President Trump mounted an explicit defense of the Confederate flag on Monday, suggesting that @NASCAR had made a mistake in banning it at races, while also falsely accusing a top Black driver, @bubbawallace, of perpetrating a hoax involving a noose found in his garage.

On Twitter, he wrote: “Has @BubbaWallace apologized to all of those great NASCAR drivers & officials who came to his aid, stood by his side, & were willing to sacrifice everything for him, only to find out that the whole thing was just another HOAX? That & Flag decision has caused lowest ratings EVER!”

Trump’s reference to the Confederate flag, and its role in a sport whose mostly white fans Trump remains popular with, was the latest remark by the president focused on culture wars as he tries to rally his culturally conservative base behind his struggling re-election effort.

The president’s remarks came after a weekend in which he delivered official speeches that avoided explicitly referencing Confederacy totems. Tap the link in our bio to read more.
