Candidate for Virginia lieutenant governor celebrates "Indigenous Peoples' Day" instead of Columbus Day (she's from India)

LOL.

Senator Hashmi @SenatorHashmi · Follow On this Indigenous Peoples' Day, we celebrate & honor the Indigenous nations that have contributed so much to the history, cultures, & communities of the Commonwealth & country. We also recognize the ongoing need for reconciliation, healing, and partnership.

Sen. Ghazala Hashmi is the running mate of Abigail Spanberger, the Virginia Democrat who wants to be governor and refuses to condemn her colleague who wished death upon his Republican opponent and his opponent's "fascist" children.

Using typical far-left rhetoric, Hashmi is celebrating "Indigenous People" on the holiday that marks Christopher Columbus' historical journey to the Americas.

The juxtaposition of the two holidays is meant to deny honor to Columbus. Within the leftwing framework of history, Columbus was a "colonizer" who ultimately paved the way for the tribes and kingdoms of the Americas to be unjustly conquered and their land stolen.

Ironically, Hashmi herself is not native to America. She is a Muslim from India; she is therefore a "colonizer" herself who lives on "stolen land." The only reason she is here is because of men like Columbus.

Her claim to the land is far less valid than Europeans who have been living in the Americas for 500 years ... men who signed many land purchase contracts and treaties with the native tribes.

Yet she wants to be the one to lecture Virginians about their own history?

I see this happening more and more and it’s very troubling. The more foreigners are here, the more get into politics and want to change the way we live and be like the sh!t hole they came from. Ilhan Omar, the Tlaib bitch, Mandami, and a hole bunch of others. Deport them!

This is why “Christian Nationalists” are so viciously attacked and equated with Nazis. They stand in the way of the destruction of the West.

“Indigenous People”

A rather Eurocentric term.

Including all those scumbag foreign born Rat judges that think they are POTUS. One of those judges is a Muslim Egyptian born and has duo Canada-US citizenship. Who do you think his loyalties are with. It sure as hell isn’t with the USA constitution.

It’s a parking meter that says one of the “meter holidays” is Indigenous People’s Day.

“Indigenous People”

Probably contributed to the extinction of wooly mammoths. They need to be condemned, not celebrated. Reparations are needed. /S
