George Washington is one of America’s founding fathers. To compare him w/a traitor like Robert E Lee just shows Trump’s colossal ignorance.

Robert Lee & his Confederate army fought to preserve slavery, which Abe Lincoln opposed. Lee is part of a dark chapter in history.
-
Confederates were so keen on preserving slavery that they wanted to break up America. Their statues are representative of racist hate.
-
All of that is part of history but nothing to be proud of. These statues don't add any beauty to cities, towns or parks. Should be replaced.
-
These statues are not civil war era monuments. They were erected in the 20th century to intimidate POC. Time to take them all down.
-
Other cities should follow Baltimore's example. All Confederate statues taken down in one night.
-
Agree. I hope Trump'a tweets lead to people learning about the shameful history of these monuments.
-
I didn't know until last week end that these are not actual civil war artifacts, and I'm an educated person.

America's White supremacist POTUS just can't help himself can he? You are an utterly clueless and compulsive bigot!
-
Instead of using the nations biggest bully pulpit to bring unity, you choose to be divisive and stoke the flames of racial hatred
-
If you can't understand that confederate symbols are painful reminders of America is racist past and very offensive, try a history lesson!
-
You stand up for Robert E Lee in Stonewall Jackson and you didn't even know that Frederick Douglass was dead! You are an embarrassment!
-
How about you erect Lee and Jackson on one of your properties? Heck, you can even add George Wallace and Bull Connor, they'd fit perfectly
-
Are you kidding, he's probably snatching-up these statues one-by-one as they are removed. Future statue garden at a Trump property!

They cannot erase history. It wasn't enough that the leftists revised all of our history books but now they want everything erased.
-
They are going to find something wrong with everything. It's what progressives do. They are miserable people.
-
Never happy, triggered all the time, petty, and passive-aggressive. No thank you!
-
What if the right started finding everything wrong with their cultures and erasing it? They would lose their minds.
-
You keep being you, President Trump. Keep Tweeting these truth bombs. The amount of triggering you cause gives me life.
