SF Mayor Ed Lee, unrepentant enabler of Kate Steinle’s killer, dies at 65

The hyper-politically correct leftist mayor of San Francisco since 2011, Edwin Mah Lee (D), died early this morning. He was 65. Lee was a token. He was San Francisco’s first Asian-American mayor, which in a sane country should not matter at all. His race and ethnic ancestry aren’t important and should count for nothing.

Lee was a strong supporter of the sanctuary city movement that gave illegal aliens permission to rob, rape, and murder Americans. Cheered on by the Left, sanctuary cities hinder immigration enforcement and shield illegal aliens from federal officials as a matter of policy. They ignore immigration detainer forms which ask them to retain illegals in their custody after they would otherwise release them so Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) can take custody of them. San Francisco refused to hand over felon and frequent deportee Jose Inez Garcia Zarate, who later went on to kill Kate Steinle. Lee was fine with this. Lee was also a fascist sympathizer, if not an actual fascist. Lee supported the ultra-violent street gangs of Antifa. He crushed the free speech rights of Patriot Prayer, an innocuous vaguely conservative organization. Hillary Clinton promptly over-praised Lee on Twitter, calling his death “a terrible loss for the people of San Francisco.”

Mayor Ed Lee’s death is a terrible loss for the people of San Francisco. He was a good friend & a vocal advocate for the city he served & loved. My thoughts are with his family.

Is it really a terrible loss? Lee will just be replaced by another cookie-cutter leftist kook. It’s a loss, for sure, but “terrible”? Nah. San Francisco’s crazed pursuit of utopia will continue. Rest in peace, Mayor Lee.
