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& #39;s statue. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/father-damien-ministered-to-native-hawaiians-in-a-leper-colony-now-aoc-calls-him-a-colonizer">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/f...
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& #39; totem poles. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/father-damien-ministered-to-native-hawaiians-in-a-leper-colony-now-aoc-calls-him-a-colonizer">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/f...
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">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/f...
...So when AOC calls Fr. Damien a "colonizer" who doesn& #39;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& #39;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">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/f...
