Despite Appearing on Hasan Piker’s Show, Wisc. Gubernatorial Candidate Says She Doesn’t Support All the Views of Platforms She’s On

RUSH EXCERPT:

HONG: “I condemn hatred, discrimination, anti-Semitism and islamophobia. Any sort of dehumanizing of communities being on these streams. It’s important that we get our message out in places where, you know, campaigns struggle to reach voters. Just because I am on a platform certainly does not mean that I endorse everything that has been said by either the hosts or other people who have gone on. And if candidates and elected officials who are speaking with more controversial hosts, you know, if we are to be responsible for everything that they have ever said, I would point to the fact that Tom Tiffany, the Republican likely nominee, has been on a radio show that has called for the execution of the governor of Minnesota. So I think it’s important to recognize that when we are campaigning in areas where folks may not have already heard our message, it’s important to let them know that we are a campaign that is fighting for working class people, and it’s important that folks are staying engaged on our elections here in Wisconsin.”
