Progressive political commentator Ana Kasparian pulled no punches in her assessment of how bad liberal mecca San Francisco has become thanks to rising crime, homelessness, and Democrat policies.
During the latest episode of businessman and commentator Patrick Bet-David’s podcast, the "Young Turks" co-host called the California city a "nightmare" and warned visitors, "Your car’s going to get broken into, okay? You’re going to get robbed."
The conversation began with Bet-David bringing up Kasparian’s X post from last month in which she claimed, "California is *without question* a shit show under Newsom. But I guess propping up proven failures is what the Democratic Party excels at these days."
Kasparian, a Los Angeles native, told the podcast's co-hosts she believes her hometown and California still have "a lot of potential," but added, "there have been some policies implemented that have been disastrous."
She took aim at Gov. Gavin Newsom, D-Calif., and the state government, stating, "So, Gavin Newsom and the current Democratic legislature in the state of California have engaged in this trend of decriminalizing everything and refusing to regulate things." She mentioned that the state government has done this with prostitution, for example.
"No one is safe, everyone’s angry, and you see all sorts of terrible stuff happening right there in broad daylight in the middle of the street."
"They did the same thing with drugs," she continued, adding, "So what do you see in California? A bunch of people shooting up, OK? And smoking crack all over the place."
Kasparian added, "I’m sorry, I’m not interested in seeing that! I don’t think we should be, you know, dealing with that on the metro system. Why do taxpayers have to deal with that?"
"The Young Turks" co-host then tore into San Francisco: "San Francisco is terrifying.

Kasparian’s getting interesting. Which she wasn’t before.
Even Leftist Californians noticing what a shithole their state has become.
Asians and Blacks in Chicago and New York noticing the absolute flood of illegal aliens is a problem and not wanting them there.
Jews noticing its the far left, not the right which really hates Jews.
How many of them will wake up when it comes time to vote? I’m not optimistic. The tribal loyalty is so strong, many of them will push right through the cognitive dissonance to vote Democrat again. Then they’ll keep complaining about Democrat policies they voted for.
If CA voters are so reliably lefty, why did CA go to sell mail-in?
Why did it just ban hand counting of ballots?
This winter with the four MILLION “immigrants” is going to be reeeeally interesting for SF and all the other “sanctuary cities”. Its gonna get ooogly methinks.
One thing you don’t want to say is “How could it get any worse?”
She’s a cutie, but as angry and far left as any moonbat could get. But crime is getting close to home and not just out there and reserved for the proles and goobers apparently.
bkmk socialist debauchery - “the San Francisco treat”
“So, Gavin Newsom and the current Democratic legislature in the state of California have engaged in this trend of decriminalizing everything and refusing to regulate things.”
Oh, they regulate plenty of things, to death. The few things they refuse to regulate are those they want to encourage, like illegal immigration.

Gosh, it's almost as if the elections are rigged by the Democrats, the courts are rigged by the Democrats, and the media carries their water for them all the time.
So why isn’t California full of Somalis and Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern types?
Not PROGRESSIVES!!
LEFTISTS!!
A mentally ill person often realizes his obsessions are abnormal, but he has no power to stop. Liberals are mentally ill.
I remember way back when Johnny Carson was still hosting the Tonight Show & was always commenting then on what a joke Newsom was & now he is governor of Calif. Of course, Newsom thinks that makes him important for having come up in the world that way. I think that since he is now governor, that makes him a bigger joke than ever. California should should have elected Johnny Carson back when they may have had the chance. They could hardly be any worse off than they are now.
Ana's been taking a lot of baby steps toward conservatism lately.
I'm sure she makes too much money to ever pull the trigger, though.
Although, maybe she and Chunk could do a Hannity and Colmes type show.
It sounds like she is starting to “get it”.
She is going to have to heavily censor herself for a while...
and then maybe in a few years she will become another David Horowitz.
For those who don’t know his story—Horowitz was raised by an openly Communist family, was an outspoken leftist writer and activist for many years, and then switched sides and became one of our side’s most effective and articulate advocates.
His bio is amazing reading:

It can happen.
Kasparian has stopped falling for the 'nonprofit' lies that handing out crack pipes makes drug addicts 'less criminal'?
She's NOT buying the crap that rewarding antisocial behavior makes it away?
She's aware the sexual mutilation of children is wrong?
And Kasparian's starting to see 'intentions' don't matter when the results are a nightmare and a nightmare and a nightmare again and again and again? OK - she doesn't know it, but she's becoming one of us...
So true.
