January 1, Trump responds to Bush’s comments on domestic extremism: ‘he shouldn’t be lecturing anybody!’

Former President George W. Bush spoke on Sept. 11, seemingly comparing the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol to the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

“There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home,” Bush said. “But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit. And it is our continuing duty to confront them.”

Former President Trump responded in a statement distributed by the Save America PAC.

“So interesting to watch former President Bush, who is responsible for getting us into the quicksand of the Middle East (and then not winning!), as he lectures us that terrorists on the ‘right’ are a bigger problem than those from foreign countries that hate America, and that are pouring into our Country right now,” the statement read.

“If that is so, why was he willing to spend trillions of dollars and be responsible for the death of perhaps millions of people? He shouldn’t be lecturing us about anything,” Trump added. “He shouldn’t be lecturing anybody!”
