Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump enthusiastically supported the impeachment of former President George W. Bush in 2008 because Trump disagreed with Bush on the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

“I was surprised that she didn’t do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush,” Trump told Wolf Blitzer in a CNN interview.

“It just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which, personally, I think would have been a wonderful thing,” the 2016 Republican presidential candidate explained.

“He lied,” the 69-year-old real estate tycoon charged. “He got us into the war with lies.”

Interesting little blast from the past.

I'm not even going to defend GWB, but this is the part I particularly object to: "“He lied,” the 69-year-old real estate tycoon charged. “He got us into the war with lies.”"

That's just not close to true and a scurrilous charge. But, a popular one among the uninformed.
