Former presidents Bush condemn bigotry, anti-Semitism
George W. Bush
Washington - Egypt Today
Former US presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush on Wednesday issued a tough joint statement condemning racial bigotry and anti-Semitism, in a veiled rebuke of Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, Trump sparked a political firestorm when he said that counter-protesters appeared to be equally to blame for violence over the weekend at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in all forms," the father-son former presidents said in a statement issued from Kennebunkport, Maine, where they have a family home.
The statement did not mention Trump by name.
