Vice President Kamala Harris’ past statements in support of renaming Columbus Day resurfaced Monday, prompting the Trump campaign and others to accuse her of trying to “cancel American traditions.”
During the Democratic nominee’s failed 2020 presidential campaign and vice presidential tenure, she repeatedly said in public remarks that she was supportive of labeling the federal holiday “Indigenous Peoples’ Day.”
“Count me in,” Harris told a voter who asked during a February 2019 campaign stop in Portsmouth, NH, whether she would change the name of the day via federal law.
“People did not want to deal and accept and, most importantly, admit that we are the scene of a crime when it comes to what we did with slavery and Jim Crow and institutionalized racism in this country, and we have to be honest about that,” Harris said at the time.
Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for tribal nations — perpetrating violence, stealing land and spreading disease,” Harris chided. “We must not shy away from this shameful past. And we must shed light on it and do everything we can to address the impact of the past on native communities today.”
The Trump campaign in a press release claimed the vice president has “exclusively celebrated Indigenous Peoples’ Day over Columbus Day each year she has been in the office” on her X account.
“Kamala Harris is your stereotypical leftist. Not only does she want to raise taxes and defund the police — she also wants to cancel American traditions like Columbus Day,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in a statement referencing Harris’ 2019 comments.
“President Trump will make sure Christopher Columbus’ great legacy is honored and protect this holiday from radical leftists who want to erase our nation’s history like Kamala Harris.”

Well, that confirms that she is an anti-Semite.
Probably an anti-dentite also.
Now that Colombus is a Spanish Jew, she is both anti hispanic and anti semitic. She’s also a chooch.
Now we know she is a Jew hater for sure. Maggots like her cause “white dudes” like Columbus to keep their religion a big secret.
Or a whole month of rainbow butt warriors...
It’s hilarious to see every insipid utterance she has ever made being thrown back in her face.
She’s hit the trifecta: anti-Catholic, anti-hispanic, and anti-semitic ... all in one
Funny how they’re talking about Harris’ turnout machine, when in fact she couldn’t win one delegate during the dismally weak 2020 DEM primaries. How much did she spend in the primaries in 2020?
WAIT WHAT????!
I thought that Juneteenth was the celebration of the day that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were EXECUTED for passing nuclear secrets to the Soviets.
Have I been celebrating the wrong holiday meaning?
How about we rename Kamala a talking mannequin???
This video is trending on twitter and she’s getting hammered. Even black people- or people who seems to be black based on their avatar, are hammering her.
“[Socialist Democrats] did not want to deal and accept and, most importantly, admit that we are the scene of a crime when it comes to what we did with slavery and Jim Crow and institutionalized racism in this country, and we have to be honest about that,” Harris said at the time.
Fixed!
Yes, Juneteenth celebrates the executions of the Rosenbergs.
It is the American version of Guy Fawkes Day.
Mustn't forget anti-Italian too.
I celebrate Guy Fawkes Day in honor of the man’s valiant, if unsuccessful, attempt to effect necessary changes in government. Unlike most, he entered Parliament with honest intentions.
DNA Test Reveals Christopher Columbus Was a Spanish Jew
Looks like Kamala not on hates Hispanics, but is anti-semitic too.
Today is COLUMBUS day—NOT the bogus, revisionist “indigenous people’s day”!
Latinos celebrate Columbus Day as “Dia de la Raza”!
Columbus was a great and heroic explorer, and made the nations of the New World possible! He is a hero for Greeks, Italians, Jews, Christians, Latinos, and all Americans!
“Indigenous people’s day” is promoted by leftist freaks like kamala, obama, and hillary. Even Native Americans ignore it!
When—Lord willing—we return Donald Trump to the White House, he will return the celebration of Columbus Day, and send “indigenous day” into the garbage heap of history!
CC set sail for the Far East 39 years after the Ottoman Empire conquered Constantinople.
My understanding is that European access to the Far East via the Silk Road was essentially cut off by the Muslims. That was the motivation for searching for a maritime route to the west.
