In a disturbing display of radical ideology, Francesca Hong, the leading Democratic Socialist candidate for Wisconsin's governorship, is now facing intense scrutiny for past remarks calling to "Cancel Thanksgiving" and for expressing disdain for "old white people" at a local restaurant. As the primary race heats up, these resurfaced posts paint a stark picture of the extreme agenda Hong brings to the forefront of a crucial American state.
The first bombshell came from a now-deleted post on X from November 2020, where Hong brazenly declared, "Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621." She went further, arguing, "If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed indigenous folx [sic] and women, so be it." This isn't just a casual dismissal of a cherished American holiday; it's a fundamental rejection of our nation's history, framed through the divisive lens of grievance politics and "woke" terminology.
But the revelations didn't stop there. A 2019 post from Hong also resurfaced this past Friday, revealing an equally unsettling mindset. In it, she recounted an incident at a Culver's restaurant, admitting, "I ate two bites of my kid's cheeseburger at a Culver's in black river falls and told him they ran out of ice cream. Mostly just wanted to leave bc I was on the verge of a anxiety attack...to (sic) many old white people who didn't think we spoke english." Her subsequent correction, "Omg English ***TOO **AN," only underscores the careless nature of her original, racially charged complaint.
This isn't merely a gaffe; it’s a window into the mind of a potential governor who apparently finds the mere presence of "old white people" in Wisconsin's heartland sufficient to trigger an "anxiety attack." The casual contempt, the inability to discern ice cream from frozen custard—a Wisconsin staple, no less—and the immediate resort to racial categorization speaks volumes about the disconnect between this candidate and the everyday Americans she seeks to govern.
Conservative voices were quick to call out the absurdity. Stephen Miller, a prominent podcaster, simply noted the use of "'Folx,'" highlighting the virtue-signaling language employed. Alex Pfeiffer, former White House Principal Deputy Communications Director, remarked, "Bold choice for Democrats in Wisconsin running someone statewide who gets a panic attack at Culver's at the sight of 'old white people.'" Chuck Ross, an investigative reporter, pointed out the almost comical level of political self-sabotage: "The only way this post could be worse for someone running for office in Wisconsin is if she had complained that Culver's uses too much butter." And one MAGA personality, Brick Suit, delivered the ultimate Wisconsin indictment: "One of the democrats running for Governor of Wisconsin doesn't know that Culver's serves only fresh frozen custard. She thinks they serve ice cream. Disqualifying."
Hong has leaned heavily into her socialist platform, describing her vision as ensuring "working-class people have their fair share" – a familiar slogan that often masks radical redistributionist policies. Her agenda includes race-based grants for social workers, publicly funded grocery stores, and even a state-run bank, aligning her with the most progressive wings of the Democrat party, including endorsements from Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Ro Khanna.
Her ascent comes after former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes abruptly exited the race amidst unsettling "rumblings" of alleged workplace misconduct. With Barnes' departure, Hong, despite her openly radical views, has solidified her position as a leading contender, poised to capture the Democratic nomination with just weeks to go until the primary.
The choice for Wisconsin voters is becoming clearer by the day. Do they embrace a candidate who dismisses American heritage, demonizes everyday citizens based on race, and champions an economically destructive socialist agenda? Or will they stand for common sense, traditional values, and the America First principles that seek to unite, rather than divide, the very fabric of our society? The future of the Badger State hangs in the balance, a stark reminder that elections have consequences, and principles matter.
