NORTH CAROLINA (WTVD)– President Donald Trump defended the name of Fort Bragg amid calls to remove relations to Confederate general on U.S. military bases.
During an interview on ‘Fox News Sunday,’ Trump discussed issues of freedom of speech behind the Black Lives Matter movement and the Confederate flag. He defended both sides as “freedom of speech.”
When asked about the representation of Confederate leaders on U.S. military bases Trump said he was against such changes, describing the calls for the name change as a symptom of “cancel culture.”
