But his mom had an Italian Grandparent making her 1/4 Italian.

She married a Cuban man and their child would be 1/8 Italian

Also, he is without a doubt an 8/8 sack of raisin fortified suet and nutmeat suitable for Canadian Blue Jays

Or is he “Italian” just because Columbus is controversial and he’s trying to trigger the libs?

Rafael Edward Cruz was born on December 22, 1970,[2][3] at Foothills Medical Centre[4][5] in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to Eleanor Elizabeth (née Darragh) Wilson and Rafael Cruz.[6][7][8][9] Eleanor Wilson was born in Wilmington, Delaware. She is of three-quarters Irish and one-quarter Italian descent, and earned an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Rice University in the 1950s.[10][11]

I hate it when politicians claim several states as their 'home states,' too. They'll claim every state they ever lived in or visited for a week as their home states. It's nauseating. Might as well claim several religions while they're at it.

As the old Albanian oven watcher at our local pizzeria might have said............

Lasciami in pace, stronzo! Non sei italiano più ch'io, ed io non lo sono!

(And Columbus probably wasn't either!)
