President Trump Rejects Removing Names Of Confederate Leaders From U.S. Bases



FOX News: Trump says his administration 'will not even consider' renaming military bases named for Confederates

President Trump on Wednesday came out strongly against the idea of renaming U.S. military bases that are named after Confederate generals -- an issue that has come to the forefront amid the nationwide protests over police brutality and racial injustice.

In a series of tweets on Wednesday afternoon, Trump called the bases named after Confederate soldiers “Hallowed Grounds” that helped train soldiers to win two world wars. He said his administration “will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations.”

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany also began her briefing with the press Wednesday by reading the president's statement on the topic.

“These Monumental and very Powerful Bases have become part of a Great American Heritage, and a history of Winning, Victory, and Freedom,” Trump tweeted. “Therefore, my Administration will not even consider the renaming of these Magnificent and Fabled Military Installations. Our history as the Greatest Nation in the World will not be tampered with. Respect our Military!”

Tell them no and stick to it. Marxists are impossible to appease. Don't even try.

That this is even being considered along with the removal of monuments is absolutely shameful. Led by civilians and college boys with no military experience or appreciation for history at all. One need only look at the many documented post war gatherings of veterans both union and confederate to appreciate the very real respect that these men felt for each other.

Marxists like bullies can't be impeached. There is no difference.
