Rev. Rob W. Lee, an anti-racism and social justice advocate, and his family are rebuking claims from Confederate Civil War buffs that they aren’t distant relatives of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
The North Carolina pastor has called for the removal of monuments dedicated to the general he says is his slaveholding ancestor. Confederate apologists have disputed his family connection to the general, and he says he’s been bombarded with death threats.
Rob W. Lee provided Axios a nearly 400-page family genealogy report gathered by a hired genealogist that ties him to Lee over multiple generations using a zig-zag of births and family marriages.
“The Reverend” Rob Lee—a Cultural Marxist propagandist who has attempted to make a name for himself by dumping all over his alleged ancestors to score points with historical illiterates—is still a liar and a fraud. His claim to fame is that he is a descendant of General Robert E. Lee, but he is not. Nor is he a nephew of the General, as he has also falsely claimed. After being exposed as a liar and a fraud, he has now returned with 400 pages worth of bullcrap to explain that he is distantly-related to the General.
Well, who isn’t?
I am descended from more than a dozen Civil War veterans, and I could list them all, along with the units they served in, in addition to detailing how I am descended from them, in a page or less. I would not need to hire anyone to do it for me. I would not need 400 pages to do it.
Apparently, the race-baiting “reverend” Rob is simply hoping that no one notices how far he had to move the goal post in order to continue pretending that he has some sort of clout or authority to speak about General Lee.
