I appreciate the entertaining and enlightening discussions I hear on your program. Regarding the recent show on Trump's comments in Charlottesville, I think Snopes' description may be more balanced than the one I heard y'all do: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-very-fine-people/. If you have some documentation that there were no people at the rally who thought it wrong to remove a Lee statue who weren't also neo-Nazi's, I'd love to review it. I was also intrigued by your comment that Lee was not like Washington or Jefferson because they were founding the country and Lee was destroying it. At first, I thought that was right on the mark. But then, after thinking about it, it might not be unreasonable to think that Lee was fighting to maintain the kind of country Washington and Jefferson created; Lee may not have been as different from Washington and Jefferson as you made out. Anyway, super thanks for your wonderful program!
