NBC News sent a tweet that read, “WATCH: President Trump says “Robert E. Lee was a great general” during Ohio rally, calling the Confederate leader “incredible.”

NBC was being blatantly deceptive.

While Trump said Lee was a great leader, which is hardly disputed by historians, he also said it took a greater leader (Ulysses S. Grant) to defeat Lee.

From Daily Wire:

NBC News correspondent Jacob Soboroff encouraged millennials to vote during a segment that aired on Tuesday —hinting that they needed to vote for Democratic candidates — only to learn that not only are students not interested in voting, but they also are not interested in the narratives the media is pushing.

Soboroff visited the University of California-Irvine campus in Orange County — a conservative area — to search for students who were interested in voting in the upcoming election.
