Francesca Hong, a Democratic socialist and Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate, is attacked for her past statements calling to abolish police, cancel Thanksgiving, and her history of mental health hospitalization.
Gonzales claims Hong's refusal to directly answer whether her views on police abolition have evolved reveals her radicalism, despite attempts by CNN to provide her an opportunity to walk back her positions.
The episode highlights a 'civil war' in the Democratic Party, citing James Carville and Bill Maher as potential defectors over the influence of socialists like Abdul El-Sayed and Hasan Piker.
Gonzales warns that Chinese-owned conglomerate Smithfield Foods (WH Group) is behind the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' which would override state animal welfare laws like California's Prop 12, harming independent farmers and animal welfare.
