NBC News issued a correction Sunday after reporting that President Trump described Gen. Robert E. Lee as “incredible,” acknowledging that the president was referring to Gen. Ulysses S. Grant.
“An earlier tweet misidentified the general President Trump described as ‘incredible’ at a rally in Ohio,” said the network’s correction. “It was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, not Gen. Robert E. Lee.”
Mr. Trump, who had accused NBC of twisting his remarks on purpose, responded by retweeting the post and thanking the network.
Thank you to NBC for the correction! https://t.co/L2mX3vREOl
