Francesca Hong is trying to lie about her record to appear more moderate ahead of her all-but-guaranteed win in next week's Wisconsin primary. Hong will then run for governor against Republican Tom Tiffany.

During a podcast interview, Hong said she would not commute the sentences of murderers.

But Tiffany called Hong out for lying about her views, because on April 27, Hong and her fellow Democrats were asked if they would commute the sentences of murderers. The only Democrat who said no to that question was Mandela Barnes.

We already know that Hong wants to abolish police and prisons. She pretends she doesn't, and that "investing" in law enforcement is part of her "public safety" plan. But Hong has been a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) for years, and she supports their agenda. Abolishing police and prisons is part of that.

Fact-checkers refused to do their jobs when Hong's campaign said she never called to abolish the Senate, despite a social media post in which Hong called for just that.

We can safely assume that everything Hong is saying during the campaign is a lie. She is pulling a leaf from Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's playbook: campaign like a moderate, win, and then govern like the radical we all know Hong is.
