SHAME ON REPUBLICANS FOR JOINING DEMOCRATS IN REWRITING HISTORY ..... MADNESS IN THE WAKE OF THE FLOYD SHOOTING.

Republican senators rebelled against Donald Trump late Wednesday by voting to tell the Army to rename bases named after Confederate generals within the next three years.

The Armed Services Committee, whose members include Trump ultra-loyalist Tom Cotton, voted behind closed doors for the move, CNN reported.

It came hours after Donald Trump tweeted furiously that he will 'not even consider' renaming Forts Bragg, Hood, Lee and others.

The 10 bases are named for a group which includes slave owners, officers who left the U.S. Army to join the rebels, and at least one general who ordered the execution of unarmed prisoners.

The traitor generals who fought to save slavery: Bases are named after generals including Leonidas Polk who owned 400 slaves, KKK leader John Brown Gordon and Henry Benning who feared a 'land in possession of the blacks'

 

EDITOR'S NOTE: The last two weeks sure looked like our land in possession of the blacks.
