'Recall Fever' Hits California as San Francisco DA Now Under Recall Threat

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, a former translator for Venezuela dictator Hugo Chavez, has angered the wrong people in the city. Prominent businessmen, as well as tech’s elite in Silicon Valley, are calling for his resignation or, failing that, starting a campaign to recall him.
Boudin is one of the “new breed†of district attorneys who believes that sending people to jail is racist. He has emptied the jails in the city with his “no bail†policy and won praise from criminal rights groups. But ordinary San Franciscans aren’t quite as pleased with his policies as the criminals. Hence, Boudin could very well find himself recalled. If that happens, Boudin would be the third prominent politician in the Golden State to be forced onto the ballot to prevent his ouster.
