New York Magazine argued that Boudin's loss is because the City by the Bay "has never been its left-wing caricature" and was run by Republicans for the previous century. Uh, ok.

Others took things a step further and argued that San Francisco "has always been a conservative city," a claim that is just... no.

Meanwhile others continued to indulge and advance Boudin's campaign claim that the recall effort was some vast right wing conspiracy, which is also untrue.

As Townhall reported previously, current and former California Dem Party officials were pushing for the recall, and they also shot down the claims that conservatives were the driving force behind the successful attempt to fire Boudin. "The fact is San Francisco Democrats put the recall on the ballot with 83,000 signatures, and a recent poll shows the recall is supported by 64% of San Francisco Democrats," noted Nima Rahimi, an executive board member of the CA Democrat Party in an op-ed urging Boudin's removal. What's more, greater than 60 percent of San Francisco's voters are Democrats, and the last time a Republican held the mayor's office was in 1964.
