Instead of attacking Juneteenth, conservatives could spend their time criticizing a holiday with a far more radical history: Labor Day.

Since Juneteenth was first recognized as a federal holiday by President Joe Biden in 2021, conservatives have dedicated a considerable amount of time to making fun of the celebration. Some of this criticism is warranted, as its recognition was largely virtue signaling by Biden, and Juneteenth has been used to push left-wing narratives about “equity and racial justice.” However, the holiday’s creation was a campaign promise by former President Donald Trump in 2020.
