Presumptive DSA Candidate for Wisconsin Governor Once Voted Against a Law to Prohibit Teachers from Sexually Grooming Young Children

Francesca Hong thinks that banging kids is a teacher's right.

Wisconsin socialist Francesca Hong voted against anti-child grooming law responding to pervy teacher pursuing 14-year-old
By Ryan King

WASHINGTON -- Wisconsin socialist darling Francesca Hong was one of just six lawmakers in the Badger State's legislature to vote against an anti-child grooming law enacted earlier this year by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers, records show.
The law -- which bars adults from "engaging in a course of conduct, pattern of behavior, or series of acts with the intention to condition, seduce, solicit, lure, or entice a child" into sexual activity or pornography -- was in response to the case of former Kenosha school teacher Christian Enwright, who was found guilty of a slew of misdemeanor counts for pursuing a relationship with a 14-year-old student.
"[Enwright] engaged in classic grooming behavior, preying on the vulnerability of at least one female student, under the guise of being a mentor, to foster and further a predatory relationship with her," a school district investigator wrote in a report quoted by the Cap Times in December 2025.

There was no actual law against the grooming so they convicted him on a bunch of misdemeanors. Lawmakers moved to make grooming of children by a teacher a felony -- and Hong insisted that her decarceration agenda means child groomers must go free.

Enwright began reaching out to the minor on Snapchat in June 2023 and exchanged more than 600 messages with her, including sexualized comments about her appearance and images of himself in bed without a shirt.
At least two staffers had privately expressed concerns about Enwright's behavior toward female students and he had a reputation for giving "long hugs," according to the Cap Times.
Eventually, the school district's human resources team received an anonymous tip about his behavior toward the teen in February 2024 and he was arrested, charged, and fired three months later.
However, prosecutors had difficulty bringing a case against Enwright because he never had sexual contact with the girl and none of the photos he sent or asked the teen for were explicit enough to charge him with a felony under state law.
Ultimately, Enwight pleaded guilty in April 2025 to 15 misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and was sentenced that July to 15 months in jail and three years of probation.
The subsequent outcry lead to the Wisconsin legislature passing the anti-grooming law, with the Assembly approving it 93-6 and the state Senate passing it by voice vote.
It is unclear why Hong, the leading Democratic gubernatorial candidate ahead of Tuesday's primary, opposed the bill -- though her colleagues who voted against it suggested the measure was redundant in state law.
Hong's campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The 37-year-old previously expressed support for both defunding and abolishing the police.
"Police exist to uphold white supremacy. Defund then abolish. Reform can't be an option," Hong posted on social media in October 2021, though she has since retreated from that position.
"I was actually trying to become a sports journalist when I first went to college, so I learned you sometimes have bad takes on Twitter," she recently told reporters in a bid to explain her radicalism.

Yes, she really dismissed all of her incendiary communist positions by saying that she was just doing some "bad takes on twitter."

This Democrat says he's voting Republican due to Hong's insistence that teachers should be allowed to rape their students:

Swann Marcus
@SwannMarcus89

I am now unironically likely R on the Wisconsin gubernatorial race. 7 months ago Francesca Hong voted against a bill that made it illegal for teachers to groom their students for sexual purposes
Here's what happened: A 30-year-old teacher messaged a 13-year-old student of his every day for six months and talked about how he wanted them to be together, she had a nice body, and he was jealous when she talked to other boys. He also sent her pictures of himself lying shirtless in bed
So the cops arrested him but when they went to charge him, they realized nothing he did was actually illegal. They never made sexual contact and no pictures were exchanged that were explicit enough to qualify under Wisconsin state law. This guy was actively trying to rape a 13-year-old student and there was no law forbidding his conduct
He wound up being charged with a bunch of disturbing the peace charges and only spent six months in prison for spending half a year abusing his authority as a teacher to manipulate a 13-year-old girl into having sex with him. He is not a convicted felon - since all the charges were misdemeanors - and is not on the sex offender registry
The Wisconsin State Assembly responded to this by drafting a bipartisan bill that made it a felony to engage in any course of conduct clearly and obviously intended seduce or lure a child into engaging in sexual acts or exchanging illicit images. It passed 193-6 and was signed into law by the Democratic governor. Francesca Hong voted no.
4 months later the first person was charged under the new law. He was 36-year-old man who met a developmentally disabled 16-year-old in a public park when she was 13 and spent the next three years trying to manipulate her into running away from home so he could make her his live-in sex slave.
To recap: Earlier *this very year* Franesca Hong was one of only six people to vote against a bill that made it illegal to take affirmative action designed to lure a minor into sexual acts and the very first person the bill Hong voted against was used to arrest was a guy who tried to rape an underage girl with Down Syndrome
I have never seen a Democratic candidate this bad. This is like Mark Robinson territory.

