There’s plenty of reasons to loathe House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Democrat California Governor once married into her family – Gavin Newsom.
But a report out of their hometown just gave the biggest.
And Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom headed for the exits when SF reported this jaw-dropping fact.
Violent crime is up in major urban centers around the country.
And leadership in these cities are not doing enough to address the problem.
Now one crime stat from Nancy Pelosi and Gavin Newsom’s hometown of San Francisco left everyone’s jaw on the floor.
Pelosi and Newsom’s hometown is more of a hellhole than anyone knew
Democrat-run San Francisco is arguably the most leftist city in the country, and its pro-crime policies are making life a living hell for many residents.
Criminals have been emboldened by far-Left district attorneys who refuse to prosecute property crimes.
Homelessness and open-air drug use, two contributing factors to crime, have also run rampant.
And a recent survey from The San Francisco Chronicle showed that the crime problem is even worse than people thought.
The Chronicle reported that “in a city where leaders are constantly groping for solutions, some residents still feel afraid to walk home alone or lock their bikes downtown. A sweeping poll commissioned by The Chronicle drew sobering results: Nearly half of respondents said they were victims of theft in the last five years, while roughly a quarter were physically attacked or threatened. The majority had negative impressions of law enforcement. The SFNext poll asked a random sample of 1,653 city residents more than 90 questions about numerous aspects of life in San Francisco. It was conducted in late June and July, and respondents reflect the city’s demographics.”
Half of the residents were victims
It’s truly shocking that half of the respondents were victims of theft within the past five years.
That is a symbol that a city is completely out of control.
Politicians have paid lip service, but little has been done.
After a spate of robberies at high-end stores, Mayor London Breed said in a press conference, “It is time for the reign of criminals who are destroying our city—it is time for it to come to an end. And it comes to an end when we take the steps to be more aggressive with law enforcement, more aggressive with the changes in our policies, and less tolerant of all the bullsh*t that has destroyed our city.”
Communist district attorney Chesa Boudin was recalled by city residents because of his radical pro-crime policies.
But not much has changed.
At the end of the day, Democrats want to have their cake and eat it, too.
They want “progressive” policies while they demonize police officers.
The result has been lawlessness and the normalization of crime.
