'You Can't Change History': Trump Bemoans Removal Of Confederate Statues
WASHINGTON (CBS13) – President Trump is wading back into a racially-charged debate on Twitter, bemoaning the removal of Confederate statues.
The president posted a three-part tweet Thursday morning, this time critiquing the removal of those statues.
"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!" the tweets together read.
Fallout from Pres. Trump's contentious Tuesday news conference continues on Capitol Hill continues on Capitol Hill. Trump caught heat for refusing to place blame for the violence in Charlottesville on white supremacists.
Protests continue around the country and the world after that speech.
In Santiago, Chile, outside the building where Vice President Mike Pence gave a speech, there was a show of solidarity with Charlottesville.
Nearly a dozen high-profile corporate leaders quit the president's business advisory council, over his response to the violence in Charlottesville. In a tweet on Wednesday, with more CEO's leaving his councils, the president announced he had disbanded the group.
