A portrait of Confederate general Robert E Lee that includes a slave guiding his horse is set to be reinstated in the Pentagon.

The 20-foot-tall painting, which was on display at the United States Military Academy for 70 years, will be hung in the West Point library under President Trump’s instruction despite a congressionally mandated commission that ordered its removal back in 2020.

    We are watching the winners rewrite history right in front of our eyes. This is worse then 1984. We need to make sure we can undo all this bullshit. And burn this fucking painting.
