Portland rioters topple Abe Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt statues in 'day of rage' against Columbus Day

Rioters in Portland, Oregon, toppled statues of former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln Sunday night, declaring a "day of rage" in anticipation of Columbus Day.

According to the Associated Press, the rioters assembled for "Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage," referring to "Indigenous Peoples Day," an alternative holiday to Columbus Day favored by progressive activists who accuse famous Italian explorer Christopher Columbus of committing acts of genocide against Native Americans.

The AP noted that President Roosevelt "expressed hostility towards Native Americans, once saying: 'I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of every 10 are.'"
