Chesa Boudin (son of domestic terrorists) wins San Francisco D.A. election

Chesa Boudin will serve as San Francisco's next district attorney, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Saturday.

Boudin, the most progressive candidate on the ballot, won a tight race against interim district attorney Suzy Loftus. Boudin held 85,950 votes as of Saturday afternoon, with about 1,200 ballots left to count, the Chronicle said. Loftus had 83,511 votes.

The 39-year-old won the seat following four days of ballot counting in the city's first open election for district attorney in over a century following sitting District Attorney George Gascon's departure to run for district attorney in Los Angeles.

"We are all feeling the momentum for change in this city!" Boudin tweeted Friday after learning he held a slight lead in the election.

The former deputy public defender ran on a campaign that promised to address racial disparity in the criminal justice system, mass incarceration and police accountability.

Chesa Boudin wrote to his father, who is serving a sentence of 75 years to life: “I’m proud of you for standing up for your anti-imperialist and anti-racist politics.”

Being the son of domestic terrorists likely helped him win the election. How much love do you think San Fran-sicko has for America?

San Francisco elects the “most progressive” of the candidates, the son and stepson of communists and terrorists.

The good news is that I am over 2000 miles from San Francisco. The bad news is this guy will probably go to Washington some day.

I feel sorry for any normal people who may be left in San Francisco.

Daily News from New York, New York
Saturday, October 24, 1981

Kathy Boudin refused to identify the father of her 18-month-old son on the child’s birth certificate. The Daily News learned yesterday that Boudin’s son, Chesa, was born on Aug. 21, 1980 at Sloan Hospital for Women at the Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. An obstetrician named Susan Williamson delivered the child. The birth certificate identifies the child as C. Jackson Adams and the mother as Lydia Adams, the name Boudin used to apply for public assistance from the city. Consistent with the welfare application, Lydia Adams gave her age as 34 and her date of birth as April 28. 1946. Boudin, in reality, is 38. In addition, “Adams” said her place of birth was Colorado and that she was then living at 50 Morningside Drive. The spaces for the father’s name, age and place of birth were left blank.

Terence Hallinan, who was SF DA before Kamala Harris, had Communist ties. His father, Vincent Hallinan, a successful lawyer, ran for president after Henry Wallace on the Progressive ticket. Father and son had a variety of legal troubles: tax evasion for Vincent, fisticuffs for Terence.

In February of 1970, his parents bombed the Berkeley Police Department and Golden Gate Branch of the San Francisco Police Department. In July of that same year, his parents bombed the Presidio Army Base in San Francisco and later in October, there was the bombing of the Marin County Courthouse.

In 1971, it was the bombing of the Office of California Prisons and three years later on May 31, 1974 they bombed the Office of the California Attorney General!

Well, the S.F. Police Officers Association did run ads and do mailings against him. In fact, of the 4 candidates, he was, to my knowledge, the only at whom negative ads were directed. Did it derail him? Obviously not. Perversely, it probably helped him rather than hurt him. The “f-— the police” crowd is big in S.F.

Obviously, there’s no shortage of far-left voters in S.F. for whom the Weather Underground connection, being raised by Bill Ayers, having worked in the Hugo Chavez administration are positives not negatives.

And, of course, there were some other factors at play. For one thing, his last name didn’t hurt. A venerable local sourdough bread brand is Boudin, and there has been some speculation that elderly and low-information voters mistakenly thought he was related to that bakery family.

The other thing, to give the devil his due, was that he did probalby campaign harder than the other candidates. I regularly saw him and his band of dedicated young leftists pushing his candidacy at Sunday street fairs for months.

David Gilbert grew up in a Jewish family in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. He was an Explorer Scout, and his father was Post Leader, of a South Brookline Explorer Post. Inspired in his teens by the Greensboro sit-ins and other events of the Civil Rights Movement, he joined the Congress of Racial Equality at age seventeen. He entered Columbia University in 1962. In March 1965, Gilbert founded the Independent Committee on Vietnam (ICV) at Columbia University. Later, in the same year, he co-founded the Columbia University Chapter of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) which merged with ICV in the Fall of 1966, even though there was already a chapter set in place that was formed in the early 1960s. The SDS chapter founded by Gilbert became renowned.[2]...

Wasn’t Barack Obama at Columbia in this time period? When did he connect with Ayers and company?
