George W. Bush goes mega-viral over Freudian slip that reignited accusations that he is a ‘war criminal’

Former President George W. Bush on Wednesday inadvertently described the invasion of Iraq, which happened under his watch, as “wholly unjustified” and “brutal.”

What did Bush say?
The gaffe happened as Bush was speaking in Dallas about the importance of democracy while comparing Ukraine and Russia.

“In contrast, Russian elections are rigged. Political opponents are imprisoned or otherwise eliminated from participating in the electoral process,” Bush said. “The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq — I mean of Ukraine.”

The former president immediately added under his breath, “Iraq, too — anyway.”

The crowd responded with laughter as Bush attributed his Freudian slip to his old age. Bush is now 75 years old.

The video of Bush’s remarks has since been viewed 16 million times, generating tens of thousands of comments online.

What was the reaction?
While the crowd may have laughed away the Freudian confession, others did not laugh.
