June 10, 2020
By Sarah K. Burris
President Donald Trump did a roundtable with his Black supporters who sang his praises for policies and attacked reporters and commentators of color like CNNs Don Lemon and longtime commentator Roland Martin.
During the Wednesday roundtable, Trump was asked again about why he feels the fallen Confederacy must be protected. The president praised bases named after the Confederacy, saying that they were icons of winning.
When asked about it, Huffington Post reporter Jen Bendery noted that he refused to answer, twice.

Can't alienate that base. He's gotta have a roomful of bigots in Jacksonville (pending).

Cheers to all our confederate, racist, promiscuous gun toters whose last BIG violent protest was a matter of treason and splitting the country apart. Don has your backs and you have his full support, well, until its your turn. Fine losers on that side!

He clearly doesn't realize they got their ass kicked & THEY sued for peace, & THEY surrendered!
What a dunce.

If we are really lucky he may break out some "sleepy Joe" classic hits and then turn it over to Pence or one of his dimwit lackeys to bring it home. Really useless speech that I am sure his base will eat it right on up.

(1,665 posts)Why name them after the losers?
(He does know the confederacy lost, right?)
No military force in history killed as many soldiers fighting under the American Flag as the confederacy. Why any patriotic American would do anything more than spit on confederate graves is beyond my understanding.
