OPINION: greggutfeld: SF's recall of DA Chesa Boudin is a sign voters are done with 'progressive experiments'
'Gutfeld!' panelists react to the ousting of Chesa Boudin, San Francisco's former DA, and discuss the role progressive DAs have played in the rise of violent crimes across the United States.You know, it's always good when dangerous products get recalled. Like, say, defective airbags, or faulty gas pedals, or flimsy children's high chairs — thank God they recalled those, I remember the nasty fall I took at Applebee's on my 40th birthday.
It was a long time coming, his stance on crime was softer than Kevin Spacey at a Girl Scout Jamboree. Yeah, I think we can call this one early. The last guy to take a beating like that was seen running out of Amber Heard's apartment.So is the recall election a good sign that voters are finally done with these perverse, progressive experiments that turn the criminal justice system into a catch-and-release program for violent creeps?
Remember, he ordered prosecutors to stop seeking prison sentences for many thugs, downgrading charges in cases including armed robberies. Remember, you could brandish a gun, and it wouldn't count as long as you didn't use it. The result, an explosion in recidivism. Criminals took advantage because unlike politicians, they may be lawless, but they're not stupid. Now we know this rise in violent crime coincides directly with the rise of progressive DAs.
