t figured it out yet.

“No big fan nor defender of Poppy Bush, but Bannon might do well to take into consideration that he could someday soon be the same.
That is to say, well past 90, confined to a wheelchair, possibly having had a stroke or two, with the onset of dementia, and the loss of inhibition that comes with it.”

To be fair, Bannon already looks 90, but he might be onto something here. I believe this GHWB jab is meant to create confusion among liberal media. Do they trust Bannon now ? Or will they defend the evil Booshies? This might be a genius political move.

Oh, BS! Thats just an excuse. It’s not okay to just reach out and grab someones body parts. I do not believe it was ever ok. Tolerated, yes. But not ok.