Some other Democrats see her as a sure loser in the general:

Steve Guest
@SteveGuest
CNN NewsNight EXPOSES how the woke mind virus infected the Democrat Party:
@yemisi
: "Francesca Hong is a deeply unserious person. I think we've all but lost Wisconsin if she wins this primary... We're laughing now, but this is the way a lot of people were talking. White women were apologizing to me about their own whiteness, and so Francesca Hong saying her proximity to whiteness and her biracial son makes her uncomfortable. Quite frankly, if we take that and put it in 2019, it all kinda gels and fits together."
@jasonrantz
: "Which is why it's just so ironic to hear AOC talk about woke 1.0 as if number one, she wasn't a part of it when she obviously was, and she's trying to rewrite history. But woke 2.0 is just as bad. They maybe adapted some of the language that they use, and to say, "Well, no, I've evolved from that position." The question then becomes, for anyone who says woke 1.0 was crazy, was too-- Okay, tell us what specifically. Tell us what positions were too far to one side. Was it the defunding the police? Because you'll still get the same answer out of a lot of these folks. They'll just give it in a slightly different way, but their end result is exactly the same."
@Jesse_Leg
: "Well, this is the thing, right? I actually give Francesca Hong a little bit of credit. I mean, from the perspective that Thanksgiving is good and delicious. But to AOC, I would ask the question, 'if Woke 1 was crazy, well, which priors did you hold during Woke 1 that you no longer subscribe to? Do you believe that children shouldn't be able to have sex change operations anymore? Do you believe that biological men shouldn't be able to participate in women's sports? Do you disavow defunding the police, not prosecuting repeat offenders, the border policies of the first Biden administration?' These are all very good questions, 'cause I don't haven't heard her change her mind on much of anything from Woke 1."

The primary election is today and there seems to be no chance Hong can be defeated.

Meanwhile, the GOP has run zero ads against her, because they want her to win.

"The Republicans have spent more money on TV advertising for Francesca Hong than every Democratic candidate has spent combined. Literally her entire TV footprint is Republican Super PACs. She currently has zero dollars of her own television ad buys lined up, has spent zero dollars on TV ads the entire campaign, has no support from outside money that isn’t a Republican psyop, has one-tenth of Tom Tiffany’s cash on hand, and can’t receive support from the DNC because the party is broke"

Oh this is only hard because there are so many reasons...

1) The left supports grooming of kids as part of LGBTQ crap. Yes this is a straight male pedo, but the same laws will be used against LGBTQ groomers

2) He's a teacher, protected class.

3) The victim is probably a white girl, and Hong hates white people

Turnout differential is a thing (not even Obama's people figured out how to reverse it for his midterms).

Out of power parties tend to see higher turnout. It just happens.

However, candidate quality, especially in state-level races, can shift the balance. People are a bit less blindly partisan when it comes to races for things like governor (Larry Hogan being Republican governor of MD for a recent example, before he tanked his race for senate of the same state despite being a popular governor).

1. Dude looks creepier and gayer than James Talafreako. I'm surprised his victim was a girl.

2. Girl at 13 had her own access to snapchat and TT and privately communicated with this pervert for years. Where the fuck were her parents?

3. Pervert would have succeeded in eventually raping the girl. She was "into" the grooming and even tried to protect and cover up for him when police got involved. Incredible. Groomers know who to target.

4. Wasn't just pure messaging. There were reports of inappropriate touching at school too.

5. If this was a gay pervert grooming a male student, would anything have happened? My guess is no.

Michigan Dems only nominated him by 15,000 votes, thanks to three muslim dominated towns. He got swamped in counties won/lost. Immediately after winning he threatened his opponent and demeaned the Democrats who didn't vote for him. His appeal will be further diluted when he faces a Republican, albeit a deep state Republican, who is well known and inoffensive. I'm no election analyst but this looks like a GOP pick up to me, barring some disaster.

unlike her, I have never dated women, and she's now been married to a man -as I have-for some time . It ( feminism) seems to have progressed from qualified women should be able to have to same jobs men do to " women are better than men." And no, I completely reject the idea that women are better than men. Each sex has its strengths and in a good relationship are intended to complement each other.

Everyone assumes Cooper is the favorite for a couple of reasons.

He's a former governor who left office 2 years ago who is running in an open seat, so he's effectively an incumbent. His name recognition is through the roof.

But everything else beyond that tells a different story.

The last time he won election was 2020. There were 400,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans in the state. Now, there are 10,000 more Republicans than Democrats. He won that race by 250,000 votes.

That alone should tell people that this is, at best, toss up territory.

But, polling, right? Look back at the 2020 polling of the NC senate race. Cunningham was running away with it, until he lost to Tillis in the actual election. Senate polling in general sucks (avg. movement of 7 points to the GOP from summer to election day over the past few cycles).

On top of that, Cooper left office with a couple of major issues (Helene response and something that's built up since, his soft on crime policies which led to Iryna's death).

In addition, we've seen "popular" governors of the wrong party lose federal statewide races even when still considered popular because they are of the wrong party. Think of Larry Hogan going from popular MD governor to losing by double digits in the Senate race just in 2024.

I really think Cooper is the actual underdog.

