Unidentified teenage driver ran over a California mom in Los Angeles County on August 20, 2021. Rachel Hart, a mother of a baby, was pushing her stroller along when the reckless driver hit her.
In the years since, she has been the face of recall George Gascon. The citizens of Los Angeles County seem beyond fed up with Gascon’s soft-on-crime, victimizing criminals approach. Gascon’s soft-on-crime, victimizing criminals approach makes the residents of the county uncomfortable. They are asking for Gascon to be removed from their community by signing the recall petition.
Hart stated that she tried her best to ensure that her attacker (a juvenile on probation) would face the most severe charges. However, he was only charged with two counts of assault and one count of felony hit-and run.

“I still thought, ‘OK, maybe he’ll get five years.’ For me, that was a really low bar,” Hart said on “Fox & Friends First” Thursday. “Five months is what he got.”
Crime has risen in Los Angeles due to Gascon’s reckless policies. Criminals have not been serving their full sentencing and that is due to Gascon wanting to “reduce prison time” for criminals. Gascon, particularly in the most populous county, should be recalled and replaced with a tough-on crime DA.
“The probation officer certainly made a lot of mistakes it sounds like, but had it not been for Gascon’s soft-on-crime policies, this guy would be behind bars right now.” Hart said.
Hart wasn’t involved in recall Gascon, but her opinion quickly changed after she was hit by the careless driver.
“I didn’t understand that the DA can have such a negative or positive impact on an entire county,” she said.
To get recall Gascon on the ballot, the campaign had to gather 566 857 signatures. Two weeks ago, they had exceeded that number. As they are verifying signatures, campaign officials warned Los Angeles County residents that there are approximately 150,000 additional signatures needed in the event of a mistake during verification.
Hart said that while the recall is likely to be on November’s ballot, Gascon will continue as DA and victimize criminals until then.
“It’s really hard to wrap your head around the fact that one person can be responsible for so much disaster, but like I said, from the top down, he is the ultimate party who’s responsible for all of this.”
The momentum for recalling Gascon is stronger than ever after San Francisco residents recalled DA Chesa Bourdin. It’s also worth noting this is not a “Republican recall” or “Republican takeover.” Democrats, Republicans, and Independents are united to make sure the streets are safe again, criminals serve their time in prison, and although the progressives and leftist “activists” want Gascon to remain in power, there are so many people pissed off and feeling unsafe, that the so-called activists will not be able to sway the results of this recall.
Los Angeles County voters will have the opportunity to vote in November for safety and stability if and when recalls are on the ballot.
