Geee Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 The executive director of the George W. Bush Institute, who organized a letter from presidential libraries calling for national unity, previously leaked the now-debunked Steele dossier to reporters during height of the Trump-Russia collusion investigation. David Kramer, who worked in the State Department under President George W. Bush and was an associate of the late Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), pushed for the foundations and centers of former presidents to sign a letter about unifying the country. However, in 2016 Kramer provided the Steele dossier to BuzzFeed, which published it without corroborating its allegations that then-President-elect Donald Trump was a puppet of Russian President Vladimir Putin. On Thursday, a letter was released by the George W. Bush Institute about unifying around democracy, saying that: "Debate and disagreement are central features in a healthy democracy. Civility and respect in political discourse, whether in an election year or otherwise, are essential." The letter was co-signed by 13 presidential centers, reflecting a wide diversity of viewpoints and policies, ranging from the Obama Foundation and The Carter Center to the George & Barbara Bush Foundation and The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute. The Eisenhower Foundation explained that it had declined an invitation to sign the letter as there hadn't been a pre-publication discussion about the letter, which was the first joint statement issued by the foundations.

Bush Institute is 4 square in favor Good Things. How Bold. Any letter that Obama Foundation, George W. Bush Presidential Center, Clinton Foundation George & Barbara Bush Foundation, The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute, The Carter Center, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, Richard Nixon Foundation, LBJ Foundation, John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, Truman Library Institute, Roosevelt Institute Hoover Presidential Foundation, agree on is by definition Mush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
