How depressing.
Then, by Wednesday, the socialist lunatic did a U-turn so onerous it left tire marks on the street.

In an interview with Politico, she proclaimed, “My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving…I don’t want to cancel it. I actually love it.”
All she was lacking was a pilgrim hat made of construction paper.
Hong knew she needed to run back her weird take.
Even institution Democrats like David Axelrod mocked her on X, writing, “It’s answers like these than cause many to think if this chef wins the gubernatorial primary in WI, Ds may be cooked.”
Indeed, it was as absurd and preposterous as her unique, now deleted, tweet which set all this off.
“Cancel Thanksgiving,” she wrote. “Should have done this in 1621. If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed Indigenous folx and women so be it.”

Except her anti-American views aren’t buried deep in the ground with a bunch of different bones.
They’re able to floor with a good onerous rain — or a win at the poll box.
They have been mirrored in her CNN interview, the place she invoked her previous kitchen job, in an attempt to make her Thanksgiving slander more palatable.
“I’m a chef, and one of the first meals that I made that was for the community when I was 16 was a Thanksgiving meal,” she stated, including that her “hospitality background” is a “good thing.”

It’s becoming. The DSA desires to strip our society, authorities and tradition down to its studs, to allow them to construct their own socialist utopia.
It’s not simply turkey day.
In 2020, she additionally went after cops, writing on social media that “police exist to uphold white supremacy” and “I support defunding the police as a first step towards abolishing the police.”

If somebody is so radicalized they wish to ban American holidays and abolish the police, they don’t evolve. They attempt to change the dialog as a result of their intolerant views don’t maintain up in the gentle of day. And actually not in 2026.
When it involves disavowing previous absurd tweets, she will be able to observe Zohran Mamdani’s lead. He recurrently mocked and smeared cops on social media whereas calling to defund them, however he managed it more deftly.
However, he is merely far more expert as a politician, subsequently in a position to sweep his radicalism into the dustbin together with his smug smile and theatre child over confidence.
Hong doesn’t have his political chops, so she’s stumbling whereas making an attempt to clean up this mess.
These surging DSA candidates can fake they’re simply seeking to make issues inexpensive for the working class.
But final week, their social gathering co-chair, Megan Romer, appeared on Fox News and explicitly laid out the social gathering platform. They wish to abolish borders, prisons and the Senate.
Thanksgiving? That’s nothing.
