Hasan Piker’s “Touch Of Death”? Far-Left Francesca Hong Loses Wisconsin’s Dem Primary For Governor
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly won Wisconsin’s Democratic gubernatorial primary on Tuesday night, defeating far-left state lawmaker Francesca Hong despite her backing from Marxist streamer Hasan Piker.

Hong’s loss raises a broader question for the democratic socialist movement: Has Piker’s support become a political liability?

His incendiary, anti-American rhetoric, including calls to “kill capitalists,” has handed Republicans a potent line of attack against the socialist and Marxist candidates he promotes. In addition, leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America routinely call for undermining the nation and collapsing capitalism.

It increasingly appears that the DSA’s ultimate goal is not affordability, opposition to data centers, or whatever issue its members happen to be promoting that day to rile up fellow Marxists. It is really about ending the American empire.
Hong’s loss is a major sigh of relief for the Democratic Party establishment, which initially welcomed socialists and Marxists into their “big tent” DEI kingdom, but that has since turned out to be a terrible idea as the far-left seizes political power from establishment candidates in several primaries across the country this summer.
Politico wrote earlier, “The far left hits a wall,” adding, “After hot DSA summer comes the fall.”
Democrats are desperately trying to distance themselves from Piker, socialists, and Marxists. Republicans have been handed a political gift because far-left soundbites, such as Hong repeatedly calling to defund the police and cancel Thanksgiving, are unpopular with the majority of Americans. That’s because defund the police was already tried during the Marxist BLM riot days and entirely failed, leading to more violent crime and murders.

Yet these DSA candidates are hell-bent on running on nation-killing policies and an anti-American agenda that risks branding the entire Democratic Party as far-left and radical.
She also supports:
- Abolishing the police
- Abolishing prisons
- Abolishing borders
- Raising taxes to fund government-run grocery stores
🚨 Socialists are targeting Wisconsin.

Some of Hong’s comments are pure comedy because her worldview is fundamentally flawed. This remark is also racist: describing having a half-white son as “being in proximity to whiteness.”

DSA is far-left; let’s not forget that.
Honestly, let Piker and the rest of the socialists and Marxists keep talking. Their inflammatory soundbites are gold mines for opposition research.
