Ah...Didn't Columbus TARNISH his Own Legacy?

There are few if any "left wing radicals" in the states. The leftists in the US would be considered moderate in any other developed country. And Columbus Day is glorifying colonialism.

He is a 🐷

Only a malignant narcissist/child molester/racist, would think it’s ok for a white explorer to give known contaminated blankets (Germ Warfare) to the Native Americans. 🙄Columbus wasn’t even the first one to Discover America. 🙄🙄

Donald Trump says the moon is made of cheese. Some experts are skeptical. Your job is to find the truth, not comment on views

Anyone surprised?

Trump loves Columbus because he stole valuable beach real estate. He also loves Columbus because he f--ked Indian women & then left them with Gonorrhea. But he really loves Columbus because he stole land, gave women the clap & then banished the Indians so he could develop the real estate. Familiar?

It doesn’t matter what Trump says. It’s indigenous peoples day today. It should be every day but you know I’ll accept just the one day if we can all sort of agree on that. Also, has anyone broke the news to him that Columbus brought over a whole bunch of Hispanic people?

They also celebrate the “heroes” who murdered Native Americans at Wounded Knee.

Can we just have Italian/American appreciation day/month and shit can Columbus? Seems like a better solution.

the stupidest person to ever get press time

Proclamations don’t change history.

He never 'discovered' the land now known as the USA... he landed in the caribian, and there were allready people living there that did all the discovering...

dumb fucks Columbus never set foot on this country.

Of course he's honoring Columbus. Pedophiles gotta stick up for their own ya know.

Honoring a lousy human being who returned home in disgrace, who was jailed and died penniless. That tracks #fdt #fascist #releasetheepsteinfiles

Call it Italian American Day and problem solved. JFC.

Columbus tarnished his own legacy by rapping, insulating and killing indigenous people, like trump he was a horrible person and deserves no recognition .

he's always hated the natives so yes I agree that the erasing part

Well, he would love a murderous rapist, wouldn't he?

Even if you were to overlook the not-so-minor fact that millions of people were already living in the Americas in 1492, the fact is that Columbus never set foot on the shores of North America. (From biography.com)

Again, 47 is pushing his outdated, insensitive ideas.

Trump’s proclamation ain’t worth shit

Columbus did that just fine on his own.

Columbus was a rapist…. No wonder Dump likes him.

... "They're trying to tarnish his legacy by..." *checks notes* "Telling it in its accurate, horrifying entirety."... Got it. 🙃

Please stop walking the tight rope for Trump. Do journalism that fights back. Why am I donating to you?

Truly reclaiming Cristobal Colon’s legacy: Systematically abuse brown people as second-class human beings Rob them blind Violently separate families Tacitly allow sexual violence Spread lethal disease Lie about resources that exist in a country Or, a Tuesday in the current administration.

How funny you say that it ERASES Native American heritage! This from the same deep thinkers that want to rename every school/team that recognizes their local Native American heritage.

Trump and his party are definite trying to whitewash USA history. No question about it.

Impeach tRump

By the end of this year Timothy McVeigh will be getting the presidential medal of freedom posthumously.

Two things can be true.

Trump likes Columbus because he was the Epstein of his day. In journals & letters we learned how Columbus enslaved & trafficked Indigenous women and girls for sexual exploitation, part of a larger pattern of extreme brutality committed by Columbus and his men against the people of the West Indies.

Is baby trump throwing a temper tantrum?

Must suck to live in such a bigoted, hateful head.

Drop this national holiday Per Wikipedia: Columbus Day was founded by President Benjamin Harrison in 1892 in response to the horrific, xenophobic attack that took the lives of 11 Italian Americans the year before. Yeah, white male citizens hated Italian immigrants also.

"President Trump said something that was insane. People who aren't insane disagree..."

Some experts? What do Native Americans say about the heritage of Native Americans?

Racist megalomaniac pedophiles protecting their own

Oh, okay, if Donnie says so. /s

Kind of like quoting Kirk.

Columbus was a monster. He is only admired by monsters.

Rapists have to stick together.

No. Columbus was a genocidal ghoul.

the “President” is a racist old pedophile… consider his opinions accordingly 👀🤮

“Some experts”? Do other experts say something different? Everybody knows exactly what this is, @npr.org. Even the bad guys. No experts needed. Will you please stop with this both sides crap? They have taken your funding. You don’t have to pretend anymore.

Some experts say?

Trump and his fascist enablers rely on the choice of ignorance. If you honor the myth of Columbus' "heritage" you've made your choice.

Revisionist history along with the Wounded Knee Massacre.

If that’s the case, then why is the Trump administration trying to polish the turd of Columbus? Are you saying they should let history speak for itself? If so then we agree.

Yes those violent but uber woke left wing radicals with their mysterious ability to control the weather who have been holding a grudge against Christopher C 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫🙄🙄🙄.

Truth = left wing radicalism. Ok.

Oh and he never visited any place that ever became part of the USA so I have no idea why America has such strong feelings?

Yes, anyone who is not an extremist dictator is a “left-wing radical” according to Taco. I don’t care who gets credit for today, either way, it’s not the real story. So, enjoy the day for the freedoms and rights we still have.

Lost at sea, became famous, because Rich Friends...

And then he says this on Indigenous Peoples Day. What an ignorant asshat. He clearly hates democracy.

Congratulations to NPR on continuing to lean into "both sides" journalism.

Columbus's legacy of rape, pillage, and slavery was judged properly *in his own day*.

NPR you already lost your federal funding, you can stop placating. How about “President Trump tries to erase the heritage of Native Americans by attempting to resurrect Columbus’ tarnished legacy, experts say”

St Brendan's legacy.
