TRUMPIES GONNA MAGA:

Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-Ga.) has removed from his office a biography of Robert E. Lee, which was previously displayed there under a glass case and opened to a page highlighting the Confederate general's racist ideology. [...]
The book, titled "Gen. Robert Edward Lee: Soldier, Citizen, and Christian Patriot," was opened to a page that trumpeted proslavery beliefs, reading in part, "The blacks are immeasurably better off here than in Africa, morally, socially, and physically. The painful discipline they are undergoing is necessary for their instruction as a race, and, I hope, will prepare and lead them to better things."
