NEW YORK STATE CONSERVATIVE PARTY CHAIRMAN 

GERARD KASSAR ON EFFORT TO ERASE COLUMBUS DAY IN NEW YORK.

 

 

Brooklyn, NY - “Woke politicians in New York love nothing more than virtue signaling, and they’re at it again this week in trying to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous People’s Day (A.10728 - Mitaynes; S. 2759 - Ramos). Talk about an empty gesture. If Assemblywoman Mitaynes and Senator Ramos truly want to make amends for the American history they despise, they’d submit legislation to return the state to Native Americans, starting with their own property. 

 

“Any takers? 

 

“In the meantime, those of us who appreciate U.S. history, as imperfect as it can be, will proudly celebrate Columbus Day again this year. Christopher Columbus is a major historical figure, of special significance to Americans of Spanish and Italian descent, and the national holiday in his name is well merited. It must remain.”
