Rep. Ayanna Pressley on Columbus Day: 'We Are All on Stolen Land'

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) issued a Columbus Day statement alerting Americans that “we are all on stolen land” and accusing Republicans of attempting to “whitewash American history.”

Instead of actually commemorating the federally-recognized Columbus Day — or saying nothing at all — the far-left “Squad” member took to social media to instead celebrate “ Indigenous Peoples Day,” which is not a federal holiday.

“Happy Indigenous People’s Day! We are all on stolen land,” Pressley wrote. “And while Republicans try to whitewash American history, we acknowledge our country’s role in inflicting trauma on our Indigenous neighbors.”

“We’ll keep celebrating their contributions, centering Native voices in our policymaking, & building a more just, equitable future,” she added.
