Hey Ho! Hey Ho! Christopher Columbus has to go. So will De Blasio and other NYC hacks boycott the Columbus Day parade? I guess Columbus Circle in the heart of Midtown Manhattan needs to renamed. How about Oscar Lopez-Rivera circle since all the NYC politicos luv this FALN terrorist?

Are there any Italians left in New York City? For that matter, are there any Americans?

This insanity is catching on all over the western world...a radical repudiation of America, and Western Values. I wonder if Obama and the elites are behind this?

How about removing that big statue in the harbor. As shown by the recent mayoral elections, New Yorkers want nothing to do with Liberty.

Historically, the KKK is a creation of the democratic party.

So, if it’s okay to eradicate the history of the confederacy, which no longer exists and no longer matters, THEN, we should be doing the same with everything that relates to the democratic party, because, they are the ones that fought to keep slavery and they’re the ones that created the KKK. It’s just as logical as eliminating everything to do with the confederacy and their monuments and statues and history. The democrats’ history is just as racist, and in fact, a lot more, since, they’re more associated with the confederacy than republicans or conservatives. And, it should not matter how much time has passed, since to democrats it doesn’t matter how much time has passed since the civil war and the confederacy.

If DiBlasio wants to properly signal his virtue he will need to burn the entire city to the ground:

Da boys on Mulberry Street won’t take kindly to the idea of removing Columbus...might even make book on Wilhelms longevity.

Upper West Side will not be happy. Columbus Circle is iconic.

Does everyone know that it was Trump who took care of General Sherman for a long time?
