Larry Wilmore destroys Jeb Bush: ‘Your brother took a big stinking dump’ in Iraq — and you’re blaming Hillary?

Larry Wilmore took aim at Jeb Bush’s “revisionist history” of the Iraq war that deflected blame from his brother — former President George W. Bush — to the Democratic frontrunner for president.

The Republican presidential candidate blamed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the failures in that led to the creation of the Islamic State because she withdrew her support for the military surge in favor of a troop withdrawal.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa — so George is gone and now it’s all Hillary’s fault?” Wilmore said. “What kind of distorted reality are you living in?”

Jeb Bush also suggested that “rushing away from danger can be every bit as dangerous as rushing into danger” — a claim the “Nightly Show” host dismissed as absurd.

“That’s not a thing,” Wilmore said. “You don’t run into a house fire and then just take your time getting out.”

Wilmore pointed out that Jeb Bush said in May that he would have invaded Iraq, just as his brother had, using the same faulty intelligence — but the candidate told Fox News that Hillary Clinton would have done the same thing.

“This is unbelievable to me that Jeb-exclamation-f*cking-point-Bush actually had the gall to make it seem like this clusterf*ck in the Middle East was not started by his brother,” Wilmore said.

1. Absolutely it was his brother's fault.

But I believe Hillary would have done the same thing. She had the same access to the "facts" as Bush had, and actually pushed for the war. Yeah, Bernie voted to supply the troops once they were sent overseas, I don't have a problem with that.

2. If HRC was president she would've followed Bill

and inherited Richard A. Clarke. 911 would not have happened and even if it did the blame would've pointed to Saudi Arabia and not Iraq. Besides that she would not have felt she need to avenge death threats against Daddy bUSH. It's just a whole different thing.

I''m not defending HRCs position and vote on the Iraq War Resolution. It's just that if she was president instead of bUSH it is not logical that events and actions would be the same. For sure we would be living in a different world if President Gore was sworn in.

3. Hell, 9/11 would not have happened if Gore were POTUS either.

6. Duh

And if it did they would've blamed him. But its our fault we are spineless and don't fight back. Especially the coincidence theorists afraid to call out the truth and look unpatriotic or not accepted by the consensus reality group. Think for yourself...the answers are simple and apparent.

9. I don't think Hillary would have STARTED Iraq.

She voted for it, because she raised an experienced moistened finger to the political winds, and felt she'd do better getting on the war wagon once Bush / Cheney / Rumsfeld got it rolling.

But that was after they'd spent months filling the media with bogus story like the "aluminum tubes of death" crap Cheney was feeding Judith Miller and others.

Hillary's vastly more hawkish than a lot of other Dems, but Iraq was a neocon con (neoconjob? ) from the beginning.

4. Jeb! is entirely wrong

And you don't need a fact checker to prove it
(hello msm journalists - practice your profession much??!!)

Jeb!'s simian brother Bush2 negotiated the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq
in 2008 and set the date for withdrawal to be June 30, 2009.
On this momentous deal, the chimp exclaimed
"The Security Agreement addresses our presence, activities, and withdrawal from Iraq"

On inheriting Bush2's mess, our fine President Obama had the good sense
to EXTEND the hasty withdrawal that Bush2 had negotiated - to ensure a
better transition (something Bush2 was not so good at).
On August 19, 2010, the last combat brigade left Iraq and
by October 21, 2011 all troops were withdrawn.

President Obama - "the American combat mission in Iraq has ended.
Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility
for the security of their country."

It's apparent that Jeb! is just a s lazy and dishonest as his brother.

5. Oh, of course, he is...

...just as lazy and dishonest. He is a Bush after all. I truly wish he would just go away.

7. Call Jeb Out For Death Squads And Cocaine Deals While Daddy's Liaison In Latin America

We Don't Forget

[navarth]

11. Correct again, Bill nt

[Cracklin Charlie]

8. I love Dimples Wilmore!

The Nightly Show doesn't pull their punches on the hypocrisy dealers.

[Chasstev365]

10. An Analogy

Jeb's assertion is as absurd as Hitler blaming WW II on the Weimer Republic. Give me a fucking break! I could not stomach another Bush as president!

[Gamecock Lefty]

12. The Real Reason for the War?

Remember that smirking bastard leaning against the podium and then saying the real reason for going to war – “these are the same people that tried to kill my Daddy.”

[Beowulf42]

13. Reality.

Reminds me of when Colin Powell stated, "If you break it, You own it." And there isn't anybody who broke it other that George W. "Your Brother" Bush. But this is indicative of what is seriously wrong with our country. We keep having to fight old wars. Everyone of you can make a list of causes whose time has seriously passed that only serve to distract us from the serious problems of our time. Let's move into the future, and stop circling our crap from the past.
