Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) singled out a statue of Father Damien, a Catholic priest who ministered to a Hawaiian leper colony, as an example of “white supremacist culture.”
Father Damien, born Jozef de Veuster in Belgium, arrived in Hawaii in 1864 when the islands were an independent kingdom. The priest conducted missionary work on the islands and for the last 16 years of his life ministered to a leper colony, until he died after contracting leprosy himself. A statue of Father Damien stands in the U.S. Capitol.
“It’s not Queen Lili’uokalani…the only Queen Regnant of Hawaii, who is immortalized and whose story is told. It is Father Damien,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in a Facebook story in which she lamented the absence of statues of female figures in the Capitol. “This is what patriarchy and white supremacist culture looks like!” In addition to Father Damien, the Capitol houses a statue of King Kamehameha I, who united the Hawaiian islands under one kingdom by 1810.

Toxically stupid person, for sure.
this is the same bitch that cried in agony over an empty parking lot..such an ass..
Btt
I don’t see her as having skin in the game like Father Damien
Looks like she has gotten implants.
AOC has got such a narrow mind, when she walks fast her earrings bang together.
And stupid Catholics will vote for her. Hell. I’d bet the Pope would vote for her.
+Fr. Damien was most definitely a “white Martyr”.
May his Memory be Eternal!
AOC just can’t stand it that anyone has any religion other than her fascist Marxism. I wish people would wake up and realize what a demon she is. A demon that’s bent on the destruction of everything America holds dear.
IGNORAMUS ELECTED BY OTHER IGNORAMUSSES!
‘It’s like all the Jews voting for rats.’
or, for that matter matter, mainline Protestants...for the most part, though, it divides along gender lines...
Father Damian did more in one day then this satanic mutt has ever done toore the world a better place.
Dumbest bitch in the world.
Dumb, but dangerous, not a good combination.
“It’s not Queen Lili’uokalani…the only Queen Regnant of Hawaii...”
But the choice of statuary is Hawai’i’s not some freshman rep from the Bronx.
I can guess what King Kamehameha, who I assume is ok with AOC since he’s a person of color, would do with that spear he is holding.
That makes my blood boil.
I’d you stand close enough to her you can hear the ocean.
AOC belongs behind a bar in a taqueria, SERVING drinks!!!!
