Winston Churchill truly was one of the greatest leaders of modern times.
Retired astronaut Scott Kelly shared one of his best quotes …
One of the greatest leaders of modern times, Sir Winston Churchill said, “in victory, magnanimity.” I guess those days are over.

We’re pretty sure Kelly was reflecting on the division in this country and might have even been digging at Trump a little.
But for whatever reason, the Left lost their damn minds.
Sir with all due respect, Winston Churchill is just as good as Hitler. https://t.co/qHaNXUuyn6

Huh?
Hhmm Churchill forgot to reflect on his decision to ignore India's plight in fighting the famine during his administration. Causing millions of Indian to die on the street while stealing their grains and supplied it to British armies.

Oh boy.
Good to hear from the Starbucks baristas in the room …
Christina Sommers was front and center with some serious fact-checks:
For a more balanced view, should you be interested. https://t.co/iLpyM94QPu

The guy LITERALLY beat Hitler but hey, the Left apparently has some narrative to push about Churchill so that whole defeating Nazis thing doesn’t mean as much.
Then for whatever reason, Kelly apologized for quoting Churchill.
Did not mean to offend by quoting Churchill. My apologies. I will go and educate myself further on his atrocities, racist views which I do not support. My point was we need to come together as one nation. We are all Americans. That should transcend partisan politics.

DUDE.
Never apologize to the beast, they won’t accept it anyway and they’ll just drag you further. Stick by your quote, stand by what you say, and ignore the haters.
Please don’t apologize. Winston Churchill, like all of us, had serious human failings. But unlike most of us—he possessed genuine greatness. And that greatness may have saved freedom & democracy. Ask the Twitter scolds to name a hero or heroine who didn’t have serious flaws.

Christina is so awesome.
"I will go and educate myself further on Churchill's atrocities" is the sound of western civilization being stamped in the face by a jackboot forever. https://t.co/pNROOrIBQn

It’s the sound of revisionist history being shoved down his throat.
Churchill literally defeated Hitler. Like, he actually, in real life' defeated actual Hitler….and the left gets mad when you quote him. Tells us who the real fascists are:https://t.co/hml8xnECpX

Really? You apologizing for quoting Churchill? Perhaps your marbles are “Lost in Space”. ???♂️
— HICKORY (@claydirtman) October 8, 2018
You know @StationCDRKelly wouldn’t have gotten any grief from the Left if he’d quoted Stalin. Apparently he’s the only acceptable Allied leader for them anymore.

Or maybe Che Guevara.
Oh come on… Now, we can't quote anyone, we can't talk about anything without someone being over sensitive.
— Daniel Ruiz (@rui5enor) October 8, 2018
No matter what you write or say, there is going to be someone who’s offended. Especially on Leftist Twitter.
The West would’ve literally been a non-fiction version of Man in the High Castle without Churchill you freaking spineless nitwit. https://t.co/ylMQTd4LLB

Why on earth would you allow the hateful people make you apologize? Churchill wasn’t perfect, but who was? This is a sad thing.
— Brian Flook (@bflook) October 8, 2018
This reaction is EXACTLY why he quoted Churchill in the first place.
Sweet yet stupid irony.
