U.S. Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, triggered a wave of anger from online leftists with a simple Columbus Day post.<\/p>\n

On Monday, Gill was among those who celebrated publicly, much to the displeasure of those who abhor Christopher Columbus.<\/p>\n

Look:<\/p>\n

\n

Christopher Columbus is one of the great men of world history.<\/p>\n

Guided by faith in Christ, our European ancestors came to the New World, settled wild lands, and built western civilization.<\/p>\n

Our history and our culture are exceptional\u2013 and we\u2019re no longer apologizing for it. https:\/\/t.co\/Fi3iBoVAZy<\/p>\n

\u201cChristopher Columbus is one of the great men of world history. Guided by faith in Christ, our European ancestors came to the New World, settled wild lands, and built western civilization. Our history and our culture are exceptional\u2013 and we\u2019re no longer apologizing for it,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

It took no time at all for the responses to come in:<\/p>\n

\n

We can celebrate western civilization and the incredible nation we built without acting like Columbus was some flawless saint, because blindly worshipping historical figures instead of looking at the hard facts is just lazy patriotis<\/p>\n

Who the flying F was apologizing for it to begin with retard? Come election time all you fake culture warriors start beating the drum of \u201cwestern civilization\u201c. We all know that it is the civilization that built the modern world and nobody has ever apologized for it except in\u2026<\/p>\n

Really?<\/p>\n

No shit!<\/p>\n

Columbus was not a nice guy.<\/p>\n

Read Historia de las Indias (History of the Indies) by Bishop Bartolom\u00e9 de las Casas. He reported that Columbus was overcome by greed, which blinded him to Christian ethics when dealing with Native Americans.<\/p>\n

De las Casas held\u2026<\/p>\n

Italians, Spaniards put up a statue to Columbus, live in \u201clittle Italies\u201d and we give them a holiday and applaud.<\/p>\n

Other cultures celebrate their heroes and you say they are not assimilating and not \u201creal Americans\u201d. Make up your damn mind.<\/p>\n

Hah not having quite the response you were hoping for Brandon? No one has accused you of being intelligent, but you just keep fueling the fire.<\/p>\n

Lol
\nYou, evidently, think that the Disney-fied version is reality.<\/p>\n

But it makes sense because you have the mind of a child.<\/p>\n

Read a current history book. Dummy.<\/p>\n
