Washington (CNN) Former President George W. Bush has sent out holiday cards with a pointed message about a hopeful new year as President Donald Trump continues to deny his election loss. The card, which was obtained by CNN, includes an image of Bush's painting of the Statue of Liberty that is titled "Beacon of Hope, 2020" and part of his new art collection celebrating immigrants. "May the light of the holiday season shine bright in your heart now and throughout the New Year," the card's message reads. Bush's choice to make the Statue of Liberty central to his card is symbolic of his past critiques of Trump. The poem itself was targeted by a Trump administration official in 2019 who suggested it should be revised to only include immigrants "who can stand on their own two feet."
