US vice president Kamala Harris urged the country to reflect on its historical truths, especially the destruction caused by European explorers, in a statement to mark Indigenous Peoples ‘ Day. Harris highlighted the need to fight the unpleasant aspects of America’s history, saying,” European explorers ushered in a flood of disaster, violence, stealing land, and common disease”.
As part of the monthly October adherence, which began in 1934 to accept the voyage of Europeans to America, Harris pointed out that this tale is far from perfect. She emphasized the effects of colonization on indigenous populations, saying,” We had not shy away from this terrible history, we may shed light on it, and we must do everything we can to address the impact of the previous on indigenous communities today.”
Harris ‘ notes, intended to restructure the nationwide narrative around Columbus Day, sparked responses from senator JD Vance, a prominent Republican, who took to X to denounce the Vice President’s remarks and the Democratic Party’s method to voters.
Vance posted on X that” 20 percent of Latinos and 26 percent of Black electors” think the economy is good or exemplary, but the Democrats “go around hectoring” that anyone who does n’t voting for Kamala is a sexist. He continued, claiming that because “he’s listening to voters rather than lecturing them, past president Donald Trump is gaining popularity.”
Harris ‘ support of efforts to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples ‘ Day was further criticized by the Trump campaign, accusing her of wanting to” cancel American traditions,” as per the New York Post. Karoline Leavitt, the campaign’s national press secretary, claimed Harris ‘ goal was to “eliminate the nation’s history,” in contrast to Donald Trump’s pledge to honor Christopher Columbus ‘ legacy. Harris ‘ 2019 comments in New Hampshire, where she endorsed renaming the trip and stressed the need for sincerity about the country’s past, including its treatment of servitude and indigenous populations, are the source of the criticism.
