Three senior administration officials told NBC News that White House aides are “revisiting the idea” of renaming 10 US military bases that honor Confederate leaders despite President Trump denouncing the possibility. However, Administration officials swiftly denied the report to The Post.

One official told NBC: “It’s a foregone conclusion that the bases will be renamed, so why not try to influence who they’re named after?”

A White House aide told The Post: “This is incorrect. The president reiterated today that we won’t be erasing our history and isn’t considering changing the names of bases.”

He’s always got somebody inside those walls trying to talk him out of his better instincts. Jared. Ivanka. Ben Carson telling him to be cool with anthem kneelers. Etc.

Great logic, if we conclude that It’s a foregone conclusion that we all will get COVID19 can we all resume our lives ?(except those who get sick obviously)

They should be renamed. We need to be on the side of freedom, so why honor generals who fought to preserve slavery, rather than to eliminate it? These generals will live on in the history books and film documentaries where they belong, so we wouldn’t be “erasing history.”
