Equating Lee to Washington and Jefferson. Equating Nazis with any other group
Robert E Lee is a hero to some at that makes it A-Ok
Regarding the media hysteria over his comments.....members of his OWN PARTY are hanging their heads in shame ( see Gen Kelly)
As my own personal aside, did the piece of shit douchebag indicate he "knows more than anyone else" about the events that transpired. Really? How so? Why? What does he know?
These talking points are a waste of time. Nobody is going to defend Nazis, it's a bad plan
