Steve Bannon lambasts George W Bush's 'destructive' presidency

Former White House adviser Steve Bannon has described former US president George W Bush as bumbling and inept, criticising his "destructive" presidency from 2000-2008.

Mr Bannon's scathing remarks were a retort to a speech by Mr Bush in New York earlier this week, in which the 43rd president denounced bigotry in Trump-era American politics and warned that the rise of "nativism", isolationism and conspiracy theories have clouded the nation's true identity.
