Hong clarifies Thanksgiving stance amid resurfaced post in CNN interview

Wisconsin Democratic Socialist Francesca Hong, a leading candidate in the Democratic primary for governor, faced questions about a resurfaced 2020 post calling to ‘Cancel Thanksgiving’ during a CNN interview. She said she does not want to cancel the holiday, noting Thanksgiving can be painful for many, and framed her hospitality background as a strength in governance, while the campaign stressed her current position. Conservatives mocked the remarks as scrutiny grows ahead of the primary.
