De Blasio jeered at parade

A TORRENT OF boos rained down on Mayor de Blasio as he walked in the Columbus Day Parade in Midtown on Monday.

Some New Yorkers at the celebration of the city’s Italian-American heritage were irate that de Blasio is considering removing the iconic statue of Christopher Columbus at Columbus Circle, and let him hear it.

Outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a man wore a “Not My Mayor” shirt. A woman alongside him yelled to the mayor, “Hey, over here,” adding an obscenity in Italian

Another man yelled, “Save the statue, or you’re German!”

A red-carpeted stretch of Fifth Ave. in the 60s, packed with people, also greeted de Blasio with a chorus of boos.

“Maybe we should just keep going,” an aide to de Blasio said. He did not stop.

Gov. Cuomo — who’s been outspoken in his support of the statue — got a warmer reception from the crowds.

He told reporters beforehand the day shouldn’t be a choice between honoring the Italian explorer or Native Americans.

“It’s not an either/or — it’s both,” Cuomo said. “Of course, we should honor the indigenous people. They were abused by many leaders.”

Columbus has been under fire because of atrocities against natives that he ordered when he was the governor of the island of Hispaniola — modern-day Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Cuomo, who is Italian-American, said Native Americans suffered most at the hands of the federal government.

“The No. 1 abuser of the indigenous people in this country was our federal government,” he said.

“You want to talk about Columbus, 1492? How about our federal government. How about the Trail of Tears 1830s to the ’60s? How about massacring the Native Americans in this country because we wanted the land and then sticking them on reservations?”

Cuomo received praise from Angelo Vivolo, head of the Columbus Citizens Foundation, who took a not-so-subtle shot at de Blasio.

“Andrew Cuomo, our great governor, has been a tremendous supporter of our community, his Italian heritage and culture, someone who stands up for us,” he said.

“We can’t thank him enough

Monday’s Columbus Day Parade saw colorful participants seemingly step from out of the 15th century, along with controversy (inset below) over statue (right) of the holiday’s main man.
