I deleted my tweet screen grab of Anthony from "The Sopranos" reading Howard Zinn's chapter on Columbus from PHOTUS because I didn't setup that my joke wasn't "The Sopranos are a crime family, gotcha!" but referencing what that episode explores in @BobHoldenNYC's logic.

Of course Italian Americans should celebrate their heritage but the argument that not honoring Columbus negates that is absolutely insane. @BobHoldenNYC knows this but also knows his conservative base will go crazy for it much like his other fear and hate mongering social posts.

This is what I'm commenting on specifically in this thread from a self proclaimed "Life Long Democrat".
" @BobHoldenNYC called the DOE’s elimination of Columbus Day 'a disgraceful insult to people of Italian American heritage.'" https://nypost.com/2021/05/04/nyc-schools-drop-columbus-for-indigenous-day-add-juneteenth/
