President Donald Trump rebuked coverage by certain media of his comments related to Confederate Army Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Trump accused media—specifically NBC News, who later issued a correction—of twisting and cutting his full remarks made during an Oct. 12 rally where he praised a number of Ohioans. He said his statements about Lee were part of a monologue in which he applauded Union Gen. Ulysses S. Grant—an Ohio native.
