George W. Bush Smacks Down Claims the Election Was Stolen

Former President George W. Bush (R) is weighing in on the 🗳️2020 Presidential Election and the riot that occurred at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

“I think the election, all elections have some kind of improprieties,” Bush said during a Texas Tribune interview. “I think … the results of this election, though, were confirmed when 👤Joe Biden got inaugurated as president.”

When asked straightforward whether he believes the election was stolen, Bush bluntly responded, “No.”

Former President Donald Trump has pushed without evidence that the election was stolen.

Bush was also asked by the Texas Tribune if “the Trump-led federal government put democracy at risk in the aftermath of the 2020 election.” He responded, “No.”

The former president said, “What’s putting democracy at risk is the capacity to get on the internet to spread … all kinds of stuff. But checks and balances work. It’s a, you know, a balanced system. The courts work. The legislative process needs a little work, particularly on immigration reform … No, I thought the system worked fine.”
