Washington Examiner Reports: Who doesn’t love Thanksgiving? Woke social media activists, apparently. Every time this great American holiday comes around, they reemerge to explain why Thanksgiving is “problematic."

In one TikTok video that received more than 400,000 views, a left-wing activist named Audrey Nicholas attempts to explain “why you shouldn’t celebrate Thanksgiving” by spinning a narrative about the “real” origins of the holiday.

“In 1637, the Pequot tribe was celebrating their green corn harvest,” she explains. “In early hours of the morning, English and Dutch mercenaries surrounded their tribe and demanded they come outside. The ones who did were clubbed to death and shot. The women and children who huddled in the longhouses afraid were burned alive.”

“The next day, the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony declared that day the day of Thanksgiving … that is the reason Native Americans associate Thanksgiving with massacre,” her TikTok screed concludes. “And when you celebrate it, you’re also celebrating those massacres.”

This isn’t a claim unique to one TikTokker. It’s been featured in countless popular TikTok videos and viral Facebook posts, and it has even been parroted by some ostensibly legitimate media outlets such as HuffPost and Time magazine.

There’s just one problem: it isn’t true.
