Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said Sunday that he believes history will be kind to his brother, former President George W. Bush.

“My guess is that people will be kind to my brother,” Bush said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “The further out you get from this and the more people compare his tenure to what’s going on now, I think history will be kind to George W. Bush.”

He cited the popularity of former President George H.W. Bush as evidence. His father’s accomplishments as president were overshadowed by the 1992 election, Bush said, but now, “everywhere I go at least, he’s a beloved guy.”
