Former US president George W. Bush claimed that despite the jaw-dropping violence unleashed by his own policies in Afghanistan and Iraq, he was left “sick to my stomach” by the January 6 raid on the US Capitol.
Admitting he “can’t remember what [he] was doing” at the time he learned Trump supporters were swarming the Capitol building, Bush told the Texas Tribune he became physically ill “to see our nation’s Capitol being stormed by hostile forces” in an interview conducted last month and published on Thursday as part of the SXSW 2021 festival.
