George W. Bush came under fire for dancing at the memorial service held for the five officers killed by Micah Johnson last week in Dallas. The service was attended by Barack and Michelle Obama, among others. It was a sombre affair for everyone but George Bush seemed liked he was in the mood to party.
In a video of the service which was attended by Barack and Michelle Obama, among others, Bush can be seen moving along with the music as the choir sang “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”.
People on Twitter were outraged by his behaviour:

While everyone on stage bowed their heads respectfully, Bush, wearing a royal blue suit, can be seen bobbing his head. Clasping his hand in quiet but abject horror was Michelle Obama.
Geez, GWB is still embarassing even when out of the White House! Blue suit & dancing at #DallasMemorial service?! https://t.co/6hcFkEuzYf

George W. Bush was definitely enjoying “Battle Hymn of the Republic” a little more than others onstage in Dallas pic.twitter.com/c8lG7iAs5c

I wonder if Bush was drunk in the memorial service in Dallas. He was dancing to “Glory, glory, alleluia.”

Was that George W. Bush next to Michelle Obama rocking out to “Glory Hallelujah” during the police memorial? Even Biden knows better.
