RUSH EXCERPT:
PISCOPO: "I am such a proud Italian-American. I think of my grandparents coming over here from Italy. Learning the laws, language of the United States of America. Being proud Americans. My parents and grand parents always said this is America, the greatest country on planet Earth. Learn it, live it, be proud to be an American. Italian-Americans — tucker, they work so hard. They’ve been prejudiced against and all we did was become doctors and lawyers and businesspeople and engineers and architects. We’ve given so much to this country. I’m telling you, that statue in Columbus circle, it ain’t coming down. We are not going down and neither is that statue."
