The district is named for Columbia, the female personification of the nation. Not named after Christopher Columbus. Can’t stand Boebert but if you’re going to correct her nonsense please get it correct.
Fucking hell, thank you. It took way, way too much scrolling to find this.
I'm thinking to myself, sure she is a stupid cunt, but maybe get your facts straight before posting so you don't get thrown in that same chum-filled bucket.
I'm actually kind of stunned at the number of Americans who have no idea who Columbia is.
Actually no, I'm not... But I am really sad about it.
This is bizzare pedantry. Yes, it's named after https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_(personification) , who is obviously named after Columbus. It's a cool fact thay Columbia is a thing, but it's incorrect to say it's not eponymous for Columbus.
