C'mon. Does anyone -- I mean literally, any humans at all -- actually believe this?
A coalition of 40 Italian-American groups ripped socialist Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani as a hater and divider for wanting to take down statues honoring explorer Christopher Columbus.
The Mafia had the same script when they were manipulating congressional committees in the last century. It's an old playbook.
No self respecting Italian-American would use the word "hate" when talking about a stupid opinion post.
lol
😂
I'm Italian. My people are really fucking right-wing these days.
People in Ohio.
As someone whose family still does seven fishes for Christmas Eve I believe I am qualified to say keep it up Zohran.
Looks like so-called "Italian Americans" only support identity politics when it comes to them.
Lori Lightfoot, claimant to the biggest dick in Chicago, can attest that this in fact something people think
Cuomo has been busy I see
The more they hate him, the more I like him
What more can they do to ensure a Mamdani victory?
90 days until the election. Cuomo & Adams and their supporters are going to be like cornered, wounded animals.
They are scared shitless of this guy that is running for fcking mayor of NYC. Mayor...
Angelo Vivolo, friend and appointee of Andrew Cuomo… nypost.com/2021/06/06/c...
Angelo Vivolo, 74, a retired restaurateur and prominent local Italian-American leader — will be interviewed during scheduled board confirmation hearings Monday.
As an italian, even if this were true, I would be okay with it as Columbus was not the first to discover America and colonization isn’t something to be proud of.
It’s in the New York Post, so it isn’t really intended for human consumption, and isn’t meant to convince anyone.
Same vibe.
🙄
OFFS. They are scared to death of this man!
The readers of the NY Post will. That's all that matters.
Silvio Dante writing for the NY Post now.
Dude who thought he arrived at his destination (he didn't) and who brought misery and death to people living there, somehow gets celebrated by some people. Columbus thought he had landed in the East Indies. Trump just put a 15% tax on stuff from Italy. Some Trump donors support Cuomo.
"Columbus took and gifted Taíno women to his crewmen, who would violently beat and rape them.", "Columbus established a business in the sale of 9- and 10-year-old Taíno girls for sexual slavery." grist.org/politics/her... People who are pro-pedo hate Mamdani, excellent for Mamdani.
Need a quick brushup on exactly why so many people in the U.S. have turned against Columbus Day? Here you go.
Mamdani needs to trot out some Southern Italian organization that will come to his Anti-Columbus defense, like he got the progressive Jewish orgs to defend him against the antisemitic charges.
Of course not. It's absurd.
He should run a super racist anti-Italian campaign, that would be so funny.
They do look under every pebble for their nonsense.
They lost me at "heritage," which is a word only racists use.
@nypost.com Christopher Columbus and his crew enslaved indigenous people and raped indigenous girls as young as 9 years old. Why have a monument to a rapist? We can acknowledge the history and uplift the culture of Italian Americans without glorifying human rights violators and rapists of the past.
"40 ital-american groups" = Cuomo’s relatives
