It’s so interesting to see former President Bush, who is responsible for getting us into the living sands of the Middle East (and then not winning!), As he tells us that right-wing terrorists are a bigger problem than those from foreign countries who hate America and are pouring into our country right now, ”Trump said in an emailed statement.
“If so, why was he willing to spend billions of dollars and be responsible for the deaths of perhaps millions of people? He shouldn’t give us lectures on anything.

Bush, speaking at Saturday’s commemoration in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, where Flight 93 crashed, lamented the lack of unity in the United States and made the comparison between Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6. and terrorists abroad. seeking to attack America.
“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country may come not only from the borders, but also from the violence that occurs,” Bush said.
“There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their contempt for pluralism, in their contempt for human life, in their determination to contaminate national symbols: they are children of the same evil spirit, and it is our duty to continue to confront them ”.
