This was already discredited last week and NBC had to issue an apology.
He then basically said but Grant was greater. The point was to make Grant look good.
Not only was RE Lee a great general, he was a fine man.
Bet these idiots wouldn’t bat an eye if Trump said the same about Marshal Zhukov or Gen. Giap.
I can think of a few freepers who would agree with the left.
uhh…..he WAS a great General. The historical record is undeniably clear on that point.
“Eugene Gu, M.D.” should know better, whoever he is.
Whoever he is, he is an idiot. Everyone already knows that the SPLC is a bunch of race-baiting whores, like CPL.
Doesn’t change the fact that Lee was a great general and also fought to heal the country after the civil war.
THAT is why he’s honored as treasonous atrocities were committed on all sides of that war.
Lee unquestionably ranks among the greatest of American generals. Unfortunately his only mistake was one of the biggest mistakes of the war.
There would be no point in praising Grant if he had not fought against a worthy enemy. Lee was a great general. He was also an honorable man. Liberals forget that the Civil War generals often shared a common military history and training.
Great General? Someone never asked that to Longstreet or Pickett.
The General Lee was a great Car.
It could fly through the air and come down without a scratch while outrunning every Police Interceptor sent after it.
It had the best Horn too, even better then the one on a Roadrunner.
Great general doesn’t mean great cause, or even a great person. The WWII Japanese had some great generals fighting for a rotten cause.

Yeah, that’s right. That faction was called democrats.
And yet the left thinks the Kenyan cocksucker was an American.
HE WAS THE DEMOCRAT GENERAL
Liberals always miss the point their stupidity glows brighter by the day
Most idiot Americans know nothing about Lee or Grant pre or post Civil War. There is vast collection of knowledge written about them and other generals. The American Civil War was very complex and very relevant to today. It is maddening that sound bites, moronic Twitter blather and media sewage replace truth.
Military historians have long identified Lee as a great general. Trump was only quoting history.
