It didn’t take John Legend’s endorsement of Soros-funded San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin to prove he is a walking tool. It does reinforce his status as a Champagne elite.
Chesa Boudin, a San Francisco resident, is fighting for a recall. Chesa was my supporter for DA in his campaign for election. Now, I am supporting him. More on his work since taking office in 2020 here: https://t.co/wjAxkYiYSN
Vote NO for the recall DA @chesaboudinBy June 7,— John Legend (@johnlegend) April 13, 2022
This tweet is only one in a series of many where the EGOT-winning singer/songwriter endorses all progressive Democrats running for District Attorney across the country.
What. A. Shock.
Legend and Chrissy Teigen are the owners of several homes, but none in San Francisco. The Beverly Hills home they purchased for 14.1 million dollars is their latest acquisition. If they feel bored from wandering around all the bedrooms they can head to their West Hollywood home of 3,400 sq. feet. If they’re feeling adventurous, there are two Manhattan penthouses they can sleep in.
What is the difference between out of touch and much?
John Legend, Grammy winner announced Twitter Wednesday afternoon he is supporting San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin in his June 7 recall election. Legend claimed that he had supported Boudin more than two years ago, when the district attorney ran for office.
Legend tweeted to his 13 million followers to vote no in Boudin’s recall election in a couple months.
Boudin’s recall came into question after growing concerns over public safety and criticism of his handling of several high-profile cases. Legend, despite the many people who want to remove Boudin from office, isn’t one of them.
Asian Americans are often targeted by crime, and many people must dodge drug-fueled homelessness attacks and step over needles in the streets, but Legend is transported in limousines surrounded with armed security officers.
It is possible to get high if your head is so far up that your hindquarters are.
One person Legend didn’t endorse in his thread: Michael Shellenberger, a San Francisco author, activist and progressive Democrat who is running against Gavin Newsom for governor.
Here’s what Shellenberger had to say about Chesa Boudin:
Chesa Boudin, who ran in 2019 for San Francisco District Attorney, said that crime is caused by poverty and wealth inequality as well as inadequate spending of government funds on social programs. He called prostitution, open drug use and drug dealing “victimless crimes” and promised not to prosecute them. The result has been an increase in crime so sharp that San Francisco’s liberal residents are now paying for private security guards, taking self-defense classes, and supporting a recall of Mr. Boudin, with a vote set for June 2022. Retailers like Walgreens and Target are closing stores in the city, citing rampant shoplifting. Last week, a shockingly organized mob of looters ransacked a downtown Louis Vuitton store.
We’re sure Legend’s personal assistant is the one who has to watch out for the smash and grabs, since Legend and Co. probably doesn’t have to step foot out of the house to shop. It is possible to shop for your groceries by hiring others, if you have the means to do so.
His personal assistant does have a job. San Francisco is losing companies quicker than people who can afford fentanyl because of its rampant criminality. Just recently, the CEO of a cryptocurrency exchange said that San Francisco was not safe and that they were closing their Market Street headquarters.
A San Francisco-based cryptocurrency exchange’s CEO announced the closure of its Market Street headquarters in the city for good — and blasted San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin in the process.
Jesse Powell, Kraken CEO and Boudin recall organizer. This statement was shared for the first time by conservative mayoral candidate. Richie Greenberg on Twitter, appeared to shame Boudin for employees getting harassed and for “crime, mental illness and drug abuse” in the city.
“San Francisco is not safe and will not be safe until we have a DA who puts the rights of law abiding citizens above those of the street criminals he so ingloriously protects,” Powell wrote in the statement. Powell also praised police in his statement, saying they were “known to arrest the same offenders dozens of times” thanks to Boudin.
John Legend, however, bounces around in his bubble and gazes through rose-colored Gucci sunglasses while expounding on progressive talk points about equity, community services, and the loss of justice due to the excessively large police budget.
This word, “defund”, has been controversial even among those who agree with many of its underlying arguments. Some people hear the word “defund” and immediately picture The Purge or a dystopian descent into chaos.

After the George Floyd rioting, looting, and violence in the Summer 2020, he wrote this. This video, taken 2 years later, does not seem like an attempt to descend into anarchy.

Legend went on to exaggerate. this thread:
“Police funding takes up a huge portion of our local budgets. Budgets, which are moral documents, clearly state our priorities. We have finite amounts of money to spend and right now we spend far too much on policing and that choice comes at a cost.”
Priorities? For example, four houses worth multimillions of dollars for four families?
Legend, raise your head from your stomach so you can get all the seats.
