There is no compromise in the Civil War, either you were a Slave Owner or you were a Slave. Freedom has no compromise #JohnKelly

#JohnKelly should speak to some newly-naturalized US citizens and ask them to explain basic civics. No doubt they understand the history of the civil war better than he. https://t.co/To1ew2VIsf

#JohnKelly has sullied his reputation by exploiting his son's death & exposing himself as a #Racist, #Bigot & #WhiteSupremacist like #Trump!

#JohnKelly has NO GRASP on history. The Civil War secessionists were offered an unamendable Constitutional amendment to preserve slavery.

When #JohnKelly was quietly working behind the scenes he was revered. But once he spoke it revealed he's a racist & bigot just like #Trump!
