I have to assume it's about Nikki Haley and her dumbass remarks on the Civil War.

Like, if you're going to pretend you don't have to think about or acknowledge the bad parts of American history because your family wasn't here yet don't try to get Patriot Points (TM) for talking about the good/prideful ones.

Yeah, and more generally speaking the Kremlin's social media propaganda is trying to divide Americans, and other democratic countries, by creating/emphasizing differences and decreasing unity.

"True Americans" vs "new Americans", emphasis on multiple negative aspects of the US' history, etc. Divide and conquer in an age of anonymous social media having serious influence over democratic governments.
