Trump Slams MSM For Lying About His Remarks On Robert E. Lee

“Robert E. Lee” was trending the other night. NBC was trying to make it look like President Trump praised the Confederate general like crazy, ’cause he loves him some racism! WOO GO CONFEDERACY!

NBC– along with the rest of MSM– totally took his remarks out of context. He was setting up the story to praise Grant for DEFEATING Lee.

Yep, here you go… pic.twitter.com/SHw9uOYQRi

Deliberately taken out of context. Trump is actually praising Grant for defeating the acclaimed Lee. But NBC pretends that Trump is praising the Confederacy #FakeNews https://t.co/Kq2aeWaknm

If you listen to the clip, he’s clearly telling a story and building to the point of Lincoln appointing Grant as Lt. General and head of Army of the Potomac, where he proceeded to take Lee on and win where other Union generals had failed. Y’all are such hacks. https://t.co/SfOC9G196d

Trump responded accordingly Sunday morning:

NBC News has totally and purposely changed the point and meaning of my story about General Robert E Lee and General Ulysses Grant. Was actually a shoutout to warrior Grant and the great state in which he was born. As usual, dishonest reporting. Even mainstream media embarrassed!

Do they ever get sick of being so dishonest? Surely, they must.
