San Francisco politics just got another dose of delicious drama, and we’re here for it. 🍿

State Senator Scott Wiener is spinning a wild tale about a secret political plot involving former Supervisor Aaron Peskin allegedly orchestrating the recall campaign against Supervisor Joel Engardio. Talk about local government tea! 🫖

The Conspiracy Unfolds

Wiener claims Peskin has been “quietly pushing” the recall and has now “formally taken it over”. But Peskin’s response? Classic San Francisco sass: “Scott Wiener is full of shit”.

Behind the Scenes

The recall campaign recently saw its head organizer, Vin Budhai, abruptly resign. GrowSF, a local political group, noted that Budhai handed leadership to Jamie Hughes, a Peskin ally. Cue the political intrigue!

The Real Story

Interestingly, if Engardio is recalled, Mayor Daniel Lurie would appoint a replacement - likely not someone aligned with Peskin’s political circles. Hughes maintains the recall is simply about Engardio “betraying his constituents”.

The whole saga reads like a satirical political drama, proving once again that San Francisco’s local politics are never boring. Stay tuned, political junkies! 🌉
