Trump issues a Columbus Day proclamation to 'reclaim' the explorer's legacy

President Trump holds up a presidential proclamation for Columbus Day during a Cabinet meeting at the White House on Thursday.

President Trump said "left-wing radicals" have tried to tarnish Columbus' legacy, and the proclamation is a way to preserve it. Some experts say it's a way to erase the heritage of Native Americans.
