Get this: The priest AOC attacked as a colonizer, Fr. Damien, was--for his sacrificial work on behalf of the unfortunate Hawaiian natives--bestowed with the highest honors by the very Queen AOC said was dishonored by Fr. Damien's statue. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/father-damien-ministered-to-native-hawaiians-in-a-leper-colony-now-aoc-calls-him-a-colonizer
The statue of Fr. Damien that AOC held up as a totem of white supremacy was made by an immigrant, feminist, woman, artist of color who used an unusual style that borrowed from natives' totem poles. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/father-damien-ministered-to-native-hawaiians-in-a-leper-colony-now-aoc-calls-him-a-colonizer
Fr. Damien was no "colonizer" in Hawaii. He was from Belgium, yes. But he came not with a government, but with a holy order of nuns and priests. He was welcomed and honored by the native Queen. He gave his life to serve the most destitute of of the natives https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/father-damien-ministered-to-native-hawaiians-in-a-leper-colony-now-aoc-calls-him-a-colonizer
...So when AOC calls Fr. Damien a "colonizer" who doesn't deserve honors from the state of Hawaii, she is attacking him for being born outside of Hawaii before coming there to live out his life. In other words, she's attacking him for being an immigrant. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/father-damien-ministered-to-native-hawaiians-in-a-leper-colony-now-aoc-calls-him-a-colonizer
