So many instances of rewriting history!

Eg: Columbus showed up to the Americas and the (white) European settlers created something. Hey Marco - you know there were indigenous peoples here first, right?

And of course he had to insert "religious right" doctrine - talking about godless Communists.

It was not a sophisticated speech. Marco is not a sophisticated man.
