Oct. 12 is recognized as Columbus Day, the date on which explorer Christopher Columbus landed on San Salvador, changing the course of human civilization. Yet, if you followed many Democrats on social media — and sadly, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) — you’d think it was the made-up holiday perpetuated by left-wing politicians and Howard Zinn acolytes recognizing Native Americans. Democrats call it “Indigenous Peoples’ Day,” a day specifically created to replace Columbus Day because of Columbus’s alleged sins, under the guise of honoring Native American history and heritage, while ignoring and omitting the sins and wrongdoings of indigenous people.

Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) ignored Columbus Day and made a social media post honoring the fake “Indigenous Peoples’ Day.” So, too, did Democratic Senate candidate Abdul el Sayed; the elected official oblivious to massive Somali fraud in his state, Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN); Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL); former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA); Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI); Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ); Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI); and Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), among many other Democratic members of Congress.
