威斯康星州州长候选人弗朗西斯卡·洪在“美国新闻室”节目采访中为自己过去有争议的社交媒体帖子辩护。达娜·佩里诺就这位民主社会主义候选人呼吁削减警察预算、废除参议院以及取缔移民海关执法局（ICE）的言论对其进行质询。洪辩称这些言论需要结合背景看待，并强调她致力于支持威斯康星州各地的工薪阶层家庭。

争议厨师、民主社会主义候选人弗朗西斯卡·洪已就削减和废除警察预算的立场改口，她在最近的播客采访中表示，自己现在“认真对待公共安全”。
洪是威斯康星州民主党议员，或许最广为人知的是2020年因感恩节的殖民历史而呼吁“取消感恩节”。她是美国民主社会主义者组织（DSA）成员，也是威斯康星州州长竞选的民主党热门候选人。
在周二发布的“拯救美国播客”节目中，主持人问及洪2020年的推文，她在推文中写道“警察旨在维护白人至上”以及“我支持削减警察预算，将其作为废除警察制度的第一步”。播客主持人问道：“我想知道自2020年以来，你在警务问题上的观点有何演变？”
对此，洪表示：“我的观点反而更坚定了，因为我认真对待公共安全，我不会废除警察。”

她补充道：“我的观点是，民众目前正处于困境之中，需要满足基本需求。我希望专注于制止暴力犯罪，为执法部门提供所需的资源和培训，但同时也要确保对不遵守法律的执法人员追究责任。”
当被问及是否仍认为警察旨在维护白人至上时，洪迅速回答：“不。”
随后主持人又问：“自2020年你发布那条推文以来，你的想法有何变化？”
她回答：“我与更多直接接触相关问题的人进行了更多对话，也了解到，像我这样的公职人员，最重要的是确保我们提出合理、切实的解决方案，帮助保障社区安全。”

“当你与最受司法不公影响的人交谈时——比如失去孩子死于警察暴力的母亲，在历史上被边缘化社区中遭遇不公的人们——同时也要确保我们落实解决方案，帮助改变人们的生活物质条件。”她说道。
在采访中，洪还将自己此前畅想“没有监狱的世界”的言论描述为“更具理想主义色彩”。
批评人士指出，洪一直以来都发表过有争议的进步主义言论，近期她过往在X平台的帖子再次浮出水面。
2019年，她写道：“我在黑河瀑布的一家库尔弗餐厅吃了我孩子汉堡的两口，然后告诉他冰淇淋卖完了。我大多时候只想赶紧离开，因为我差点就要焦虑发作了……太多白人老头，他们根本不觉得我们会说英语。”

在另一篇已删除的帖子中，洪写道：“取消感恩节。早该在1621年就这么做了。如果需要一场全球大流行病才能让我们意识到应该停止庆祝殖民主义和这场导致原住民和妇女死亡的原始超级传播事件，那就随它去吧。”
在最近一次CNN节目采访中，洪被问到：“你仍然认为应该取消感恩节吗？”

“我是一名厨师，16岁时为社区做的第一顿饭就是感恩节大餐，”洪回应道。“但对我们社区里许多人来说，感恩节也是一段极其痛苦的时光。所以，我当时只是想让人们明白，看待问题可以有多种角度，但观点也会演变。”

Controversial socialist chef flip-flops on abolish the police, says she’s ‘serious about public safety’
Hong previously asserted police ‘exist to uphold white supremacy’ and said ‘I support defunding the police’

Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong defends her past controversial social media posts during an interview on ‘America’s Newsroom.’ Dana Perino grills the Democratic socialist candidate on her calls to defund the police, abolish the Senate, and eliminate ICE. Hong argues the comments require context and emphasizes her commitment to supporting working-class families across Wisconsin.

Controversial chef and democratic socialist candidate Francesca Hong has reversed her position on defunding and abolishing the police, saying in a recent podcast interview that she has become “serious about public safety.”
Hong is a Wisconsin Democratic lawmaker perhaps best known for her 2020 call to “cancel Thanksgiving” because of its colonial history. She is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and a leading Democratic candidate for Wisconsin governor.
In an episode of “Pod Save America” released on Tuesday, Hong was asked about her 2020 tweets in which she wrote that “police exist to uphold white supremacy” and “I support defunding the police as a first step towards abolishing the police.” The podcast host asked her, “I’m wondering how your views on policing have evolved since 2020?”
In response, Hong said, “My views have only become stronger in that I’m serious about public safety and I will not abolish the police.”
SOCIALIST FRANCESCA HONG STRUGGLES TO EXPLAIN CALL TO ‘CANCEL THANKSGIVING’ AS POST RESURFACES

“My views are that people are struggling right now and need basic needs met, and I want to focus on stopping violent crime and giving law enforcement the resources and the training that they need, but ensure we are also holding accountable law enforcement that does not follow the law,” she added.
Pressed on whether she still believes police exist to uphold White supremacy, Hong answered quickly, “No.”
Hong was then asked, “What has changed in your thinking since you posted that in 2020?”
She answered, “I’ve had more conversations with people who are more directly connected to the problems and have learned that it is most important for a public servant like myself to make sure we’re looking at sensible, practical solutions that will help keep communities safe.”

“When you talk to people who are most justice impacted, a mother who lost a child to police violence, people who have contended with injustices in historically marginalized communities, but just also looks like making sure we are implementing solutions and helping change the material conditions of people’s lives,” she said.
During the interview, Hong also characterized her previous statement fantasizing about a “world without prisons” as “more aspirational.”
Critics have argued that Hong has a history of expressing controversial progressive takes, with former X posts resurfacing in recent weeks.
In 2019, she wrote, “I ate two bites of my kid’s cheeseburger at a Culver’s in black river falls and told him they ran out of ice cream. Mostly just wanted to leave bc I was on the verge of a anxiety attack… to many old white people who didn’t think we spoke English.”

In another since-deleted post, Hong wrote, “Cancel Thanksgiving. 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.”
In a recent CNN appearance, Hong was asked, “Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled?”

“I’m a chef, and one of the first meals that I made that was for the community when I was 16 years old was a Thanksgiving meal,” Hong responded. “But Thanksgiving is also a time that’s incredibly painful for many people in our communities. And so, I think there, I wanted to make sure that people understood that there are multiple views, but views can evolve.”
