General McClellan called Lincoln names and was insubordinate to him as Lincoln pushed him to fight instead of hesitating indefinitely. Lincoln fired him.

Remember the story of Lincoln waiting for the General to return home, Lincoln in the guy’s parlor?

McClellan, who reminds me of Comey, comes in, and goes directly upstairs, leaving Lincoln in the parlor.

amazing...I don’t think he fired him right then, it came later.
