The Trump campaign slammed Vice President Kamala Harris’ previous comments supporting renaming Columbus Day « Indigenous People’s Day, » in exclusive comment to Fox Digital.
The Trump campaign slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly wanting to « cancel American traditions », citing her 2019 comments supporting efforts to rename Columbus Day to Indigenous People’s Day.
« Kamala Harris is your stereotypical leftist. Not only does she want to raise taxes and defund the police – she also wants to cancel American traditions like Columbus Day », Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt exclusively told Fox News Digital.
« President Trump will make sure Christopher Columbus’ great legacy is honored and protect this holiday from radical leftists who want to erase our nation’s history like Kamala Harris. »
Leavitt was referring to Harris’ 2019 comments when she spoke to voters in New Hampshire about a month after launching her ultimately failed 2020 bid for the White House.
« Count me in on support », Harris told a voter when asked if she supports renaming Columbus Day « Indigenous People’s Day », footage of the event shows.
Harris cited recent legislation she helped author that makes lynching a federal crime as she delivered her response to the New Hampshire voter.
