Chesa Boudin, the overly WOKE District Attorney of San Francisco whose quite unstable tenure as the top prosecutor for the city crashed down to an end this past Tuesday evening when voters recalled him, has finally admitted that he “made mistakes,” but started to bitterly blame his entire failure on “right-wing billionaires.”
As the son of a pair of members of the Weather Underground terror group, Boudin has notable been very soft on crime as he let the city itself becomes much more dangerous and even dirtier. the early returns of the recall seem to state that just about 60 percent of the city’s voters wanted him gone. Boudin, who took the office in 2019 due to the support of left-wing billionaire George Soros, threw the blame at the well-heeled supporters of this entire effort to recall him.
“People are angry, they’re frustrated, and I want to be very clear about what happened tonight: The right-wing billionaires outspent us three to one, they exploited an environment in which people are appropriately upset, and they created an electoral dynamic where we were literally shadowboxing,” claimed Boudin. “Voters were not given an opportunity to choose between criminal justice reform and something else. They were given an opportunity to voice their frustrations and their outrage and they took that opportunity.”

One of the very first things that Boudin did after taking office with barely over 50% of the vote was to outright cancel cash bail for suspects. He also forced his department to refuse to work along with anyone from Immigration and Customs Enforcement, he prosecuted far fewer shoplifters and petty thieves, and as of March 2021, he downplayed the killing of an 84-year-old Thai immigrant as a “sort of temper tantrum” gone wrong.
The rate of homicides and various property crimes, such as car thefts and burglaries, saw a massive spike in their levels over the past two years, and additionally, his handling of any suspected fentanyl dealers has drawn much ire.
Boudin did state, after the fact, that “we’ve made mistakes,” but failed to actually speak up about what he thinks those mistakes actually are. As stated in the rules for the city, Boudin, who did not have an opponent, will be kicked out in favor of an interim prosecutor that will be chosen by Mayor London Breed.
Boudin is the child of David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin, prominent members of the 1970s extreme terror group Weather Underground. The group was attributed to a series of bombings of carious governmental buildings and banks throughout the 1970s. Gilbert was officially convicted of felony murder in connection with a 1981 heist of a Brinks truck that saw to the deaths of a pair of police officers alongside a guard, and Boudin was convicted of her role in the crime.
