Discussion on Thanksgiving Controversy

You know you've talked about your past positions

that he keeps highlighting and you know obviously

likely would continue to do so

before November should you win.

One thing that they brought up as well was

a post from you in 2021

where you said Americans should cancel Thanksgiving,

should have done this in 1621.

The post has been deleted,

Republicans have been highlighting it.

Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled?

I'm a chef and one of the first meals

that I made that was for the community

when I was 16 was a Thanksgiving meal.

Now I always think my hospitality background

and owning a restaurant for seven eight years

that bringing folks around the table

to share conversation and build community

is always a good thing but

Thanksgiving is also a time

that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities

and so I think there I wanted

to make sure that people understood

that there are multiple views

but views can evolve and the position

that I'm running for right now and

I think my background as a chef

will actually help me become a better governor

that's able to bring more people to the table.

Francesca Hong, thank you for joining us.

We hope to have you back

on on how things go next week in your primary.

Thank you so much for having me Caitlin.
