The first attempt to recall DA Gascón was largely a Republican effort. Where police boosters and MAGA activists gathered signatures. And the effort failed in October 2021.
George Gascón support fading
As the crime rate skyrocketed, the momentum to ouster the DA grew. And the latest recall seems to be backed by right-wing donors, deep-pocketed Democrats, and Hollywood luminaries. So far $1.8 million has been raised for the recall.
Increasing crime is hitting the mall owners and supermarket magnates in the pocketbooks. And with the criminals “emboldened” and violent crimes rising both political parties are worried.
“After observing the negative effects of his policies and practices on public safety, I am compelled to rescind that endorsement,” said former Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck.
Beck served as the top cop in LA from 2009 to 2018. And he backed Gascón during his 2019 campaign.
The former chief claims he has had a close personal relationship with Gascón for over 30 years. And now believes LA cops and residents “would be made safer and better served by a District Attorney that emphasizes the rights of victims and the safety of our police officers.”
George Gascón DA Policies
Gascon is among several Progressive DAs in major cities who have come under fire for their policies. The list includes new Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. He was criticized by the widow of a murdered NYPD cop, Jason Rivera during his funeral last month.