AI summary of two contradictory Vandy studies of the 24 election:

A July 2025 study found that Polymarket significantly outperformed traditional polling. It found that Polymarket’s Wisdom of the Crowds approach was more accurate and dynamically responsive to real-world events, particularly in key swing states like Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania. The study suggested that betting markets provided superior predictive power for the 2024 election outcome compared to conventional poll aggregators.

Conversely, a December 2025 study found that higher trading volume does not guarantee accuracy. Analyzing over 2,500 contracts they found that PredictIt was the most accurate, while Polymarket was the least accurate despite having the highest volume. The researchers attributed Polymarket’s lower accuracy to herd behavior and market manipulation (such as the "French Whale" phenomenon), suggesting that its massive liquidity introduced "noise" rather than signal.

My theory (which is based on some experience in my pro bono work) is that those who are truly serious about suicide just go ahead and do it, and can't be stopped. They just sneak out one night and jump in front of a subway (this actually happened to a kid I knew back in the day).

The rest do it 99% for attention. We had girls -- it's usually girls -- "attempt" suicide multiple times, over and over, and even went so far as to cut themselves. But each time, they almost carefully chose the time and place so that others could intervene.

But who knows? Maybe one day these attention-seekers eventually go all the way.

I had a coworker at Microsoft one day start ranting about some law that was unconstitutionally vague and how it's designed to be used as a tool to incarcerate anyone the police want to harass.

One thing that can't be stressed enough...

In 2000 the Dems accused the Republicans of stealing the election in FL. The FL state government made the actual ballots available along with all the election data and the left spent month forensically going through the ballots to in the end find Shrub's vote count had been undercounted by a few ballots. No fraud.

In 2020 the Reps accused the Dems of stealing the election in the 6 states that stopped counting because of a leaky sink in Atlanta. The Dems then arrest and cancelled anyone they could repeating the claims, hid and later burned the ballots, and hid every piece of information they could

Now the Rep actions after 2000 show a group of people that know the election was above board...so what do the Dem actions in 2020 show?

I agree with both of your points, but the question is WHY did she get so many fewer votes than Biden. One starts, of course, with the fact that Biden didn't get anything remotely like the number of votes he was credited with getting. Secondly, though, is that even Democrats, or at least some of them, have a limit beyond which they will not go, and Kamala was firmly over that line between competence and utter clownishness.

281 270 The Dems are pushing Cooper's economic policies, not the Dem social engineering stuff. Cooper was also bad on 2A policy. The NC Senate and the General Assembly had to override his veto of the handgun purchase permit repeal.

=======

I really think the base issue is that NC is more Republican than it was before, Mark Robinson's complete collapse in 2024 convinced everyone that NC is still a purple state (statewide-state level races tend to be far less purely partisan and open to character destruction having an effect).

The state has materially moved rightward over the last few years in terms of registrations and registered independents in NC have a long history of leaning hard to the right (not every state is like that).

Competitive senate races tend to drive turnout up statewide in the states that have them, helping them to reflect both overall PVI of the state and getting turnout to presidential election levels.

There is a far more likely chance that the NC senate race more closely reflects the 2024 presidential race, but everyone's acting like it's going to reflect the NC governor race.

286 even Democrats, or at least some of them, have a limit beyond which they will not go, and Kamala was firmly over that line between competence and utter clownishness.

I remember a small news item that popped up in early in the Biden junta - they sent Harris to Vietnam and they convinced her to go to a monument they had to John McCain...now this should have triggered anyone's skepticism...remember we were at war and McCain was an American airman.

So she went and gave a word salad speech in front of the statue which was in honor of Vietnam shooting down McCain and capturing him. America was embarrassed in a really stupid manner.

287 I just don’t believe equality requires resenting men, denying biology, or pretending civilization remains trapped in 1954.

Could women not vote in 1954? Could they not work outside the home? Could they not hold office?

Equality would require that women surrender their advantages where they exist. Not too many feminists are eager to do that.

One starts, of course, with the fact that Biden didn't get anything remotely like the number of votes he was credited with getting.

Mebbe, Mebbe not. No one knows for sure because while history has a lot of examples, whether a particular example applies to our future comes down to educated or not so educated guessing.

Vernor Vinge, sci fi writer, called it a singularity, a point at which everything after is different. He applied it to technology but the concept is broader than that.

The A-Bombs exploding as a denouement to WWII was such a time. The American and French Revolutions plus Napoleon was another.

I think the next singularity will the implosion of post war liberalism and its belief that the whole world is a bunch of human widgets that believe and act the same way.

Among the Demunists, there was and perhaps still is an internal power struggle between the Stalinst Faction (Hillary, Biden, Commielah) and the Trotskyite Faction (Bernie Sanders).

In 2016, Trotskyite Sanders was cheated out of a few state Demunist primaries that were rightfully his to win.

Now in a fair fight, I expect that Hillary Clinton would still have won the Demunist nomination. But she and the Demunist Party Politburo Appartatus could not even have *that*.
