CNN: Trump using Gettysburg for GOP nomination is controversial because CONFEDERATE STATUES!

CNN reporter Jeremy Diamond actually said today that Trump using the Gettysburg Civil War battlefield to accept his GOP nomination is controversial because Trump has defended confederate statues!

 
Diamond also said something similar earlier today and it made just as much sense then too:

 
As some on Twitter were quick to point out, does Diamond even realize what happened at Gettysburg? After a bloody battle, the South, led by Robert E. Lee, was sent in retreat back to Virginia. The North won the costly battle and many say it was the turning point of the Civil War. So how does Trump defending confederate statues from being torn down make this controversial?

Also, just to point out, when Diamond says this is ‘controversial’, what he means is that he and the media are going to make it ‘controversial’. But if this is what they are going with I think Trump is pretty safe.

Here’s a little response:
