Newly-installed Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón has apologized to the family of murder victim Joshua Rodriguez for telling them to “keep their mouth shut” as they protested his appearance in Pomona, California on Friday.
Video of the interaction shows Gascon saying: “It’s unfortunate that we have people who do not have enough education so they can keep their mouth shut for a moment so we can talk.”
A woman’s voice, later identified as Rodriguez’s mother, is heard responding: “My son can never speak again because he was murdered — kidnapped, tortured, and murdered. My son matters.”
Gascón was elected with the help of millions of dollars from left-wing billionaire George Soros, who has funded the election of left-wing prosecutors across the country. Since taking office earlier this month, he has begun implementing radical policies that have included ending cash bail, preventing prosecutors from seeking the death penalty, and removing some sentencing enhancements for crimes such as using a gun or belonging to a gang.
One case involved a suspect charged with a double murder, including that of L.A. Sherrif’s Deputy Gilbert Solano.
After public criticism, he restored some enhancements, including for hate crimes, child abuse, or sex trafficking — though not for crime with guns, gangs, or prior convictions.)
Other Soros-backed prosecutors include Chicago’s Kim Foxx, notorious for protecting Jussie Smollett; and Kim Gardner of St. Louis, who charged Patricia and Mark McCloskey with felonies for defending their property from a Black Lives Matter mob. She was recently removed from Patricia McCloskey’s case after using it to raise campaign funds.

Coming soon to your City (or county) thanks to George Soros and th elib/left funding stream he has loosed in the US.
Too late.
Gascon has revealed himself to be a statist of the most revolting character.
Until filth like this are hanging from the Gallows there where be no end to it.
My son matters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only if he is black.
Black Lives Matter
Others, not so much
Which is why LA voted him into office.
Gascon only apologized because there was video of the incident. Regardless, he’s probably sitting in his office right now, trying to figure out how to get back at the mother.
That’s just how today’s liberal elite rolls.
SMH
Dems are NOT public servants. They are rulers, and don’t you dare forget it.
This guy needs to be put on a list for when the color revolution goes millennium DXL
Now, that (Telling the grieving family to STFU, and calling them ‘uneducated’) was indeed a most embarrassing moment....EVEN for a Democrat/Socialist.
And you know it take a whole lot to ‘embarrass’ a Dem/Socialist.
This was during his first full week in that office, and he’s already had to walk back a couple of plans on how to treat criminals.
The first person to put a bullet in Soros will become a national hero.
Not so sure about that.
Massive vote fraud in California has been hinted at for decades.
Problem is that it's so widespread, and there's so much corruption, that no one knows what to do about it.
Good one !
I cannot believe that the turd known as Soros is still walking the planet.
His sons are as bad if not worse.
