WTF? Comparing George Washington to Robert E Lee Is As Stupid As...Well...As Stupid As...

...comparing Barack Obama to Donald Trump.

The first is a one of a kind President that represented all that's best in America, and the other represents the worst parts of America, that we'd really rather forget.

Congratulations, Republicans. YOU BUILT THAT! You f-ing OWN this.



I think every white nationalist and alt-right neo-nazi in the country had a collective orgasm when this shithead compared Washington to Lee, and claimed the neo-nazis were 'very nice people' who were just there to protest the renaming of a park.

However, when King George heard that George Washington was about to step down as promised, at the end of his Presidency, the king is said to have remarked, "If he really does that, he will become the greatest man of this century." Washington was so idolized at that point that many were urging him to simply allow himself to be crowned king. Washington truly loved our country.
