Far-left Wisconsin gubernatorial contender Francesca Hong appeared to double down on resurfaced comments demanding that Thanksgiving be abolished, declining to walk back the post when confronted about it on national television.
"Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621," Hong wrote on X in a post she later deleted, according to Fox News.
"If it takes a worldwide pandemic for us to realize we should stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed indigenous folx [sic] and women, so be it," she added.
On Monday, Hong appeared on CNN’s "The Source with Kaitlan Collins," where the Democratic socialist was pressed about her controversial comments.
"Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled?" Collins asked.
