“The most controversial federal holiday of all of them, is Columbus Day. Here’s how you know Columbus Day isn’t so hot any more – there’s no Google Doodle for it. Monday was also Indigenous Peoples’ Day, which is what it should be, probably. But we have to pick one or the other, right? This is like saying it’s Arbor Day and Chainsaw Day. It can’t be both.” —Jimmy Kimmel
“Christopher Columbus was by all accounts a cruel and terrible, self-serving person, who had one job: to get to India. He missed it by 9,000 miles, but rather than admit he was wrong and not in India, he just started calling everyone Indians, which is so willfully ignorant. If he were alive today, he could probably run the Republican party. If you’re being honest with yourself, Christopher Columbus is basically what would have happened if Donald Trump had been born in the 1400s and his dad gave him a boat.” —Jimmy Kimmel
