On Twitter Thursday morning, Donald Trump lamented the removal of racist Confederate statues around the country:
“Sad to see the history and culture of our great country being ripped apart with the removal of our beautiful statues and monuments. You……..can't change history, but you can learn from it. Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson – who's next, Washington, Jefferson? So foolish! Also……the beauty that is being taken out of our cities, towns and parks will be greatly missed and never able to be comparably replaced!”

He also went after Lindsey Graham for correctly stating that Trump drew a moral equivalency between hate groups and those who protest them:
“Publicity seeking Lindsey Graham falsely stated that I said there is moral equivalency between the KKK, neo-Nazis & white supremacists………and people like Ms. Heyer. Such a disgusting lie. He just can't forget his election trouncing.The people of South Carolina will remember! … The public is learning (even more so) how dishonest the Fake News is. They totally misrepresent what I say about hate, bigotry etc. Shame!”
