George W. Bush told Matt Lauer about the worst moment in his presidency in an interview and later wrote about it in his memoir. Both times, Bush named the time Kanye West accused him of not caring about black people as the worst moment of his presidency. Oluo uses Bush’s assertion as a way to demonstrate that among all of the death, war, and terrorism, the moment he was called a racist still strikes him as the worst moment.
