Cuomo, de Blasio defend Columbus Day Parade

New York City's Columbus Day Parade went on despite the rain and the controversy surrounding this year's event. A fixture in the city since 1929, the parade honors explorer Christopher Columbus and Italian-American culture. Mayor Bill de Blasio said he marched with pride in the parade for his heritage. Gov. Andrew Cuomo also marched. He said he, too, is proud to be part of the parade.
