Francesca Hong — the current frontrunner for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Wisconsin — watched someone try to assassinate the President of the United States at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday night, and her first instinct was to hop on social media and complain about ICE.
That’s not a parody. That’s not satire. That is an actual woman running for actual governor of an actual state, and her brain is so thoroughly pickled in progressive ideology that she couldn’t even fake being a normal human being for 24 hours after an assassination attempt.
Here’s what Hong posted while the rest of the country was processing the fact that a gunman opened fire at an event full of government officials: “The state enacts political violence on its citizens every day. We see it when ICE agents occupy our cities and put children in cages. We see it in a healthcare system that lets people die because they can’t afford care.”
Read that again. Slowly.
A man tried to shoot the president and her response was — essentially — well, what about ICE? What about healthcare? As if deporting illegal aliens is morally equivalent to pulling a trigger at a dinner full of innocent people. As if enforcing federal immigration law is the same thing as attempted murder.
The backlash was immediate and savage. Critics pointed out that Hong was “parroting rhetoric leftists used to justify the execution of the United Healthcare CEO” last year. FBI Director Kash Patel was tagged in responses, with people calling her tweet “disgusting” — which, frankly, is being generous. “Disgusting” implies it was just tasteless. This was calculated. This was a politician with a campaign to run, choosing to use a national tragedy as a springboard for her open-borders talking points.
And she’s not some random blue-check nobody screaming into the void. Francesca Hong is a sitting Wisconsin state representative. She is the Democratic frontrunner to succeed Governor Tony Evers. She wants the keys to the governor’s mansion. This is the person Wisconsin Democrats have decided represents their best shot at keeping power.
Think about that. Out of everyone they could have rallied behind, they picked the woman who sees an assassination attempt and thinks, “How can I make this about ICE?”
We’ve seen this playbook before, haven’t we? Every time there’s political violence — and it’s always aimed at our side, funny how that works — Democrats spend about thirty seconds offering “thoughts and prayers” before pivoting to their real agenda. The shooting becomes a prop. The victims become background noise. And the actual message is: “Sure, someone tried to kill the president, but have you considered that border enforcement is the REAL violence?”
No, Francesca. Enforcing immigration law is not violence. Deporting people who broke into the country illegally is not violence. You know what IS violence? Shooting at the President of the United States. That’s violence. And your inability to distinguish between the two tells Wisconsin voters everything they need to know about your judgment.
Here’s a free campaign tip for Hong — when someone tries to assassinate the president, the correct political response is: “This is terrible, political violence is never acceptable, and I hope they catch whoever did this.” Full stop. Period. End of statement. You can go back to complaining about ICE on Monday. But you couldn’t even manage that, could you? You couldn’t even pretend for one single day.
The people of Wisconsin deserve better than a governor candidate who treats assassination attempts like campaign opportunities. Every voter in that state should screenshot Hong’s tweet, save it, and remember it when they walk into the voting booth.
Because this is who she is. Not who she was in a bad moment. Not who she is when she’s tired or stressed. This is who she is when the mask slips and the first thought that pops into her head goes straight to Twitter.
Wisconsin, you’ve been warned.
