Wisconsin governor candidate appears open to canceling Thanksgiving
Hong’s answer on CNN drew criticism after a Marquette University poll showed her leading the Democratic primary by 22 points.
- On Monday, Democrat Francesca Hong appeared on CNN and declined to directly answer whether she still supports her 2020 post demanding to "cancel Thanksgiving," instead stating "views can evolve."
- Hong, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, wrote in the now-deleted 2020 post that Americans should stop celebrating colonialism, referring to the holiday as the "original superspreader event that killed indigenous folx."
- A resurfaced 2019 post where Hong described anxiety at a Culver's restaurant added to scrutiny as Wisconsin voters prepare for the August 11 primary election.
- Former Obama adviser David Axelrod suggested "answers like these" hurt Democratic chances, while Republican candidate Tom Tiffany stated he "won't cancel Thanksgiving as governor."
- Despite the backlash, a Marquette University poll published last week shows Hong leading with 38% support in the primary, and she recently backtracked on past support for abolishing police.
