An Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez protégé running for Congress supports removing the Christopher Columbus statue from Columbus Circle — which may be a big problem for the district she wants to represent.
Brittany Ramos DeBarros is seeking to rep New York’s 11th Congressional District, which encompasses all of Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn — and is home to one of the largest Italian-American communities in the country.

What's she doing? NY CD11 would never elect her.
That area is likely to be an Italian Republican.
Lotta lipstick on that pig. And I don’t mean fat!
and I think it would be ideal to replace it with some kind of…….
There’s the problem. Thinking she’s smart.
Isn’t she the waitress that keeps getting the drink orders wrong?
Don’t get fooled by the package, most mentally ill parasites of the socialist rat party are fugly, pretty package with an ugly personality unless you agree with her
I thought she looks rather evil.
By the way, one of Trump's towers is located on the Columbus Circle, which is bounded on the north by Central Park. That's probably what set her and AOC off. It's the dark-tinted glass tower, with a wire sculpture of the world in front of it:
