It’s been a very bad week for those who support President Trump. First there was his disastrous post-Charlottesville press conference where he asserted some of the neo-Nazi marchers in Virginia were “good people.” Then, at the end of the week, Trump fired chief political strategist Steve Bannon, a darling of the alt-right wing of the GOP.

Problem is, “J.E.B. Stuart,” (which just so happens to have been the name of a brutal Confederate General), only got his version of American history partially correct, as Reid pointed out:
