The Bushes must denounce Trumpy by name. It's Trumpy who's president, and it's Trumpy who is defending Nazis and white supremacists. Anything short of that is just another dog whistle.

The statement didn't call him out, and it should have. As it is, it's more of the same mealy-mouthed racism-is-bad pronouncements we've been hearing from other GOPers. Meh. I'm waiting for some Republican to come out and slam Trump himself for refusing to reject Nazis (Nazis, FFS!) but I'm not holding my breath.

Not going to detail the whole conversation but want to highlight what they said about Bush.

Paraphrasing but very very close.

W's ideology disproportionately hurt people of color. All conservative ideology does. Never for one second did I think W personally hated me as Trump clearly does. W was just a stupid drunk.
