Fox News’ Dana Perino, who served as one of George W. Bush‘s press secretaries, had some pretty harsh words for Donald Trump today over his attacks on the former president over 9/11.


She said it’s clearly a “dismal weekend when you have liberal conspiracy theories being introduced by the Republican frontrunner,” even going so far as to deem it “soft trutherism.”


Perino suggested maybe Trump should stop trying to attack people who Republicans actually like and maybe focus on broadening his appeal.


Even the left,” she claimed, “doesn’t do what Donald Trump does. Only the farthest right lunatics were truther. And this is now the Republican party?”

Trump is jabbing at Bush, which means he's still worried about him.

For a guy who's led in the polls for four months, Trump is spooked by his opposition. He trashes Bush, Rubio, Fiorina and anybody else who sticks their heads up.

What a petty, vindictive little cretin.  Blaming GW Bush for 9/11.  Trump would have soiled his BVDs had this happened on his watch.

I agree. Also notice Trump has yet to go after Ted Cruz..

I heard her on The Five and loved her use of the words 'soft trutherism.'  That's exactly what Trump is exhibiting.

You should learn to listen. Trump DID NOT blame W for 9/11. He said so over and over. What Trump did say, is true. It was on W's watch. I voted for W TWICE. In hindsight, it was a mistake.

His first and likely biggest mistake was to promote Islam as "the religion of peace". It was just a few radical Muslims who attacked us and the rest of Muslims are pious, devout, religious, followers of god, that they call by a different name.(Allah). They chant  "Allahu Akbar" (Allah, (the name of god), is greater) as they chop peoples heads off. Bush said one profound thing, "You're either with us or with the terrorists", but then persuaded (I think) to be politically correct and praise most Muslims. Most, if not all, Muslims are with the terrorists since they acquiesce to the actions of the "so called" radicals. The "good" Muslims claim the "holy" Qur'an they worship is being misinterpreted and bastardized by the Jihadists. NONSENSE. The Qur'an and the other Islamic scriptures, say what they say. http://www.prophetofdoom.net/ is a website by an expert on Islam, Craig Winn. His entire extensive book is free for download or reading. If you want to know the truth about Islam, there you go.

The war in Iraq was a HUGE mistake. I was originally a supporter of the war, but again hindsight says it was a cluster blank. Our heroes were sacrificed for what? Humvees with canvas doors? The problem of dealing with IEDs was never solved. How many arms and legs were left in Iraq? How many bodies came home in a coffins? How many family members were and are still devastated by their losses? FOR WHAT? W just the left's Piñata, punching bag for FOURTEEN years. W let US down by not fighting back. Trump will be having none of that! He will fight back for himself and us, immediately without exception. Political correctness is dead to him. YES!

NO MORE BUSHES.

Exactly. Trump was basically saying, "the buck stops there, at the president's desk."  Nothing more than that. The rest was his normal campaign rhetoric promoting how he would have been a better CiC, done a better job, yada yada. Self promotion, regular candidate spiel.

Trump is most certainly NOT a 'regular' candidate, and contrary to those here who claim otherwise, he did blame Bush for 9/11, claiming that if he had been president, it wouldn't have happened.

More Trump arrogant poppycock.

(btw, pretty much the only thing I agree on here is that Jeb Bush should not be President.  LOTS of good choices other than Trump or Bush).

Maybe off topic, but I don't think so.

How Dana Perino has gainful employment in or out of government is beyond comprehension.  As an exercise, it is useful to compare her to Jean Kirkpatrick.

Perino was very good as a Bush spokesperson, and is a valuable contributor on FOXNEWS.  Comparing her to Jean Kirkpatrick is akin to comparing Brett Baier to Ronald Reagan.

There is no basis for comparison.

Shall we have a very politically correct 'agree to disagree'? 
Something tells me Ms. Perino has trouble generating an original thought.
But, hey, let's be friends, OK?

I don't know, famous.

I remember her a bit from the Bush days, but now she's on Fox she's pretty much just another blond talking to the camera, far as I'm concerned. Couldn't tell her from a score of others without a caption showing her name. 

May I ask which "liberal conspiracies" Trump is advancing?

Jeb said his brother kept America safe.  Trump responded that 9/11 happened under GWB.  That is a statement of fact.

Trump also has said that lax immigration laws helped lead to 9/11.  Jeb agrees with this opinion in his own book published in 2013.  That is a statement of fact.

Do facts even matter anymore, or is all politics emotional and personal at this time in history?

Oh, come on!  You know very well that Trump wanted to associate GW Bush with allowing 9/11 to happen, no matter how much he qualifies what he said.  Most people jumped to that conclusion, which is what orangutan-hair wanted to happen. His Bart Simpson act is phony.

And he also wants voters to jump to the conclusion that GW Bush could have changed immigration laws in a major way in eight months, but just didn't want to.

We're not as stupid as you think we are, Carling.

Do facts even matter anymore, or is all politics emotional and personal at this time in history?

The latter. You know about politics and religion. Very personal stuff. May be wedged somewhere in there between ego and superego.
