Boudin blamed the recall on “tech bros” and, even funnier, San Francisco Republicans:
Soft on crime SF DA Chesa Boudin has been ousted from office in one of the most liberal cities in the U.S. He blamed the recall effort on “tech bros” and Republican operatives. LA DA @GeorgeGascon also trying to paint the recall effort against him as “Republican Recall”. @FoxNews

We sense a pattern here:
“With Chesa Boudin about to go down, and his predecessor George Gascón facing recall soon in L.A., and Kamala Harris having risen to her level of incompetence nationwide, San Francisco’s last three D.A.’s have been unmitigated disasters for the city”

Dems, get ready for the red wave:
Turns out San Francisco voters want criminals prosecuted. Chesa Boudin booted –decisively– from his job as district attorney in a recall election Tuesday. First sign of the crime issue building within the Red Wave coming.

You’re next, George Gascón:
NEW: The campaign to recall Los Angeles DA @GeorgeGascon is reacting to the successful recall of progressive San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin.
“Gascón will be walking the same plank in the near future.”@DAGasconRecall statement to @FoxNews: pic.twitter.com/9BlLDIwjsR— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) June 8, 2022
Melina Abdullah, the leader of Black Lives Matter in Los Angeles is having a major sad over Boudin’s recall.
She tweeted:
“One of the most committed, visionary DAs in the nation was just recalled. @chesaboudin made me believe in the term ‘progressive prosecutor.’ Big-money, pro-cop interests bought the election. They’re trying to do the same thing in LA.
We can’t fall for it.”

Maybe there’s hope for California?
“Progressives railed against LA Co Sheriff Alex Villanueva and mayoral candidate Rick Caruso, trying to smear them as ‘far right,’ and claiming that Republicans were behind the Chesa Boudin recall. The progressives are losing big tonight. #CAPrimary“
