Former Republican President George W. Bush says that immigration is an easy issue to scare voters about and describes the current GOP as isolationist and “to a certain point, nativist” in an interview with NBC’s “Today” show.
Former President George W. Bush said on Tuesday that today’s Republican Party is far from what it used to be. “I would describe it as isolationist, protectionist, and to a certain extent, nativist,” Bush said to host Hoda Kotb during an appearance on NBC’s “Today” show.
“Well that’s not exactly my vision, but you know what I’m just an old guy they put out pasture,” he added. “So just a simple painter.”
Bush is promoting his new book “Out of Many, One: Portraits of American Immigrants,” which is based on oil paintings by the former president on national figures and migrants.
He is making these comments as hundreds of thousands of unvetted people pour in. Some are criminals, terrorists, and with them comes drugs.
Oh, if only he would go out to pasture. We are still fighting that 19-year war he started.
How would you describe the Republican Party today? –@hodakotb

My wife was watching that BS when I walked into the house and only watched 30 seconds before I blew up. This lying reporter wannabe compared Bush’s immigration policies, you know, the one where he was on board with signing amnesty for illegals, compared Bush’s policies with President Trump’s “anti immigrant policies” (her words). President Trump was never against immigration, legal immigration that is. He was always against criminal trespassing in the United States which is what those who enter the US without a visa or enter legally then overstay their visa do. They are not immigrants in any way, shape or form because that would assume they have gone through the legal process of immigration which they haven’t.
I always know that George W. Bush was a Dangerous Globalist moron.
Free taco bowls (lovey) and Picasso, Bosch, Monet, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, level paintings by W Shrub for all future lifetime democrat voters, yes we can!
