Francesca Hong wants to be the next governor of Wisconsin, but her old social media posts are coming back to haunt her. She once openly supported getting rid of the police, and that should worry every Wisconsinite who values safety.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Francesca Hong called for defunding and then abolishing the police.
- She made these statements both before and after becoming a state representative.
- Her stance softened when asked about it recently, but can we really believe her?
- Rep. Tom Tiffany blasted Hong and her primary opponent Mandela Barnes as “far-left radicals.”
Hong’s Radical Past Comes Back to Haunt Her
It seems like just yesterday that radical leftists were screaming about “defunding the police.” Now, a Wisconsin politician who embraced that dangerous idea wants to run the whole state. State Rep. Francesca Hong, now a candidate for governor, once proudly declared her support for “defunding the police as a first step towards abolishing the police.”
These weren’t just off-the-cuff remarks, either. She posted this back in August 2020, in the thick of the unrest following the Jacob Blake shooting. She even questioned why seven bullets in the back wasn’t excessive force, claiming police exist to uphold “white supremacy.”
Now that she’s running for governor, she’s trying to walk it back. But can we trust a politician who changes her tune when it suits her?
Is This the Future of the Democrat Party?
Hong’s radical views aren’t unique; they represent a dangerous trend within the Democrat Party. Just look at the endorsements she’s received from far-left figures like Ilhan Omar.
Rep. Tom Tiffany didn’t mince words, calling out both Hong and her primary opponent, Mandela Barnes, as extreme leftists who prioritize criminals over law-abiding citizens. He pointed out Barnes‘ past support for slashing the prison population and ending cash bail.
This isn’t about reform; it’s about dismantling the very foundations of law and order. It’s about putting criminals back on the streets and leaving families vulnerable.
What This Means for Wisconsin’s Future
The possibility of someone who openly supported abolishing the police becoming governor should send shivers down the spine of every law-abiding citizen in Wisconsin. It signals a willingness to prioritize radical ideology over the safety and security of the community.
The choice for Wisconsinites is clear: do they want a leader who will stand up for law and order, or one who will cater to the whims of the radical left? The future of the state hangs in the balance.
Will Wisconsin voters remember these extreme views when they head to the polls?
