MSNBC is in full-blown panic mode after a late-night election twist defeated their favored socialist candidate. It's a classic case of election dysfunction coming back to bite the Democrats in their own game.
- Francesca Hong, a far-left candidate, was widely expected to win Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary but suffered a stunning defeat.
- Late-night ballot mishaps in Milwaukee County dramatically shifted the election results in favor of David Crowley, the establishment-backed candidate.
- This event highlights the deepening civil war within the Democratic Party, as the DSA's influence threatens its traditional structure.
Francesca Hong, a radical cultural Marxist who famously called for the cancellation of Thanksgiving because it was "too colonialist," was seen as the latest darling of the ultra-leftists on MSNBC. Her defeat in Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary has left the network reeling. The polling leading up to the primary was nothing short of a disaster. According to the same pollsters who claim President Trump is unpopular, Hong was leading by over 20 points, according to Marquette and PPP. A literal 20-point polling miss! That's not just an oversight; it's propaganda.
Every narrative and smug MSNBC chyron assured us that Hong was a shoo-in for the nomination, a sign of the Marxist takeover of the Democratic Party, following figures like Zohran Mamdani in New York and Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. Hong's extreme platform included abolishing the police, ICE, and even the United States Senate. She advocated for a $20 statewide minimum wage, government-run grocery stores, and abolishing Thanksgiving. Her radical agenda reads like a DSA fever dream, and mainstream Democrats like James Carville know these positions are electoral poison.
David Crowley, the Milwaukee County Executive, wasn't even supposed to be in the race by primary night. He had suspended his campaign earlier after his fundraising tanked and his poll numbers were dismal. He endorsed Lieutenant Governor Sara Rodriguez, who later dropped out due to a scandal. Then, in a dramatic twist, outgoing Governor Tony Evers personally recruited Crowley back into the race just three weeks before the primary.
However, something unexpected happened late in the night. The Wisconsin election infrastructure collapsed in real-time. Milwaukee County experienced a USB stick meltdown; five of the nine USB drives meant to transmit election results contained audit logs instead of vote totals. This forced officials to return to the absentee ballot facility to redownload the data, affecting an estimated 15,000 ballots. Hong was gaining on Crowley with these late-night ballot dumps until the USB sticks inexplicably had audit logs instead of results. After the officials loaded the 'results,' Hong's momentum was obliterated, securing Crowley's victory by a mere few thousand votes.
By early Wednesday morning, with over 95% of the vote counted, Crowley had 313,321 votes (39.8%) compared to Hong's 310,110 (39.7%). Decision Desk HQ and the Associated Press called it for Crowley shortly before 4 a.m. Eastern, with a margin of roughly 3,200 votes—votes largely coming from those five USB flash drives. The socialists are livid, but they’re the ones who've insisted our elections are pristine. Now, they're reaping what they've sown.
This election drama further proves what we've been arguing for months: the DSA's hostile takeover is tearing the Democratic Party apart. The internal divide within the party is becoming more apparent, exacerbated by recent international events like the October 7th Hamas attack. With the rise of the DSA and its Third Worldism ideology, the party is in a civil war, driving mainstream Democrats like James Carville and Bill Maher to distance themselves.
As yesterday's primary showed, the Democratic establishment is fighting back, employing the same tactics they've used against rivals within their own ranks. The real loser in all of this is the Democratic Party itself. It's a fascinating saga to watch unfold, and it’s clear that regardless of who wins these internal battles, the party's cohesion and future remain in jeopardy.
