Chesa Boudin is out in San Francisco, but his agenda is alive in California

But despite the resounding rejection of Boudin, Tuesday’s results beyond San Francisco suggest voters are willing to reconsider, but not abandon, how their state handles crime and punishment.

“It turns out it was a political mistake for the entire Democrat party to spend years coddling criminals. Voters will get another chance to voice their displeasure with Democrats’ pro-crime agenda in November,” a National Republican Campaign Committee spokesperson, Mike Berg, said in a statement after Boudin’s defeat.

The race assumed national proportions from the start. Boudin’s backers warned that a successful recall campaign would offer a blueprint for the rest of the country: spend money to fan fears about crime and force left-leaning district attorneys out of office. That model could be especially effective as a spike in violent crime has left much of the public on edge. State legislatures in Pennsylvania and Illinois have already moved to try to allow the recalls of liberal prosecutors.

Tolerance built up towards drugs will create narco States across the U.S. In addition, heavy marijuana use among youths is leading to more addiction, antisocial behavior and more crimes.

Nice spin but it wasn’t about Boudin’s personality, it was about his failed policy.

I don’t know about that. An SF recall is a pretty strong message. Voting FOR someone in a district isn’t the same as specifically voting so the guy doesn’t finish his term — and let’s not forget the arrogance of your average Bay Area resident.

Some places are slower to learn. No surprise there.

The 'Victories' they got.
