As if Trump’s monumental comeback victory wasn’t enough, the George Soros-backed, left wing Los Angeles DA George Gascón lost his reelection bid last night to Republican challenger Nathan Hochman.
This is simply one more sign that the American public has had it with the far left.
Politico reports:
George Gascón, Los Angeles’ embattled progressive prosecutor, loses reelection bid George Gascón, who rode a criminal justice reform wave after George Floyd’s murder to become the Los Angeles County District Attorney, has lost his reelection bid, according to The Associated Press.The progressive prosecutor was defeated handily by Nathan Hochman, a Republican-turned-independent former tax attorney.Gascón came into office in 2020 promising to turn back the county’s history of lock ‘em up law enforcement. He ended cash bail, declined to seek the death penalty and halted the use of sentencing enhancements, a position he partially rolled back over time.
In a directly related development, California voters approved Proposition 36, which will allow law enforcement to crack down on crime.
FOX News reports:
Proposition 36 overwhelmingly passes in California, reversing some Soros-backed soft-on-crime policiesA ballot measure that will roll back some of California’s most controversial soft-on-crime policies has overwhelmingly passed in the deep blue state.Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act, sought to undo portions of Proposition 47 by increasing penalties for some crimes.When Proposition 47 passed in 2014, it downgraded most thefts from felonies to misdemeanors if the amount stolen was under $950, “unless the defendant had prior convictions of murder, rape, certain sex offenses, or certain gun crimes.”An overwhelming 71% of Californians supported Proposition 36, according to a September survey by the Public Policy Institute of California, a nonpartisan think tank, despite a strong progressive rebuke of the proposition. But in the last several years, retail chains and mom-and-pop shops have been hit hard by theft, smash-and-grab robberies and organized retail crime gangs.
There is a Simpsons clip for every situation:
Congratulations, California voters. You got this one right.
