In fact, some showed up outside the rally to counter-protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThey feel like they have been cheated and their backstabbed because the policies that Boudin has been implementing have been very hurtful for our community so that\u2019s why I’m here,\u201d said recall supporter Leanna Louie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Supporters disagree and say he is doing just what he promised and reforming a broken system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Former State Senator Mark Leno sees it this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is recall madness and we have to stop it or this just the new way of life and truth doesn\u2019t stand in the way, respect for the voters,\u201d said Leno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Critics have blasted the DA, claiming his office has failed to hold criminals accountable By\u00a0Christie Smith\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Published October 21, 2021\u00a0\u2022\u00a0Updated on\u00a0October 22, 2021\u00a0at\u00a012:36 am (nbcbayarea.com) Link to video: https:\/\/www.nbcbayarea.com\/news\/local\/dozens-rally-in-support-of-san-francisco-da-as-recall-push-continues\/2695704\/ San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin is bracing for another attempted recall.
