MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell didn’t hold back his contempt for Trump’s announcement during a speech to the troops at Fort Bragg this Tuesday where he mentioned restoring the names of military bases back to those of Confederate generals.
After discussing Trump’s ignorance of history while griping about people waving Mexican flags in Los Angeles, O’Donnell discussed the racist history of the confederate flag, that Trump has no issue with.
O’DONNELL: Donald Trump has no objection to seeing Confederate flags in the Confederate states that waged war against the United States of America and killed more Americans than the Mexican army ever could have in our war with Mexico.
Donald Trump wants to honor the most treasonous people who have ever lived in this country.
Donald Trump spoke at Fort Bragg today, an army base whose name was changed in the Biden administration when someone finally realized that naming American army bases after generals who committed treason and killed American soldiers, is not the best idea.
General Braxton Bragg was a Confederate general who committed treason and killed as many Americans as he possibly could while committing that treason during the Civil War, and Donald Trump restored the name Bragg to that fort to honor the committing of treason, and the murdering of American soldiers.
