There's a legit and a commie interpretation.

The legit one says that others crossed the Atlantic first, which is true. Here's a video on the Vikings, who definitely settled Greenland and may have frittered about in Canada:

Amusingly enough, the Vikings left Greenland at the end of the Medieval Warm Period, which is something "climate scientists" try to erase from the record in order to prove the global warming hoax.

(There's also St Brendan and other semi-mythical discoverers pre-Columbus, but the evidence for them is scant.)

The commie version is that the Americas were already discovered by the peaceful LGBTQ natives with their Green New Deals and peaceful protests etc., and Columbus merely introduced toxic masculinity and so forth.

Here's a debunking of that nonsense:

Technically, Columbus never stepped foot on the actual North American continent.

No matter, the strategy of the Columbus Mission was to “prove” to the Muslims in Spain that God and Jesus was the true God. The New World discovery was a demoralizing factor. Records indicate that Columbus himself was in attendance when the Muslim Prince kissed the ring as part of the surrender.

The Vikings definitely made it along the Ohio River and had presence up the Great Miami River. Probably trade presence.

The DNA of the true Miami (Ohio) Indians should be studied for Viking influence.

There used to be talk of blue-eyed Eskimos of Viking origin:

Contemporary scientists deny it but they would wouldn't they.

Not all but a lot of them were very petty and fought wars over a simple bead. Some tribes were bloody savage others were nice but they were living like it was the stone age.
