Dennis Reacts To Kamala's 2023 Columbus Day Remarks

Now you guys have told me that Kamala Harris last year issued a statement on Columbus Day. Is that correct? So let's hear it. I have not heard this, so I'm taking your word for it that it's worth hearing.

It is an honor, of course, to be with you this week as we celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day, as we speak truth about our nation's history. Since Since 1934, every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of the European explorers who first landed on the shores of the Americas. But that is not the whole story. That has never been the whole story. Those explorers ushered in a wave of devastation for tribal nations. Perpetrating violence, stealing land, and spreading disease. We must not shy away from this shameful past, and we must shed light on it and do everything we can to address the impact of the past on Native communities today.

Okay. There are two issues here if you want to be intellectually and morally earnest. One issue is the devastation visited upon the native peoples to the Americas by Europeans coming, and the other is that Western civilization, the highest moral form of civilization ever devised, made its, uh, made, made its way to the Western Hemisphere. She wants us to be honest about the past. Okay, that's honest. With truly meant with great respect, the indigenous peoples of, of the Western Hemisphere, whether in North or South America or Central America, did not develop medicine, did not develop math, did not produce Shakespeare, that did not create women's rights, equality, a constitution, or even a written language. When Saul Bellow The great author who— didn't he win a Nobel Prize for literature? Saul Bellow said that about Western civilization. He said, where is the Camus of Central Africa or something to that effect? He was called a racist then. That was probably the 1970s. That's right. You see, the squelching of honest dialogue is one of the most important characteristics of all leftism. So it's a gigantic lie. Oh, let's confront the past honestly. Then confront the past honestly. What was done to Native Americans must be honestly addressed, and the superiority of Western civilization needs to be honestly addressed. But she would never do that. The whole left is a lie. It's gigantic. It's an enormous lie. This is just another example of it. They don't want to address the honesty of the past. If you're honest, you're called a racist, sexist, and all the other names. So all they know is colonialism is bad. That's all they know. That is what they know. In other words, it's not even a mixed bag, but it is a mixed bag. India suffered colonialism and India benefited immensely from colonialism. The only reason people in India can talk to each other across this gigantic subcontinent, as it is called, is thanks to the Brits bringing English. That's how somebody in West Bengal can speak to somebody in in Trivandrum. That's the way it works. They have a judicial system. They ended sati, widows throwing themselves into the funeral fires. Throwing themselves or being thrown out? No, I don't know if they were thrown. I think they jumped. They were— the society expected them to do it, but I don't think that they were actually thrown into the fire. They jumped into the fire, I believe. Yeah, the last thing that the, the, the left wants is an honest appraisal of the past. The last thing. What they want is an appraisal of the past that presents the West as despicable. Including America. That was— well, that's, that's what her statement was about.
