Former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush made a joint appearance at the Inaguration Celebration Wednesday night. The trio spoke from the Memorial Amphitheater at Arlington National Cemetery with Clinton remarking:
“This is an unusual thing. We are both trying to come back to normalcy, deal with totally abnormal challenges, and do what we do best, which is try to make a more perfect union. It’s an exciting time.”
And Obama added, “You’ve got all of us here rooting for your success. We will be available in any ways that we can as citizens to help you guide our country forward.”
A lot of the message echoed Joe Biden’s calls for unity, such as when Bush said “if Americans would love their neighbors like they would like to be loved themselves, a lot of the division in our society would end.”
Although former president Donald Trump’s name was never uttered in the nearly three-minute clip, it served as an unsubtle rebuke to the latest member of the ex-presidents club, who has torpedoed the norms surrounding the peaceful transfer of power.
Watch above.
