Residents in S.F., L.A. looking to recall Soros-backed DA’s

Californians are putting their soros-backed district attorney’s on the chopping block for their soft-on-crime policies. Tuesday’s primary ballots will give San Franciscans the chance to oust DA Chesa Boudin (D-Calif.). The embattled attorney has decried the effort as a Republican hit job, but 64 percent of Democrat voters reportedly supported the recall effort. Even progressive Mayor London Breed (D-Calif.) spoke out against her DA’s approach to crime.
