Oakland's district attorney has vowed to fight against the 'hatred and racism' as she faces a possible recall vote after just 14 months in charge.

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is under pressure over the soaring levels of crime in the dying Bay Area city.

But she claims the campaign against her is being 'financed by billionaires who have no interest in public safety', according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

'I plan to push back against the hatred and racism that they have brought to Alameda County,' Price said on Friday following a panel with other county prosecutors at the University of California, Berkeley.

It comes after she was accused of regularly dubbing 'the media and the Asians' as her enemies in a bombshell $1.5 million legal filing.

Price, who was previously a civil rights lawyer, became the county's first black district attorney when she was elected in 2022.

She promised to reduce sentences for defendants under the ages of 25, crack down on police misconduct and end mass incarceration.

But a campaign has been launched to recall her and its sponsors submitted 123,000 signatures to county election officials on Monday.

The county's Registrar of Voters has 10 days to decide whether the petition includes at least 73,000 valid signatures to put the question to a vote.

More than $2million has been raised to remove Price from office and the largest donation was $390,000 from Oakland resident and financier Phillip Dreyfuss.

The panel at the event was hosted by former San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin who was recalled by voters in the city back in 2022. He was also accused of being soft of crime.

Boudin claimed he looked to 'decrease reliance on incarceration as the primary response to social problems'.

Oakland’s black males have got to be either dumb or blind to have voted for this Medusa.

Nobody really votes in urban areas - functionaries make sure registrations are "voted" according the ruling party's needs.

“’I plan to push back against the hatred and racism that they have brought to Alameda County,’ Price said on Friday following a panel with other county prosecutors at the University of California, Berkeley.”

Funny... how these leftist cretins always blame racism if/when they are black and doing a really crappy job. And when they’re white, they just blame “politics”. Considering how it is, in fact, race and politics that ‘got’ them the jobs in the first place, I find it highly ironic.
