    Trump's outside lawyer, John Dowd, forwarded an email asserting Robert E. Lee is "no different" than Washington. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/16/us/politics/trump-lawyer-email-race-charlottesville.html?_r=0 …pic.twitter.com/mERGkK66MU

        Also, "Neither man is any different [from] Napolean[sic] etc" -- lemme guess, were they all 100th degree Freemasons?

        There is no 33rd degree of Freemasonry. It's a myth. The degrees go AA, BA, MS, PHD, JD, MD, CBS, FBI, KGB, CIA, DTF, X, NC-17 & finally 100

        How about > 100 years, & ONLY LEE fought to save slavery and dissolve the United States in a civil war. THAT'S a petty big difference.

        One was a traitor trying to tear a nation apart and the other built this country and freed it from a foreign power. Slight difference

        I'm sure that was the main sentiment among enslaved people and conscripted poor boys on all sides as he fought to keep humans enslaved.

        General Lee broke his oath as an officer of the Union Army to fight AGAINST the United States. In what way did Lee "save America"?

        There must be a good reason why Dowd is doing this but I can't seem to figure it out (unless he is a racist asshole).
