A resurfaced photo of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani flipping off a statue of Christopher Columbus is sparking backlash online and with some members of the Italian-American community.
"Take it down," Mamdani posted in June 2020, along with a photo showing what is presumably his gloved hand raising the middle finger toward a statue of the famed Italian explorer in Astoria, New York.
In a post around the same time, Mamdani asked his followers in a poll who should be honored instead of Columbus with options that included, "Tony Bennett (Astoria native, music icon) Walter Audisio (Communist partisan, killed Mussolini) Sacco & Vanzetti (Executed due to anti-Italian sentiment)."
The winners of the poll were Sacco and Vanzetti, two anarcho-communists executed in 1927.

It makes complete sense that a communist would not like the father of western civilization.

1) Sp, how far back does that SOB's American lineage go?
2) I swear, sometimes I think that AT LEAST 40% of Trump haters actually hate Trump because there was an unabated, 24/7 attack on white people, especially white men, taking place in America until Trump arrived on the scene.
PS - And if you don't think there's a ton of hatred and racism against white people in this country, just ask Caitlin Clark. Or, the parents of those young white girls who just drowned in South Texas.

Amazing how many people support a radical who hates their them, their lineage, their culture, their entire country. He wants to destroy his supporters and their way of life. Mass propaganda induced insanity is my best hypothesis for this phenomenon.

You’re confusing Columbus with your mother.
