Fox News host Laura Ingraham laughed as she suggested that President Donald Trump should honor a Confederate general who fought to uphold slavery to enrage liberals.
Since taking office for a second time, Trump has overseen massive changes to the physical features of the White House, including a gold-drenched Oval Office overhaul, a paved-over lawn in the Rose Garden, and now a major demolition in the East Wing to make way for a massive ballroom. Not everyone is a fan.

I can’t wait to see the ballroom finished.LAURA INGRAHAM: Well, I think if he really wants to get them completely, you know, just losing their minds, he should have a whole statuary garden and bring back Robert E. Lee to the statuary garden. Right?(LAUGHS)That would really put them to, you know– not in an early grave, we want everyone to be healthy and happy. But the history, yeah, okay, let’s do history. Let’s put them all back, all the statues back
