Former President George W. Bush said Thursday that “bigotry seems emboldened” in the United States, warning that Americans need to reject “white supremacy.” ... “Bigotry seems emboldened. Our politics seem more vulnerable to conspiracy theories and outright fabrication,” said Bush, who has generally stayed out of the public spotlight since leaving the White House in 2009. Bush also said that public confidence in the country's institutions has declined in recent decades, and warned against “a new era of cyber threats” including Russia's attempt to influence the 2016 presidential election. “Ultimately this assault won’t succeed, but foreign aggressions including cyber attacks, disinformation, and financial influence should never be downplayed or tolerated,” he said. http://thehill.com/homenews/news/356212-george-w-bush-bigotry-seems-emboldened-in-us
