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.
