Bivša prva dama Barbara Pierce Bush preminula je utorak u dobi od 92 godine. Poznata po svom oštrom intelektu i strasti za pismenosti, mnogi su na društvenim medijima izrazili poštovanje prema voljenoj američkoj ikoni, kao i suosjećanje obitelji Bush.
Twitter je bio prepun dobrih želja i iskrenog odavanja počasti s obje strane političkog spektra:
One of the first books I ever read as a kid was “Millie’s Book” by Barbara Bush… she was a gem of a human according to all who met or knew her. Her kindness to my cousins and @JaneMHorton earned my gratefulness forever. RIP Mrs. Bush.

I literally can't stop crying about Barbara Bush. I do the same thing when I read anything about the Reagans. It's not just their deaths that make me sad, it's that they represent an age of noble American patriotism that I think is largely—if not completely—gone.

And at the end of her life, Barbara Bush had no cause for regret.
Indeed, she gave her family, the people of Texas, and all Americans a lifetime worth celebrating.

Predvidljivo, bilo je i onih na ljevici koji nisu gubili vrijeme kako bi pokrenuli zajedljive napade prema bivšoj prvoj dami:
This is so so disappointing. The things she and her family have down to global Black people is criminal, to say the least. She is part of the system of white supremacy, anti Black, anti feminist, as Malcolm said “who taught you to hate yourself?”

wow. per a source close to the family, Barbara Bush's last words were "Jeb is short for Jeborah."

Dad: Barbara Bush died
Me: Ok, let me know when Henry Kissinger dies so we can have a party
Mom: Henry Kissinger is still alive!?— 🌹Bella Ciao 🏴🚩 (@SpookGato) April 17, 2018
Geez, I get it. Barbara Bush is dead.
Can we stop acting like it matters to anyone but a family of war criminals?
