Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has condemned the removal of Confederate statues, saying he had a “visceral reaction against” the destruction of monuments honoring southern leaders from the Civil War.

Robert E. Lee, the top Confederate general, had “extraordinary qualities of leadership” that deserve to be celebrated, Kennedy said Friday in an interview for the Timcast IRL, which is hosted by conservative podcaster Tim Pool.

“There were heroes in the Confederacy who didn’t have slaves,” Kennedy said in response to a question about the monuments. “And, you know, I just, I just have a visceral reaction to this destroying history. I don’t like it. I think we should celebrate who we are. And that, you know, we should celebrate the good qualities of everybody.”

Sure, he is making a big play for the southern, white, Republican demographic. But what surprises me is the line - “There were heroes in the Confederacy who didn’t have slaves,” I mean, even in the history of pandering, this is a bit much.

The Confederacy was founded with the explicit goal of preserving and expanding the institution of slavery. Its leaders and soldiers fought to maintain slavery and white supremacy.

This is similar to some guy claiming about the Nazis - "There are some fine people on both sides".

He clearly is a racist. He clearly is a bigger threat to Republicans than Democrats.

And he waited this long to say this? Which just coincidentally coincides with his run for the presidency? What? Does he think he has a shot at Trump Supporters. oh..pun.

hmm. A shot at Trump supporters...well...some one did shoot trump supporters while aiming at President Trump.

And MAGA thrives on lies and stupidity. Trump is done but the patriots in this country aren't done yet, they will be done when MAGA is dead and buried.Any way possible. We all know we have only killed the germ but the sick body has to go also, buried deep and forever.

They were not prosecuted after the war, so you are incorrect.

1,000 military tribunals in which Confederates, both regulars and guerrillas, were charged with various violations of the laws of war –

But they weren't charged as traitors. And why did you answer for the other guy? You sound just like him.
