[This piece has been published in Restoring America to highlight how leftist district attorney Chesa Boudin's refusal to enforce the law led to his ouster in San Francisco.]
Chesa Boudin, the rogue prosecutor of San Francisco, was recalled from office Tuesday by voters who were disgusted by his feckless leadership and pro-criminal, anti-victim policies. The recall was organized and funded primarily by liberal Democrats who were fed up with Boudin and his hands-off approach to enforcing the law.
SF voters, many of whom embrace being labeled as progressive, decided they wanted a more traditional crime-fighter as district attorney and delivered what will be viewed nationally as a blow to efforts to reshape criminal justice.
San Franciscans recalled district attorney Chesa Boudin but will wake up Wednesday with the same root causes of crime, and most important, the same mayor.
