Too toxic. |
In one of the most historical votes in San Francisco history, the San Francisco city and county District Attorney, Chesa Boudin will be recalled. The voters had voted to remove the progressive district attorney because he allowed criminal activity run rampant in the country's most liberal city.
The City and County of San Francisco includes the city which sits on a peninsula and Treasure Island. The population is 890,000 residents.
He lost trust with its mayor London Breed and even Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the current Speaker of the House.
The constant reports of homelessness, shoplifting, bicycle theft, vehicle break ins and an apparent hands off approach to criminal acts is what done him in.
Inside Edition, The Daily Mail, Fox and other outlet of the far right shown the clips of shoplifters robbing a Walgreens and CVS store. It drove the narrative for a gay man to petition a recall. He managed to gather signatures and behold a recall.
Also I guess his association with leftist, Jeffrey Shaun King may have doomed him as well.
The leftist was calling the recall, racist and an attack on civil rights.
Shoplifting was played on far right outlets. It contributes to controversial district attorney's ouster. |
Boudin, the son of left-wing radicals who was elected on a Black Lives Matter-aligned platform to reform the criminal justice system, faced a successful recall effort as voters grew frustrated with the perception that his office is not willing to do much about crime.
The outcome was rebuke of the left as Democrats retreat from calls to defund the police in the face of polls nationally showing growing concern about public safety, especially from people of color.
Breed will appoint a temporary successor to fill the DA's office — formerly occupied by Vice President Kamala Harris — until an election can be held.
California was one of seven states holding primary elections Tuesday that will set the course for key congressional and other races in November.
And the battle for the House is coming into fuller view as Republicans chose nominees in districts that could decide whether Democrats retain their narrow majority in Washington.
