Supporters of the drive to recall far-left San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin celebrated their victory Wednesday, while the ousted public official defended his soft-on-crime policies and blamed “right-wing billionaires” for his overwhelming defeat. Recall proponents toasted their victory with leaders of the state’s hotel and retail associations and lauded Boudin’s Tuesday defeat as a win for San Francisco tourists, shoppers and workers who had sounded the alarm about rising crime and deteriorating conditions in one of America’s most liberal cities.“There are so many car break-ins, house break-ins and stolen bicycles,” local resident Kevin Wakelin told the San Francisco Examiner. “No one can afford a brand new bicycle every other week but that truly happens to some of us, and it’s terrible. He [Boudin] needs to take responsibility for that.”
