Did you listen to the clip? She didn’t do that.

She’s pathetic, but why mischaracterize what she said?

Did you?

She said the president spent more time mentioning “dead confederates” during his speech than he did on COVID and Russia. Then she ended it with calling dead confederates, “dead traitors”.

After being asked the question again, this time Washington specifically, she shifted to stolen Native American land.

Here’s the “dead traitors” Trump Spent all of his time talking about.

Washington
Jefferson
Lincoln
Grant
Jackson
Teddy Roosevelt

Here’s what he mentioned about the Civil War

quote:

By tearing down Washington and Jefferson, these radicals would tear down the very heritage for which men gave their lives to win the Civil War, they would erase the memory that inspired those soldiers to go to their deaths, singing these words of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, “As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, while God is marching on.” They would tear down the principles that propelled the abolition of slavery and ultimately around the world ending an evil institution that had plagued humanity for thousands and thousands of years

Does that sound like Confederate soldiers to you?
