Fox’s Dana Perino grills Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong over democratic socialism
Hong said she no longer supports defunding police or abolishing the Senate as she tries to steady her Wisconsin governor campaign.
- On Fox News, Democratic Socialist candidate Hong addressed her past 'defund the police' rhetoric, entering the August 11 primary as the front-runner after former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes exited the race on Thursday.
- In 2020 social media posts, Hong called to 'defund the police' as a first step toward 'abolishing the police.' She has since stated she is 'not running to defund the police' and cannot do so as governor.
- When asked by Perino about her DSA membership, Hong noted she has been a member of the Madison chapter since 2020. She also clarified she no longer supports abolishing the Senate or the Supreme Court.
- A Marquette University Law School poll from earlier this month found Rep. Tom Tiffany holds 43 percent support, compared to 40 percent for Hong, in the race to replace Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
- The Cook Political Report rates the Wis gubernatorial race as a 'toss Up.' Hong emphasizes her identity as a 'service industry worker' and 'good single mom' focused on legislation that helps everyone.
