Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price faced criticism as she compared the ongoing recall campaign against her to January 6th at the U.S. Capitol. In an interview with KTVU, Price maintained her defiant stance and commitment to her progressive policies.
According to CBS, Price’s response to the recall effort and her critics suggested that outside special-interest groups supported by the Republican Party are backing the campaign.
Safe Alameda for Everyone (SAFE), the group that initiated the recall effort, advocates for being “tough on crime” and actively organizes the campaign.
Price made a bizarre statement that the role of a district attorney has little to no impact on crime rates, as she mentioned in the CBS News interview.
Beyond her progressive policies, controversies surround high-profile cases such as the murder of toddler Jasper Wu and Home Depot loss prevention employee Blake Mohs. Price’s recent comments have further deepened the controversy, upsetting the community that seeks answers and a safer environment.
