The Christopher Columbus memorial in Bethlehem, PA’s Rose Garden is getting a new home. City council voted 6-1 June 15 to approve an agreement to lease the memorial to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Allentown, which will place the monument at the Holy Savior Cemetery at 2575 Linden St. in Bethlehem.
Councilperson Bryan Callahan voted against the move.
“I voted against the move because my Italian-American father-in-law would have rolled over in his grave,” said Callahan in an interview.
The move was recommended by a task force appointed by democrat Mayor Robert Donchez to recommend “what to do with the monument, according to Alex Karras, the mayor’s chief of staff.
“We had reached out to a number of places such as DeSales (Catholic) University, Notre Dame Church, St. Francis Retreat and a number of other cemeteries and churches and nobody wanted to touch it.”
When asked why the Allentown Diocese accepted the memorial when other organizations had declined, Diocese spokesperson Paul Wirth sent the Press a statement:
“While the history of Columbus the man is being debated, the history of the Columbus monument in the Bethlehem Rose Garden is clear. It was presented to the citizens of the city by Italian Americans – many of whom belonged to parishes in Bethlehem – who are proud of their heritage and of their contributions to the community and the nation. The city requested that we provide an alternative location, and we agreed.”

President Trump said the other night that the WOKE mobsters will be coming after Thomas Jefferson and George Washington next.
The Confederate statues removal were a way to get squishy RINOs to surrender.
We are reaping the whirlwind.
The statue BS is also a distraction.
But I wonder what they will do when they run out statuary...
Ironic how the writers of the Sopranos HBO series could see this crap coming 20 years ago.
Doesn’t wokeness suck?
