A little known fact about Italian explorer Christopher Columbus is big tits sex video desithat, in 1492, after he sailed the ocean blue, he lived another 300-ish years and founded the United States of America.
This, I am forced to assume, is the belief of New York City Republican Mayoral Candidate Nicole Malliotakis, who on Wednesday called Columbus "the founder of our nation."
(This must also be how pizza came to be the national food of America, and why it is widely available in NYC. No one ever talks about that. Columbus loved pizza. Sometimes he picked off the pepperonis though. Cheese guy.)

In addition to believing Columbus is "the founder of our nation," Malliotakis believes his statue should stay. It's unclear whether her belief that the statue should stay is predicated on her belief that he founded the country.

Malliotakis saw the tweet from Wall Street Journalreporter Mara Gay, and the candidate was not terribly thrilled about it.

Unclear if she believes Columbus was a main character in said musical.
Yes? I retweeted what your said. That's not fake news.

True, I imagine learning that Columbus Day is not a celebration of our nation's single founder would alter one's celebratory habits a bit.
