SF Examiner: ‘Chesa Boudin Derangement Syndrome’ grips S.F. politics

Donate now to stop the recall → A new op-ed out in the San Francisco Examiner puts it clearly: The Republicans funding the anti-Chesa recall are suffering from ‘Chesa Boudin Derangement Syndrome.’ Supporters of the recall portray Chesa as the root of all ills. Every crime trend -- even those pre-dating his tenure -- is blamed on him. "Car burglarized? Blame Boudin. Walgreens and CVS closing hundreds of stores nationwide? Boudin’s fault. National fentanyl epidemic. Thanks Boudin. Police not making enough arrests? Boudin hurt their morale.” —The San Francisco Examiner The recall efforts would have you believe that Chesa’s mere presence in office for just two years is responsible for decades of societal failure. Addiction, crime, and poverty has existed in San Francisco for 150 years before Chesa was elected with a mandate to reform the system and stop crime before it starts. Chesa’s election signaled a key victory for the national movement to elect more progressive prosecutors. And he’s drawn the ire of police when he followed through on his campaign promise to prosecute police brutality. We recommend you read the full op-ed about ‘Chesa Boudin Derangement Syndrome’ here. But for now, with supporters of the recall spending lavishly to promote false narratives about Chesa’s tenure, we need your help.
