Dem socialist running for Wisconsin governor pushed 'abolishing the police'
Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong, a Democratic socialist running for governor, previously advocated for 'defunding and abolishing the police' following the deaths of George Floyd and Jacob Blake. In a recent statement to Fox News Digital, she backtracked, saying she opposes cutting public safety resources but did not clarify her stance on abolishing police as governor. Hong faces a competitive primary against Mandela Barnes and a likely Republican opponent, Rep. Tom Tiffany.
