White House Adds Christopher Columbus Statue Using Pieces From Destroyed Baltimore Sculpture
“In this White House, Christopher Columbus is a hero, and President Trump will ensure he’s honored as such for generations to come.”
The White House installed a Christopher Columbus statue on the grounds, built from the one destroyed in Baltimore in 2020.
The statue sits outside the Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
“In this White House, Christopher Columbus is a hero, and President Trump will ensure he’s honored as such for generations to come,” stated Davis Ingle, a White House spokesman.

Trump has now installed the Christopher Columbus statue on the White House’s grounds.
He ended up putting it outside the EEOB building, per our photos snapped today. https://t.co/tBR9WvQaXu pic.twitter.com/1VaMVsUTdm

According to The New York Post, the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations commissioned the statue, “and is part of the White House’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.”
“We are delighted the statue has found a place where it can peacefully shine and be protected,” said John Pica, a Maryland lobbyist and president of the Italian American Organizations United, reported by the Associated Press.
The far-left targeted Columbus in 2020 over George Floyd:
Many of the monuments celebrating the explorer, including the one that was once in Baltimore, were donated by Italian American groups in the 19th and 20th centuries. President Ronald Reagan spoke at the dedication ceremony for Baltimore’s statue in 1984.
On Independence Day in 2020, protesters pulled down that statue with ropes and threw it into the harbor. Upset by the statue’s destruction, Tilghman Hemsley, a local painter, sculptor and fisherman, assembled a team of divers to retrieve it. His son, Will Hemsley, then used scans of the salvaged pieces to create a replica — a project that received $30,000 from the National Endowment for the Humanities during Mr. Trump’s first term.
“This is Columbus making his comeback from the darkest days that existed five to six years ago,” boasted Basil Russo, the leader of the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations.

Excellent news.
This is marvelous! It sends so many messages.
A finger stuck in the eyes of the green-hair set.
They should put some of these statues the democrats tore down around the white house ballroom when it is completed. Not the ones of confederacy luminaries but there were others taken down.
they need to add a statue showing a blk african selling another blk person to whts as thats how it all really happened
Just be aware that for the next three years, this will be a high-priority violence target of the Left. They will tag it and broadcast the photos, attack it with sledgehammers, try to pull it over, etc… And when the criminals are dragged into court, the same judges who slammed the cell doors on every J6 defendant and the same juries who made sure their outrageous sentences were approved will promptly make a 180 degree turn on the law and try their best to set them free.
How will they be dragged into Court if no one arrests or charges them? As seen in the 2020 video, plenty of criminals destroyed works of art on live tv and few, if any, were called to account.
“saying Italian Americans should ‘remember’ his efforts when they go vote.”
He should’ve just said “white males.” It’s the naked truth about why it was pulled down, he knows it, and we know it.
Awakening the Great Eagle… to pluck out the WOKE diatribe cadre from amongst the throngs of Great American Citizens!
Can’t wait to see what he does with Cesar Chavez.
