Yep. In the article she writes about, they say between 1492 and 1600, 50 million indigenous people were murdered by colonists or killed by diseases they carried.

Does she actually KNOW this as a fact, or did she just pull it out of her butt?

She was referencing a study, but in the parts she referenced, it is pretty clear the authors of the study were making "estimates":

"...So the new study offers a different method: the researchers divided up North and South America into 119 regions and combed through all published estimates of pre-Columbian populations in each one. In doing so, authors calculated that about 60.5 million people lived in the Americas prior to European contact..."

Sounds like nearly every anthropogenic global warming estimate I have ever seen, which means it isn't worth a cup of warm spit.

These crazy people believe these things.

There weren’t 50 million people to kill even if they wanted to.

The leftists have zero idea about math, amounts, history, logic.

It’s very scary.
