Cindy Sheehan was much tougher on G.W. Bush than any Gold Star family member has ever been on 45, but he put on his big boy pants and sucked it up.Study in contrast: How Bush handled Cindy Sheehan-VIDEO
In considering Donald Trump's handling of Gold Star widow Myeshia Johnson, the panel discusses how fmr. President George W. Bush handled anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan.
Cindy Sheehan, the mother of Army Specialist Casey Sheehan who was killed during the Iraq War in March 2004, staged a public, years long campaign against President Bush beginning in 2005.
She camped outside the president’s Prairie Chapel Ranch for over a month in August 2005, demanding a meeting with Bush to discuss the war.
“Camp Casey” became a media zeitgeist, visited by hundreds of supporters, Democrat U.S. Reps. Maxine Waters and Shelia Jackson Lee, as well as Joan Baez, Martin Sheen and Rev. Al Sharpton.
Bush fielded a question about Sheehan during a press conference on August 11, 2oo5, five days after Sheehan began her demonstration.
“I sympathize with Mrs. Sheehan,” Bush said. “She feels strongly about her position, and she has every right in the world to say what she believes.
This is America. She has the right to her position.
