Trump Lawyer Forwards Email Echoing Secessionist Rhetoric

Trump Lawyer Forwards Email Echoing Secessionist Rhetoric
This is stupid. There is one important difference between Washington and Lee. Washington won while Lee lost. "The email forwarded by John Dowd, who is leading the president’s legal team, painted the Confederate general Robert E. Lee in glowing terms and equated the South’s rebellion to that of the American Revolution against England. Its subject line — “The Information that Validates President Trump on Charlottesville” — was a reference to comments Mr. Trump made earlier this week in the aftermath of protests in the Virginia college town. “You cannot be against General Lee and be for General Washington,” the email reads, “there literally is no difference between the two men.”"
