An Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez protégé running for Congress supports removing the Christopher Columbus statue from Columbus Circle — which may be a big problem for the district she wants to represent.

Brittany Ramos DeBarros is seeking to rep New York’s 11th Congressional District, which encompasses all of Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn — and is home to one of the largest Italian-American communities in the country.

“It’s not in my district, so it wouldn’t be a top priority for me in Congress. but I support removing [the Columbus monument in Columbus Circle] and I think it would be ideal to replace it with some kind of tribute to the Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island or the Lenape people specifically,” DeBarros wrote in an endorsement questionnaire from the Jim Owles Liberal LGBT Democratic Club.

The club asked the question, among others, of political candidates seeking its endorsement.

As with AOC, DeBarros, a military veteran, is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.

The good old days would have seen her receive visitors from Besonhurst where they would make her an offer she could not refuse.

article: "Indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island or the Lenape people"

OK, here's the deal. If these folks agree to cut off their electricity and plumbing, hand in their cell phones and flat screen TVs, and refrigerators, and automobiles and mopeds and air conditioning, and designer sport shoes, and modern medicine, then it's a deal.

What's she doing? NY CD11 would never elect her.

That area is likely to be an Italian Republican.

That's idiotic. It's a beautiful statue and a monument to a long-ago age of exploration as much as to one man. There are three sets of maritime symbols incorporated into the pedestal. She is weak-minded. It's as if none of her Spanish or Indian forbearers ever committed any atrocities.

By the way, one of Trump's towers is located on the Columbus Circle, which is bounded on the north by Central Park. That's probably what set her and AOC off. It's the dark-tinted glass tower, with a wire sculpture of the world in front of it:
