President Donald Trump attacked NBC News for distorting his recent comments on Confederate General Robert E. Lee, in a Sunday tweet.

NBC News has totally and purposely changed the point and  meaning of my story about General Robert E Lee and General Ulysses Grant. Was actually a shoutout to warrior Grant and the great state in which he was born. As usual, dishonest reporting. Even mainstream media embarrassed!

I cant get over the ridiculousness of those trying to make an controversial issue of the American Civil War.

Seriously, aren't there other more pressing matters at hand?

CORRECTION: An earlier tweet misidentified the general President Trump described as "incredible" at a rally in Ohio. It was Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, not Gen. Robert E. Lee. An attached video clip lacked the full context for Trump's remark. Here is the full clip. pic.twitter.com/NZHj3Q2dHL
