Trump blasts progressive candidates as ‘lunatics’ and ‘communists’ ahead of midterms
US President Donald Trump has invoked red-baiting tactics to attack Francesca Hong, a Korean American gubernatorial candidate for Wisconsin, describing her as a "lunatic" and a "communist." Trump alleged that Hong advocates abolishing Thanksgiving and opposing the police, alleging these are meant to "uphold white supremacy." Trump's comments came during a rally in Las Vegas, where he warned these views are "dangerous" and "unfit for office."
He also warned that communism poses the "greatest threat to our country in its history." Meanwhile, Trump also criticized Abdul El-Sayed, a Michigan senator candidate, alleging he "hates Jews" and opposes American support for Israel.
