Congrats Democrats, you lost a lot of Italian American votes in this next election.

Christopher Columbus is an icon to many of us and the fact you label him as a monster, desecrate and tear down statues of him that were built by proud Italian immigrants or donated from people in the old country to their cousins in America, is a disgrace.
The man was an explorer who found America, was Governor of the Indies and named Admiral of the Ocean Sea, disproved that the world wasn't flat, and found a new world that the persecuted peoples of Europe could move to. America rewarded the loyalty and patriotism of the Italian immigrant community with making Columbus Day a federal holiday and recognize his contributions by adopting Columbus's name as Columbia for our nation's capital.
Italian Americans who love this country will remember this in the voting booths. Pennsylvania, Florida, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Ohio, Michigan -- all swing states, all have large Italian American populations.

Pelosi, the Cuomos (Fredo and his brother), de Blasio, etc are a disgrace to the community.

Will Mongolia tear down Genghis Khan's statue? Romania with Vlad the Impaler? France with Napoleon?
Columbus never killed anybody in America (he only set foot in Haiti). Amerigo Vespucci deserves as much credit.
