We make fun of San Francisco and San Francisco values, but I’m very concerned for the future because San Francisco is actually spreading out. The State of California, which is sinking beneath the waves, is literally at the state level controlled by San Franciscans. Our Governor Jerry Brown is from San Francisco, our Lieutenant Governor [Gavin] Newsom is from San Francisco, Nancy Pelosi, the Minority Leader of the House is from San Francisco, the Attorney General Kamala Harris, who is a real, I think — and from my perspective it worries me — a real up and comer…who is very left-wing is from San Francisco, both our Senators are from San Francisco, and this small area with very left-wing values, that are not reflected throughout the rest of the state [Ed. or the rest of the country, for that matter], is the political artery to California and often California is the political artery to the rest of the country. So, I think San Francisco, for all of the mocking that has been done about San Francisco values, in many ways I think a cultural coup d’état is going on and that it’s a very powerful city and a center of politics in this country.

So, given California is the biggest shit-show in the Union, beyond effectively bankrupt, and going down faster than a high-speed boondoggle train, this should be about as damning a denunciation of the far-Left politics and ideology of “San Francisco” possible, no?
