From the article:

"Barbara Bush was a generous and smart and amazing racist who, along with her husband, raised a war criminal," Randa Jarrar wrote on Twitter, according to the Fresno Bee.

From an earlier article:

Former first lady Barbara Bush said that Hurricane Katrina refugees being housed in the Houston Astrodome were "underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them."

I understand being sympathetic to the family for their own loss, but Bush was an unreconstructed racist who was married to a war criminal, and who raised a war criminal. So all of this eulogizing and "fond remembrance" is a way of forgetting the real harm that the Bush family did.
