*In stunning attack, George W. Bush accuses President Trump of promoting falsehoods and prejudice* apparently George Bush is un-American in the eyes of the Trumpanzees. Speaking at a policy seminar in New York, the nation’s 43rd president never mentioned Trump by name. But his target was unmistakable.
*“We have seen our discourse degraded by casual cruelty,” Bush said. “We’ve seen nationalism distorted into nativism.”*
*“Bullying and prejudice in our public life sets a national tone, provides permission for cruelty and bigotry, and compromises the moral education of children,” he said at another point. “The only way to pass along civic values is to first live up to them.”*
*"I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy,"* Bush told Matt Lauer on the TODAY show. "That we need the media to hold people like me to account. I mean, power can be very addictive and it can be corrosive and it's important for the media to call to account people who abuse their power, whether it be here or elsewhere.”
*"It's kind of hard to, you know, tell others to have an independent free press when we're not willing to have one ourselves," he said* Bush's defense of the media came just days after White House spokesman Sean Spicer caused an uproar by barring several news organizations, including CNN, The New York Daily News, Politico and The New York Times, from a briefing. *TRumpanzees are un-American and should be ashamed of themselves*
