What voters learned about each party on Columbus Day

Columbus Day is not the most widely celebrated federal holiday. But this year, it offered voters a helpful contrast between each of the two political parties and their approaches to the nation’s past and its future.

Like many Democrats, Vice President Kamala Harris chose not to honor Christopher Columbus but instead celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day, which is what the Left prefers to call Oct. 1. It does not simply honor this continent’s pre-Columbian past — that could be done on any day of the year — but is a deliberate and direct repudiation of America’s European heritage.
