Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) denounced the presence of a statue honoring canonized saint Father Damien, who ministered to lepers and died of the dreaded disease, as a remnant of “white supremacist culture.”
In an Instagram story Thursday, in which the congresswoman took her followers on a tour of the U.S. Capitol building, she spoke about the lack of statues memorializing minority figures and referred to the images of America’s honored historical figures from all 50 states as a nod to colonialism.
“Even when we select figures to tell the stories of colonized places, it is the colonizers and settlers whose stories are told – and virtually no one else,” Ocasio-Cortez said, specifically pointing out Hawaii’s statue, that of Father Damien.

Everyone would rather be living in thatched huts and tepees now, right?
So now Sarah Winemucca is what, White?
The Paiutes would be surprised to hear that.
AOC could not pass remedial reading courses........
Is she descended from Hernando Cortez, the conquistador who destroyed the Aztec Empire?

“The injections became the most reliable way to help keep the disease under control until new drugs came available in the 1940s.”
Well the truth be told, her breed has not really done anything for America to warrant likenesses of them cast in bronze or sculpted in stone. Maybe when they contribute they will be recognized.
One thing for sure though, keep it up bitch and there will be enough spent brass to entomb you and your ilk in.
Father Damien went to Molokai the leper colony for Hawaii in the 1800s to minister to the lepers and died of leprosy himself...
To say such awful things about him is sick.....
I realize that Ms Cotex came to DC with a LOT of mental deficiencies.
BUT...Has anyone tested the water around there for the insanity virus?
Lots going around there...Hers got WORSE!
he is the poster child of the stupid and the dangers we face come November if we dont give trump a landslide victory
Someone needs to drop AOC off on Sentinel Island
Funny,how she never condemns the white supremacist culture of the congressional white democrat men and women....I guess having them help murder black america with Planned Parenthood is no big deal to AOC....
That woman is straight up demonic and bound to hell. Obviously she only cares about power and has every attitude of mocking salvation from perils. She is Epstein island material.
This is their new empowered health care: killing the unborn and those treating lepers. I think they are beyond mere antihypocratic Mengele who argued and pretended at least they were doing research. This is not even pretense of research but wholesale social agenda
I think she’s too stupid to be evil.
The Devil is extremely smart & cunning, not retarded like AOC.
All this bitch does is whine. Whine, whine, whine.
Is she on record saying anything positive?
Her last name is clearly offensive! Specially because she adopted it in her later life, clearly just to show her white supremacy and offend native Americans. She should go back to Sandy Ocasio.
AOC has got to be the most ignorant person in the world.
if white people hadn’t come to what is now North and South America, someone would have, most likely the Chinese. How well would have the Indians fared under their rule? Few if any Indians would have been left alive.
