The Trump campaign slammed Vice President Kamala Harris for allegedly wanting to "cancel American traditions," citing her 2019 comments supporting efforts to rename Columbus Day to Indigenous People's Day.
"Kamala Harris is your stereotypical leftist. Not only does she want to raise taxes and defund the police – she also wants to cancel American traditions like Columbus Day," Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt exclusively told Fox News Digital.
"President Trump will make sure Christopher Columbus’ great legacy is honored and protect this holiday from radical leftists who want to erase our nation’s history like Kamala Harris."
Leavitt was referring to Harris’ 2019 comments when she spoke to voters in New Hampshire about a month after launching her ultimately failed 2020 bid for the White House.
