The House minority leader was making the case that past Republican presidents, from Eisenhower to Bush, had used their executive authority to alter the nation's immigration system.
Then she said this: “And nobody was better on immigration than George W. Bush. He was absolutely great.”
Bush's work with the late Sen. Ted Kennedy to try to get comprehensive immigration reform passed remains a black mark on his presidential legacy with many conservatives. I suspect an "absolutely great" rating from the much-despised Pelosi will further cement W's reputation with the far right as "absolutely not one of us."
