CNN Opinion Article Claims George W. Bush ‘Finally Steps Onto the Right Side of History’

We wrote on Monday about how Juan Williams wrote an opinion article on whether or not George W. Bush would endorse Joe Biden and the next day, Bush released a statement about the death of George Floyd and the subsequent riots and protest.

In the statement, the former president claimed that “it is the time for America to examine our tragic failures.” Why he was unable to do that when he was the president or how Obama was unable to do so remains a mystery.

Emory University Professor Dorothy A Brown wrote an opinion article for CNN where she declared that “George W. Bush finally steps onto the right side of history.”

First, she had to set the record straight by calling Bush “the man famous for countless black deaths that occurred on his watch almost 15 years ago, due to Hurricane Katrina, because his administration could not handle a natural disaster in a single state.”

From CNN:

And this is quite telling of the moment that we are in. George W. Bush is asking “How do we end systemic racism in our society?” He says we need to listen to those on the ground dealing with this. And he’s right.

2020 means all Americans are deciding whether to be on the side of the race-baiting President, or the American people who are protesting to make our democracy inclusive for black Americans.

George W. Bush made the right choice. As he told us Tuesday: “Achieving justice for all is the duty of all.”

Which side will you be on?

She makes it clear her opinion is that if you support President Trump, you are not making democracy inclusive for black Americans. The only way to do that is to elect Joe Biden, who she claimed looks like a leader and oozes empathy.
