“Both Good and Bad, Are Being Extinguished by the Radical Left, and We Can’t Let That Happen” – President Trump Calls Out Taking Down the Statue of Robert E. Lee

President Trump released a statement on the taking down of the statue of the great General Robert E. Lee.

President Trump shared today on the taking down of the statue of Robert E. Lee’s statue in Richmond, Virginia.

Just watched as a massive crane took down the magnificent and very famous statue of “Robert E. Lee On His Horse” in Richmond, Virginia. It has long been recognized as a beautiful piece of bronze sculpture. To add insult to injury, those who support this “taking” now plan to cut it into three pieces, and throw this work of art into storage prior to its complete desecration.

Robert E. Lee is considered by many Generals to be the greatest strategist of them all. President Lincoln wanted him to command the North, in which case the war would have been over in one day. Robert E. Lee instead chose the other side because of his great love of Virginia, and except for Gettysburg, would have won the war. He should be remembered as perhaps the greatest unifying force after the war was over, ardent in his resolve to bring the North and South together through many means of reconciliation and imploring his soldiers to do their duty in becoming good citizens of this country.
