NY Post article
So rioters can march all day, destroy and deface property, but proud Italian Americans cannot celebrate their heritage and Columbus's discovery of America?
Also, what's with Apple Calendar putting Indigenous Peoples Day as a holiday right next to Columbus Day? Last I checked, the federal government only recognized Columbus Day.
Columbus Day parades should go forward and the Columbus Day, as a federal holiday, should be a sales tax holiday with government offices closed.

Statues of him have been torn down and desecrated. The statue of him at the namesake Columbus Circle is still standing, for who knows how long.

They accurately predicted what was coming.

Did they cancel Salute to Israel and the PR parade this year too? I didn't notice.

They did. You tear down a statue... No parade.
These people will look for any excuse not to work.

DeBloviate has cancelled the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade also.

These folks will not stop until every single thing American is gone.

Progressive mayors and governors are picking and choosing what gatherings are allowed in public just like they are picking and choosing what businesses are allowed to reopen.

The only thing dumber than a parade is a virtual parade.

The fact that De Blasio, Cuomo, Fredo, Pelosi are Italians and they represent the community

And you know who's to blame? Not the politicians.
The people that
1. Voted them in
2. Let them continue to do this. Rebel, and that shite stops.
