You can’t imagine the advantage to having your base read Local Shady Billionaire Cabal Wants To Kill Your Favorite Politicians headlines a month before an important election that will set Democratic Party endorsements for the next few cycles? The tweet is not particularly damning. San Francisco politics is characterized as a knife fight in a phone booth. Much worse things are said all the time without an immediate retraction and apology. This one gets news coverage because certain parties have stooges like Joe at Mission Local (Peskin mouthpiece) and Aldo at S.F. Chronicle (Preston mouthpiece) gassing up non-stories into media events. For example, it was well known that former school board commissioner Allison Collins was a huge bully. Eventually, the Chron placed a piece profiling a former SFUSD employee who literally moved to Mexico to escape the personal targeting she did. And yet this behavior was barely covered and progs got in line to endorse her in the recall campaign. Similarly, Supervisor Walton threatened a black security guard at city hall without everyone clutching pearls about it (he doubled down when probed).
