The liberal media appears to be willing to cozy up to just about anyone who shares their disdain for US President Donald Trump, even including their previous favorite nemesis, former President George W. Bush.
Appearing on the Today Show on Monday, Bush offered criticism of the current President, despite Trump’s soaring approval rate within his own party.
When asked about Trump’s war with what the administration deems “fake news,” or “opposition party,” Bush defended the media.
“I consider the media to be indispensable to democracy … We need an independent media to hold people like me to account,” Bush remarked. “Power can be very addictive, and it can be corrosive.”
Bush suggested that Trump’s battle with the media could undermine work to censure regimes that do not support press freedom.
“It’s kind of hard to tell others to have an independent free press if we’re not willing to have one ourselves,” Bush added.
The last Republican to occupy the White House prior to the current administration expressed his disapproval with Trump’s executive order on immigration, claiming that it is based on religion.
“I am for an immigration policy that is welcoming and upholds the law,” Bush said, adding that focusing on Muslim-majority nations undermines “the bedrock of our freedom — a bedrock of our freedom is the right to worship freely.”
