As Daniel Flynn explains in Cult City: Jim Jones, Harvey Milk, and 10 Days that Shook San Francisco, Willie Brown was a supporter of Jim Jones, whom he compared to Einstein and Martin Luther King. Jones was a big hit with San Francisco Democrats, who gave Jones a seat on the city housing commission. Brown even wrote a letter to Fidel Castro, urging the Communist dictator to extend an official state visit to Jones, a “close personal friend and highly trusted brother in the struggle for liberation.” To be fair, Jones supporters included Harvey Milk, Walter Mondale, and Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.

I gotta give Willie Brown a bit of appreciation for using the phrase “crazier than Dewey.” I just wonder which Dewey he was referring to. Truman’s opponent Thomas Dewey? If so, how many people today even know who Thomas Dewey was?

Maybe Brown meant one of Donald Duck’s nephews.
