Columbus vs. Hollywood
Summary
Anthony Cumia hosts a special edition of The Stone Zone, defending Christopher Columbus and criticizing Hollywood figures who label him a villain. He then shifts focus to the FBI raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home, arguing the investigation into her immigration paperwork and financial discrepancies is legitimate rather than political persecution. Cumia also highlights the Somali community’s alleged welfare fraud in Minneapolis and condemns New York’s sanctuary city policies for releasing convicted felons without notifying ICE.
