The likely Democratic nominee for governor in Wisconsin, Francesca Hong, is facing backlash after an old post emerged online where she suggested canceling Thanksgiving. The post, backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, has sparked controversy and raised questions about her stance on American holidays.
Democratic Socialist frontrunner Francesca Hong is facing scrutiny after an old post surfaced online where she advocated for canceling Thanksgiving. The 2018 tweet, which has since been deleted, suggests that Americans should not celebrate the holiday due to its association with Native American suffering. As a potential nominee for governor in Wisconsin, Hong's past comments are drawing criticism from some who see them as out of touch with the state's values and traditions. The controversy is likely to impact her chances of securing the Democratic nomination.
