Len Berman and Michael Riedel talked with New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, about woke people trying to get rid of Columbus Day.
Paladino explained, “to hold Columbus responsible for things that happened over 500 years ago is ridiculous, this is 2024 and behavior from then would not be tolerated today. The question now is how far do we let this go? We cannot allow our history to be erased. Look, we’ve learned through our history how to become the great country we are. We’ve allowed immigrants to pour over our border for nearly four years, but we can’t celebrate people like my grandparents who came over legally and made a life for themselves. Why are they trying to take away the pride Italians feel on Columbus Day? It’s time to stand up for what we believe in and fight back.”
