The radical left's crown jewel of urban decay just delivered a perfect metaphor for Democrat governance - San Francisco's mayor needed police protection from his own voters, and even that couldn't keep him safe from the chaos his party created.
Democrat Mayor Daniel Lurie's security team was attacked Thursday evening in the city's notorious Tenderloin neighborhood, just hours before the embattled mayor finally admitted what every American with eyes already knew: San Francisco's governance is "broken" and needs a complete "reset."
The timing couldn't be more perfect - or more damning. Here's a Democrat mayor who inherited decades of progressive policy disasters, getting a firsthand taste of the lawless wasteland his party transformed America's once-beautiful city into.
San Francisco Police said in a statement that perfectly captures the irony. The mayor needs armed protection from the very citizens suffering under the policies he represents.
This is what happens when you let radical Democrats run a city into the ground for decades. Open-air drug markets, rampant homelessness, unchecked crime, and now even the mayor's security can't keep him safe in his own city.
While President Trump works tirelessly to restore law and order nationwide, Democrat strongholds like San Francisco continue their death spiral. Lurie's call for a "reset" is nothing more than progressive doublespeak for "please don't blame us for the disaster we created."
The Tenderloin district where this attack occurred has become a symbol of everything wrong with Democrat governance - a place where working families fear to walk while criminals operate with impunity.
How many more attacks, how many more businesses fleeing, how many more lives destroyed will it take before San Francisco voters finally wake up and demand real change? Or will they continue electing the same failed Democrats who created this mess while expecting different results?
