CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 5, 2020
FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH HAS CALLED ON AMERICANS TO ABANDON PARTISAN DIVIDES IN THE FACE OF WHAT HE CALLED THE “SHARED THREAT” OF THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC.
IN A THREE-MINUTE VIDEO BUSH SAID, “LET US REMEMBER HOW SMALL OUR DIFFERENCES ARE…IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS, WE ARE NOT PARTISAN COMBATANTS. WE ARE HUMAN BEINGS, EQUALLY VULNERABLE AND EQUALLY WONDERFUL IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. WE RISE OR FALL TOGETHER.”
NOBLE THOUGHTS FROM A DECENT MAN. PRESIDENT TRUMP RESPONDED, WONDERING WHERE MR. BUSH WAS DURING THE PARTISAN INVESTIGATIONS AND ATTACKS ON HIMSELF AND HIS PRESIDENCY. GOOD QUESTION.
THE LARGER ONE IS THIS: WHY ARE REPUBLICANS EXPECTED TO LIE DOWN AND BE RUN OVER BY THE LEFT, FOR WHOM EVERYTHING IS PARTISAN? WHAT ABOUT THE PARTISANSHIP OF THE MAJOR MEDIA WHICH HAS BEEN OUT TO DESTROY THE PRESIDENT SINCE BEFORE HIS ELECTION? LOOK AT THE NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST, CNN AND MSNBC. EVERY DAY IT IS ALL NEGATIVE PARTISANSHIP AGAINST THE PRESIDENT. PERHAPS MR. BUSH SHOULD ISSUE A STATEMENT ABOUT THAT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
