Wisconsin state Rep. Francesca Hong may be leading the Democratic gubernatorial primary, but resurfaced social media posts suggest she has a problem with some of America\u2019s biggest holidays.<\/p>\n

Hong, a dues-paying member of the Democratic Socialists of America, has recently drawn considerable flak for stating in a November 2020<\/a> post that the country should “cancel Thanksgiving” in order to “stop celebrating colonialism and the original superspreader event that killed Indegenous [sic.] folx and women.” A comment she has since walked back amid backlash, claiming that it’s her “favorite holiday.”<\/p>\n

Less discussed, however, are her complaints about other popular American holidays.<\/p>\n

“I miss working in a restaurant every day…except on VDay,” she posted on Valentine’s Day 2022. “As if we weren’t invisible enough to those who don’t recognize the emotional & physical labor of service work, the worst of humanity comes out from folks ‘celebrating’ on another day capitalism tells you how to show love.”<\/p>\n

Figures on the left have long challenged traditional holidays such as Thanksgiving, Independence Day and Columbus Day over their historical associations. But Hong\u2019s yearslong trail of posts criticizing or dismissing several major celebrations is drawing fresh scrutiny as she campaigns to lead a swing-state battleground.<\/p>\n

“I don’t allow myself to work Halloween weekend or the day of,” Hong wrote in 2019. “I would actually ask every single person in costume to leave.”<\/p>\n

Six years later, she made another post telling her followers that they could ask her anything but noting that the “only subject off limits is Halloween.”<\/p>\n

“Not my thing,” she added.<\/p>\n

Conservative and liberal commentators alike have posted pictures<\/a> of the Grinch in response to Hong\u2019s old posts, suggesting that she has a hatred of holidays. One anonymous user accused her of “grinchmaxxing.”<\/p>\n

Hong also doesn\u2019t seem to be a fan of one of America\u2019s most iconic holiday celebrations.<\/p>\n

“Why isn’t there a curfew on fireworks?” she wrote in the early morning hours of July 5, 2020.<\/p>\n

“I do not enjoy fireworks,” she said on June 29, 2019.<\/p>\n

“If Francesca Hong had the explicit goal to attack storied institutions in order to turn off as many normal people as possible, she wouldn\u2019t be doing anything different,” Republican commentator Steve Guest wrote on social media.<\/p>\n

Though some have claimed Hong has a distaste for Christmas<\/a>, pointing to a post where she felt “slightly attacked” when someone changed her computer background to a Christmas tree, she has also made multiple posts celebrating the holiday.<\/p>\n

Conservatives have long accused Democrats<\/a> of waging a “war on Christmas,” a charge liberals deny.<\/p>\n

While many are poking fun at Hong for her distaste toward holidays, others find it relatable.<\/p>\n

“Tbh this doesn\u2019t make me dislike her at all, she has character,” Las Vegas DSA member Val Thomason wrote on X. “Like \u2018oh you know Fran, she hates holidays.\u2019”<\/p>\n

The Hong campaign did not respond to a request for comment when reached by Fox News Digital on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
