Juan Williams on Bush: It Was a ‘Kinder, Gentler America, Versus American Carnage’

‘The way I think about it is sort of optimism versus pessimism’

RUSH EXCERPT:

WILLIAMS: “No question, we live in a polarized political age, so divided. The way I think about it is sort of optimism versus pessimism. A kind Kinder, gentler America. When I think of President Bush, I think of somebody who crossed the aisle. I was really taken by what Karl just said about his best friend being a Democrat while he served those two terms in Congress, and of course he followed Reagan 11 commitments, speak no evil. Versus Donald Trump, who has a polarizing relationship with Democrats, clearly fractured, but also attacks other Republicans who don’t agree or embrace him. And again, I think on policy issues like guns, after Oklahoma City in ‘95, president President Bush quit the NRA, quit his lifetime membership after what happened in parkland, Florida, you see President Trump not only saying that we should arm teachers, but continue to do business with the NRA.“
