While Columbus Day has been observed in the United States in one form or another since 1792, a battle over it has emerged over the last several years. Most of the angst stems from modern ideas about “colonization,” which is the extremely over-simplified assertion that all European expansion was evil and counter-productive.
Of course, with Vice President Kamala Harris never meeting a woke cause she didn’t love, it’s no surprise she and President Joe Biden immediately instituted “Indegiouns Peoples Day” as a quasi-replacement for Columbus Day in 2021. Harris’ comments at the time have reemerged, and are going viral after the Trump campaign highlighted them on Monday.
Happy Columbus Day!
