The relentless assault on American traditions has reached a new low as liberal media personalities now target the very name of our nation. Sound ridiculous? Welcome to the modern left’s latest crusade against our heritage.
In an era where woke ideology increasingly dominates mainstream media, traditional patriotic values face daily challenges from coastal elites who seem determined to rewrite history through their progressive lens. When did celebrating American identity become controversial?
For those of us who still believe in American exceptionalism, what just happened on The View is both shocking and sadly predictable.
On Thursday’s episode of the woke ABC talk show, co-host Joy Behar launched into an astonishing rant questioning why America bears its current name. She ended up revealing just how far the left will go to undermine national pride.
“This country that we’re in was settled by indigenous people, right?” Behar began. “And yet they named the country after an Italian White man, Amerigo Vespucci.”
“That’s what America is named after, Amerigo Vespucci, a White European,” she continued. “Why was it named after a White man if it was settled by indigenous people?”
You truly can’t make this stuff up.
ANTI-AMERICANISM
Joy Behar RAGES at America being named for a white man:

The Latest Attack on American Identity
Behar’s comments came during a discussion about President Donald Trump’s recent executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Apparently, even reasonable attempts to celebrate American identity now trigger an immediate backlash from the left.
While co-host Sara Haines attempted to provide context about the common practice of waters having different names depending on the nation, Behar quickly shifted the conversation to attack American traditions instead. Patriots know the truth: our heritage isn’t up for debate.
The timing of these remarks is particularly telling. Indeed, it comes amid growing conservative success in protecting American cultural heritage under President Trump’s second term.
This isn’t the first time Behar has used her platform to undermine traditional American values. According to the Daily Mail’s extensive coverage, the liberal host has established a concerning pattern of such commentary. She regularly targets conservative principles and patriotic traditions.
The irony should be lost on no one. Here’s a wealthy television personality enjoying the freedoms and opportunities provided by American democracy while simultaneously attacking its very foundations.
Historical scholars note that America’s naming after Amerigo Vespucci reflects the complex tapestry of our nation’s founding – a story of exploration, discovery, and the building of a new nation that would become the world’s greatest defender of liberty.
Standing Strong for American Values
President Trump’s administration has taken a firm stance against such attempts to rewrite American history. The White House’s recent actions, including the Gulf of America executive order and subsequent Associated Press restrictions, demonstrate a commitment to celebrating rather than apologizing for American heritage.
Conservative leaders across the country have rallied to defend America’s name and heritage. They recognize that these attacks represent more than mere complaints about historical naming conventions. They also reveal a deeper agenda to fundamentally transform American identity.
As patriots face this latest challenge to our national heritage, one thing becomes crystal clear: the left’s campaign to deconstruct American traditions knows no bounds. From attacking historical monuments to questioning our very name, their agenda threatens the foundational elements of American identity.
True conservatives understand that preserving our national heritage isn’t about denying history – it’s about protecting the very essence of what makes America exceptional. The time for standing firm in defense of our values isn’t tomorrow – it’s today.
