AOC took to “This Week with Jonathan Karl” on ABC to defend Francesca Hong, the latest Democratic Socialist star, running for governor of Wisconsin.

In 2020, Hong said Thanksgiving should be canceled, claiming it’s “a time that’s incredibly painful for people” in her community.

Now that she wants to get elected, Hong suddenly called Thanksgiving her “favorite holiday.”
