\n

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was asked if he will endorse Democratic Socialist of America (DSA) member Francesca Hong\u2019s Wisconsin<\/a> gubernatorial bid and his response sparked immediate mockery on social media.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think so,” the Vermont socialist told Pod Save America host Jon Favreau when asked if he is going to endorse Hong\u2019s campaign for governor. “I met Francesca a couple of years ago, I was in Wisconsin, and she seems very, very nice, but again this is a race I\u2019m just not that familiar with.”<\/p>\n

Sanders added that “we have not gotten involved in many governors races” other than recently in Maine where he endorsed Democrat Troy Jackson, who ultimately replaced disgraced Senate candidate Graham Platner<\/a>, a candidate Sanders endorsed.<\/p>\n

Political commentators quickly chimed in on social media suggesting that Sanders not endorsing Hong shows the senator doesn\u2019t think she can win, with many pointing to Sanders\u2019 strident support of Platner despite all of his political baggage.<\/p>\n

AFTER PLATNER IMPLOSION, MAINE DEMOCRATS RUSH TOWARD NEW SENATE NOMINEE DESPITE FRESH WARNING SIGNS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Bernie says he\u2019s not backing Francesca Hong because he\u2019s focused on the Senate,” Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross posted on X<\/a>. “Yet he\u2019s endorsed in mayoral races, House races, and Troy Jackson\u2019s failed governor race in Maine. That\u2019s how whacky Hong is .”<\/p>\n

“Says a lot,” Politico reporter Will Steakin posted on X.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Guy with the Nazi Tattoo \u2018hey everyone makes mistakes\u2019,” conservative commentator Stephen L. Miller posted on X<\/a>. “Crazy communist lady – \u2018not my cup of tea sorry.\u2019”<\/p>\n

SOCIALIST FRONTRUNNER IN THE HOT SEAT AFTER ‘CANCEL THANKSGIVING’ POST EMERGES ONLINE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“This guy endorsed a guy with a natzi [sic] tat but thinks @FrancescaHongWi is not worth an endorsement\u2026\u2026,” Jerry Ponio, legislative director for Americans for Prosperity – Wisconsin, posted on X<\/a>. “Yikes.”<\/p>\n

“Well, I guess even Bernie enjoys celebrating Thanksgiving at one of his three houses,” an account ran by Hong\u2019s likely general election opponent, Republican Tom Tiffany, posted on X.<\/a><\/p>\n

Tiffany\u2019s post references a controversial quote from Hong that went viral on social media where she suggested canceling Thanksgiving.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Francesca Hong, who is a Socialist candidate for Governor of Wisconsin is too radical…even for Bernie Sanders,” Turning Point Action Northeast Manager Brandon Maly posted on X.<\/a><\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to the Hong campaign and Sanders\u2019 office for comment.<\/p>\n

Critics have argued that Francesca Hong’s politics are too far to the left for a swing state like Wisconsin, contending that her identification as a socialist and support for ambitious progressive policies could make her less competitive in a general election.<\/p>\n

Hong\u2019s social media account is littered with far-left pledges like abolishing the U.S. Senate and defunding the police.<\/p>\n

Hong recently tried to walk back<\/a> those positions in recent interviews ahead of Tuesday\u2019s gubernatorial primary against Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley, former Wisconsin Department of Administration secretary Joel Brennan, and Democratic state Sen. Kelda Roys.<\/p>\n

Polls suggest Hong is likely to comfortably win that contest which will advance her to a race against Tiffany, the likely Republican nominee, in November.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
