Kamala Harris wants to rename Columbus Day “Indigenous Peoples’ Day”

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — Sen. Kamala Harris told a crowd Monday that she would push for the federal government to rename Columbus Day “Indigenous Peoples’ Day," a focal point for some progressives who say the holiday should emphasize the history of Native Americans instead of the European conquerer.
“Sign me up,” Harris said in response to a voter's question of whether she would support the initiative to rename the holiday. She spoke of her own efforts in the Senate to make lynching a federal crime.
Harris, who officially launched her campaign for president last month in Oakland, drew an overflow crowd on her first town hall in New Hampshire, the site of the country's first presidential primary. They spilled out of a church and into the snowy streets of Portsmouth to hear her deliver a campaign message of "speaking truth" and "fighting for justice," a refrain that focuses in part on her past as a prosecutor and law enforcement official.
Harris also committed to passing a "new Voting Rights Act" that would make Election Day a federal holiday and emphasize same-day voter registration.
"I was impressed that she answered specific tough questions in the affirmative," said Chip Noon, a real estate photographer from Durham, New Hampshire, who came to Harris's event with his daughter, Jen Hess.
"I was expecting her to wiggle out of the question," Hess said. "I think people are tired of that kind of thing. Our B.S. meter is pretty high."
Harris's competitor in the Democratic primary, Sen. Cory Booker, was asked the same question in New Hampshire Sunday, but did not commit to renaming the holiday.
"I'd like to talk more about why you think it's important on a federal level," Booker told voters. "My commitment to you and indigenous peoples is to tell the truth, to work to address the issues, and to find a way to have real recognition and healing."

That's a left-wing dog whistle. Those self-hating honkies eat that shite up.

We're going all the way back to retroactively fix alleged wrongs from the fifteenth century? Boy, the Italians should have fun with this shtick if they have to make up for the Roman Empire's extracurricular activities.

Why?
Can't she lobby to create new day called indigenous people's day? Why does she have to erase Columbus to do it?

She backtracked socialism and then went full retard again. No one is going to believe her. I would bet the farm her and the vegan spartacus douche are involved in the Jussie set up.

Oh. Great. Let's talk about the brutality of the Indians during wars and battles. And let's have a historical discussion about every country ever and the war fought for and history involved in who gets to call it home.

Seriously, the Democratic debates will be an absolute circus. At least one candidate will propose reparations and it will seem mild relative to the other stuff they talk about as they try to out-clown each other.

Then why not rename it, "The day indigenous people left the stone age"!

Columbus discovering America is a myth and he was a barbaric tyrant. Still, it’s just political malpractice for a Dem candidate to inject this into their campaign unprovoked? “Let’s isolate those racist Italians”. Because they aren’t fricking sensitive at all about people trying to take Columbus Day away already. JFC
Who exactly are the voters you are picking up by doing this? The Native Americans?

Kamala really needs to be laying low about now. This Jussie thing’s not going away.
