Vice President Kamala Harris has doubled down on renaming Columbus Day using the left’s preferred “Indigenous Peoples Day” after her video of her previous use of the alternative phrase resurfaced during the Monday holiday.

“This Indigenous Peoples’ Day,” Harris, 59, wrote in a post on X. “I am thinking about the young Indigenous leaders I met in Arizona last week. I am counting on their leadership and looking forward to our partnership.”

Throughout the Democratic nominee’s unsuccessful 2020 presidential campaign and her time as vice president, she consistently expressed her support for designating the federal holiday as “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” in her public remarks.

“Count me in,” Harris told a voter who asked during a February 2019 campaign stop in Portsmouth, NH, if she’d consider officially changing the name of the federal holiday.

“People did not want to deal and accept and, most importantly, admit that we are the scene of a crime when it comes to what we did with slavery and Jim Crow and institutionalized racism in this country, and we have to be honest about that,” Harris said then.

“If we are not honest, we are not going to deal with the vestiges of all of that harm, and we are not going to correct course, and we are not going to be true to our values and morals,” she added.

“Similarly, when it comes to indigenous Americans, the indigenous people, there is a lot of work that we still have to do,” Harris noted further.

Meanwhile, the far-left like Harris have pushed to rename professional sports teams and consumer products over their perceived ‘racist’ portrayals of indigenous, Native American peoples. Their demands led the NFL’s Washington Redskins to be renamed the Washington Commanders; Major League Baseball to rename the Cleveland Indians the Cleveland Guardians; and led Land O’ Lakes to drop a long-featured Native American woman from its butter packaging.

In October 2021, Harris and President Biden’s administration became the first to officially declare Indigenous Peoples’ Day, a milestone the vice president commemorated with a speech at the National Congress of American Indians Conference.

“Every October, the United States has recognized the voyage of the European explorers who first landed on the shores of the Americas,” she said then. “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,” Harris lectured. “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.”

The Trump campaign in a press release claimed the vice president has “exclusively celebrated Indigenous Peoples’ Day over Columbus Day each year she has been in the office” on her X account.

“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 spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt noted in a statement referencing Harris’ 2019 comments, the New York Post reported.

“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.”

NNot all Democrats have denounced Columbus Day, which was first designated as a national holiday in 1934 to mark explorer Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the Americas in 1492.

On Monday, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is considering a run for mayor of New York City, marked the holiday as “a day that honors and celebrates Italian-American heritage and the many contributions of Italian-Americans to our country.
